The polls on Monday/Tuesday will tell the story of who won.

JoeSixPack doesn't post on poltical boards too much or click on internet polls, but he does pick up the phone.

It's kind of comparable to the 1960 debates between Kennedy and Nixon. Nixon won with radio listeners, but lost with T.V. viewers. Biden won with intellectuals, but Palin won with your average JoeSixPack and Betty Rubble.

The intellectuals are out-numbered.

I think this race will be tied up by Tuesday, and then it's up for grabs from here to the finish line.

Paging Reverend Wright.

He's good for at least a three point swing with some sharply produced ads.

McCain wins by a nose. If the economy tanks between now and then, edge Obama.

Nah, I just think he prefers to debate, "adult style."

Oh ok, you mean the adult Liberal style, which is by mischaracterizing of everything conservatives have to say, stating false arguments and false facts, and then when conservatives have anything to say about it, they get aggressive. Or do you mean the adult Liberal style of presenting everything with a ridiculous left-wing slant and bias?

I got you. "Adult [liberal] style"...

Face facts, CNN, NBC, and CBS are RIDICULOUSLY to the left, and presenting them as neutral sources is nothing short of asinine. Don't hate the truth deliverer, hate the truth.

Oh, so you think people tuned in to see Palin suffer? Interesting.

No, I think they tuned in to watch a train-wreck (could have been either Palin or Biden's performance) and were disappointed.

By definition, "train wrecks" are not pleasant. I was under the impression liberals don't take any glee in emotional carnage. My mistake.

I think you are you probably deluding yourself if you think that a VP debate will make any difference in the polls.

People tuned in because they wanted to see how Palin would do. Just the same, this is not a cultural election this time around, its an issues election and the majority of Americans do not agree with McCain and Palin on the issues they are most concerned with. The same polls that indicated Biden won the debate are the same polls that indicated Obama won last Friday's debate. Obama significantly increased his lead in the polls following that debate. So we have good reason to believe that the CBS and CNN polls are quite accurate as to how viewers felt about the debates.

it would be folly to think that the reason this was a RECORD VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH PALIN
are you nucking futs?

SouthernDemocrat

Of course it had to do with Palin. She is something new and different. People wanted to see what she would do in the debate. However, that does not automatically translate to voter support. I tuned in to see how Palin would do, but I am not going to vote for her.
