1. Meaningless click "poll"
Could you wait until we have some real poll results? I'm bummed because you got my hopes up.

3. These aren't meaningless
If enough people weigh in and oppose the MSM line, they will change it.

8. No.
Real polls influence the MSM. But for these click polls, they know as well as we do that they've been either freeped or DU'ed. The "poll" results posted in this topic simply record the fact that many more Democrats than Republicans visit this particular website.

Real polls are influential, and they also tell us something real. Let's wait for them.

7. Don't know who you were watching but Barack did just fine tonight.
In fact he made mccain look bad because he showed how negative the grouch is. the pundits may say it is a tie but they are also saying that cain was seen as disrespectful and snide by those watching.

Obama is a man, and he does not need to grow anything that you suggest.

9. If Obama's a man, I sure didn't see it tonight
"You're absolutely right, John!"

"Go ahead, tell me that I don't understand ANYTHING, John. I won't object to it one bit!"

"Yes, John, I'm very naive. Thank you for bringing it to the public's attention!"

And so on, ad nauseum.

Obama freakin' bombed tonight, and anybody who doesn't get it is just delusional. Swing voters are going to think that, if he can't stand up to McCain, how the hell will he stand up to foreign leaders?

11. Have you seen ANY of the opinion polls among independents right now?
You're full of SHIT and have NOTHING on which to base what you're saying right now, so shut the fuck up already.

12. I base my statement on what Obama did in the debate
If you're too ignorant to see this, then you need to shut the fuck up.

13. No he really doesn't
The reaction of the independents (the real prize of the debates) show that they don't like a strongly negative attitude.
McCain slit his own throat with his behavior. He was talking to his base. Obama was talking to the people.
