Heard The Funniest About A Poll Of Who Won The Debate......
the announcer on the radio said - Obama won 52% and McCain was at 38%.

Then went on to say this to kind of give a break to McCain:

"This poll was only taken of people who watched/heard the debate".

What the hell does that mean? Who else would you ask but people who watched or heard it. I don't think the opinion of people that didn't watch/hear the debate would have an opinion or their opinion would be very valuable.

Also said more Dems were asked then Repugs - and that could attribute the wide margin. And said because Obama was ahead in the polls going into the debate - he won the debate.

1. So people who didn't
watch or listen to the debate gave the advantage to McCain?

Figures. There are still plenty of stupid people out there.

2. Perhaps there should be a poll of those who didn't watch or listen to it???

3. More Dems were asked because
there are more Dems as a proportion of the population.

5. Either they were trying to make a joke, or
the poll specified only people who watched or heard the debate were chosen--kind of like the "close cover before striking" DUH instruction on a matchbox cover.

6. As opposed to those who only watched/heard talking heads telling them what to think?
