That focus group with Nora O'Donnell afer the debate
6 people thought Obama won the debate and 4 thought McCain won. It should have been more like 8 to 2. Where do they find these people?

1. I hate when they do the focus groups
They are useless.

2. When I lived in Philly, King of Prussia PA was upscale and RED
So 6 of 10 is a great showing.

If Nora had held the focus group in Northeast Philly it would have been 10 of 10.

4. I thought it was supposed to be a random sample
but it looks like they skewed it to be "balanced". Not a good representation of the real world.

3. There were more than 10 people.

Nora told you 60 %.... the camera never zoomed out to see the entire group and count noses.

From what we did see... it appeared to me that MORE than 60% said Obama, but that was just within the field of view.

Think she would lie about the numbers? I think she would.

5. Apparently people that can't make up their mind....
after 2 friggin years, are somehow glorified, and propped up onto a national stage while we all hang on the edge of our seats to hear what they have to say. The reality is that most of these people are nothing more than attention seeking control freaks that enjoy the perceived "power" they have over the electoral process.

7. They were undecided voters. You're not expecting intelligent people to be among them, are you?
If people haven't made up their mind at this point who they are going to vote for, in this election especially, then they're complete and utter dunderheads. You expect intelligent feedback from them?

8. I just love how the 'undecided' dolts

always cite lack of 'specifics' when questioned after a debate. What? Do they really think a debate is the place to look for the specifics of any program? Do they think it makes them seem smart as opposed to the lunk heads they obviously are?

Does it take two years to make up your mind? Did they ever hear about the internet? 'Specifics' my ass.
