CNN's poll dodges the issue of who won.
Normally, after a debate, one might expect to be asked who won the debate. I guess when your guy loses (or at the very least, clearly didn't come away the winner) you don't want to advertise that on your homepage.

So CNN has opted for a poll asking whether the debate helped people decide who to vote for.

Worthless information.

2. I noticed a few polls like that.
When you stop and think about it I guess they are unwittingly telling us who they think won.

3. They switched polls late last night....
at first running a who won poll....but then switched to another poll, I suspect, when Edwards was winning.

4. they had a poll up last night... but it was super pro-Edwards...
...after around 400,000 votes they turned it off and put up the lame-ass one you see now. Its so obvious to EVERYBODY that its BS. Notice how the spinmeisters are just avoiding mentioning the word "poll" now! Brilliant.
