Phoned in polls really don't mean much as the demographic sampling is uncontrolled.

:thumbsup:

Wait for the Rasmussen and Zogby polls that will reflect this debate in a few days.

Unfortunately i only caught the last 35 minutes of the debate. I saw no clear winner in that time. I definitely saw how my bias shaped the way i perceived things. Here's a few examples.

McCain was smirking the whole time. Big difference between a beady eyed smirk, and a smile of disbelief. He looked unhinged on a few occasions. especially during the abortion question, at one point he was visibly about to blow his top...that is scary to ME.

As far as Obama he seemed overly careful and unsure of himself. As if he was not certain what tactic to take. He also seemed to get stuck on his thoughts at times. Though he showed a calmness much more desirable for in a president, at least for this fan of ANTI WAR policy.

the CBS poll was solid and i think the CNN poll was too:

This CBS News poll was conducted online by Knowledge Networks among a nationwide random sample of 638 uncommitted voters - voters who donâ??t yet know who they will vote for, or who have chosen a candidate but may still change their minds - who have agreed to watch the debate. Knowledge Networks, a market and public policy research firm based in Menlo Park, CA, conducted the web poll among a sample of adult members of its panel, who are provided web access if they don't already have it. More technical information is available at Additional Information about KN for Reviewers.

This is a scientifically representative poll of uncommitted votersâ?? reaction to the presidential debate. The margin of sampling error could be plus or minus 4 percentage points for results based on the entire sample.

mccain has anger management issues (not the right temperment for control of nuclear weapons)

I agree, it seemed McCain was a bit more on point, more aggresive this time around. But then, I barely remember it because I was taking bong rips the whole time with my buddy, and then we said "Fuck the debate" at 10 because new South Park was on. Woo!

Hmmm... Looks like "Joe the Plumber" is getting more attention than he wished.

The guys story is falling apart.
Not that I really feel sorry for a plumber that makes a $ 250,000.00 a year when teachers make less than 1/4 that, but hey.... I'm just sayin'

I guess most people don't know how to read body language. As an avid poker player who makes a decent amount of money yearly on the game.. Obama appeared very frustrated throughout most of the debate.

I don't read body language well. What does it mean when Pokerface McCain's eyebrows shoot up, down, up, down, up, down in rapid succession, then he blink, blink, blink, blink, blinks, then his eyes dart left and right, he takes a huge breath and puffs out his cheeks, grimaces and laughs. What the hell does it mean? He has the wierdest facial contortions of anyone I have ever seen!

And what does this mean? Is this a poker tell of some kind?:
