Last we gathered at a volunteer friends home with about 50 others and around Colorado and around the nation many other Obama volunteers collected to watch The Ole Miss Debate, (except for my former Republican Reptile who says he doesn't watch them---curious), and it is apparent that our "Team had a Good Night", said a smiling Joe Biden to Keith Obermann after the event. Interestingly so did P.J. O'Rourke the author of the book, "Republican Party Reptile" on this morning's talk shows. As did Pat Buchanan last night who said that McCain's performance was that of an "Angry White Man"These reactions were confirmed by the reaction polls last night:
- UPDATED WITH FINAL NUMBERS CBS News and Knowledge Networks conducted a nationally representative poll of approximately 500 uncommitted voters reacting to the debate in the minutes after it happened. 39% of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack Obama was the winner. 24%r percent thought John McCain won. 37% percent saw it as a draw. 46% of uncommitted voters said their opinion of Obama got better tonight. 32% percent said their opinion of McCain got better.
- Insider Advantage reports those polled Obama won 42% to McCain's 41% with Undecided 17%
- CNN reports voter opinions that Obama "did better" 51%, McCain "did better" 38%
- The CNN poll showed men were evenly split, but women gave Obama higher marks 59% to 41% for McCain.
- The MSNBC on-line poll showed Obama winning the debate 52% to 33%.
out and lead a volunteer effort today but what I found ironic to the whol
e bit was the idea that McCain had spent money on developing a Web ad that he had won with pre-loaded quotes from his campaign manager Rick Davis how good he did. WTF?Kind of reminds me of the infamous headline in my old favoirte morning paper; The Chicago Tribune; Dewey Beats Truman!
