HEY, WHEN 90 PERCENT SAY EDWARDS WON, CAN WE IGNORE THE ONLINE POLLS?
Kerry Spot [10/05 11:25 PM]
The online polls, I understand, are being effectively overspammed by DNC spam orcs. Kerry Spot readers looks as if some fairly sophisticated bots have been set up to take control of the post-debate online polls. Pro-Edwards numbers jumping by tens of thousands in seconds, that kind of thing.
These online polls are silly, and these results prove it.
PS: If you're new to Kerry Spot, here are two of my debate assessments that I'm pleased with, and people seem to like:
This was the single most devastating one-sided drubbing since Lloyd Bentsen smacked Dan Quayle all around the stage in 1988.
If I ever need to sue somebody, I’ll call John Edwards.
If I ever need somebody killed - like, you know, terrorists trying to kill my family - I’ll call Dick Cheney.
Cheney is hitting a very soft pinata, defending doctors and attacking lawyers on medical malpractice.
UPDATE: The Bush campaign must be happy - they have a bunch of quotes to distribute to reporters:
ABC News' Poll Shows 43 percent think Vice President Cheney won debate, only 35 percent think Edwards won. (ABC's "Special Coverage," 10/5/04)
(sorry for the excessive capitalization, folks)
NBC's Tom Brokaw: "Dick Cheney Reminded Me Of George Foreman, Kind Of A Slow Gait, But A Powerful Right-Hand When He Unleashed It In A Number Of Areas As He Went After The Kerry-Edwards Ticket." (NBC's "Special Coverage," 10/5/04)
MSNBC's Ron Reagan: "This Time, I Think The Chattering Classes, And I Include All Of Us Among Them, Will Come Out On The Side Of There Was A Stature Gap There, And It Was To Cheney's Advantage." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 10/5/04)
MSNBC's Chris Matthews Calls The Debate Between Vice President Cheney The "Howitzer" And Senator John Edwards The "Water Pistol." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 10/05/04)
MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell: "I Think Dick Cheney Did Awfully Well, At, First Of All, Putting John Edwards In His Place. Saying That I Have Been Presiding Over The Senate, And I Didn't Meet You Until Tonight. Talking About His Not Having Been On The Job Was Pretty Devastating." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 10/5/04)
MSNBC's Joe Scarborough: "I Tell You, Tonight, No Doubt About It, Edwards Got Obliterated By Dick Cheney. This Is The Most Surprising Part. This Debate Actually Turned In Cheney's Direction When They Started Talking About Domestic Issues. I Thought Cheney Handled The Foreign Policy Issues Very Well." (MSNBC's "Hardball," 10/5/04)
