I hope we're not making a mistake with this. The spinners afterwards are relying on these stupid polls to decide what to say to the camera. They don't want to be wrong. I think Bush only "lost" the first debate, but when they look over at their computer screens and see 70% for kerry they think they better run with it. Bush won this hands down, I can tell chris matthews knows it but can't bring himself to say it. Their poll is keeping them too cautious.
I appreciate you concern. However, there can only be a few that will make their decision based on this debate. Kerry needs most of them. I can't believe he won over enough.
Also consider, it is in the networks best interest for the contest to appear close, down to the wire.
Unless we all have a program (bot) we are outnumbered no matter what, most of those polls let you vote once, after that they recognize you & you can't vote more than once. The DUmmies use programs that are able to auto vote. Our votes wouldn't make much of a difference when the RATS are cheating.
What frustrates me is that so many Americans rely on the MSM. Many of these that do don't care to watch any of the debates. They figure they'll catch what they need to know on the news. These same people are the ones that are likely to make their descision based on whimsical things like, algore's 2000 kiss, and media tauting. The Bush campaign knows this. That's why they publicized things like Kerry's orange face. To us it was funny. Unfortunately to many, it influenced their vote. People want to say that they voted for the winner. If the media promotes these ridiculously bogus polls, these are the folks who will buy it and think, "Oh, Kerry must have done real good. I'll vote for him."
One good thing. Kerry's comment about Cheney's daughter seems to be gaining some traction, and in a negative light (as it should). A lot of liberals are scrabbling to justify the comment on the news right now. I bet we don't hear that one again from Kerry. Anyhow, if this gets enough momentum, people will begin to think, "That John Kerry is mean. I'm voting for Bush." Sounds silly! It may be trivial, but it could be just the thing to seal the election.
