UTICA, New York - A majority of likely voters nationwide think Democrat Barack Obama is more intelligent than Republican John McCain, and a plurality believes Obama will come out on top in Friday's first debate of the 2008 general election season, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

More than four out of 10 voters - 42% - said they think Obama will win the debate Friday, compared to 31% who said they think McCain will come out ahead on points. Another 27% said they are unsure who might win.

Absolutely, TV is SO slanted left, so consistently, that if that’s where they get their “news” some viewers can be geniuses and still not get the true picture.

Boob tube idiots would not know the difference between intelligent debating and mastur... That is the level of their understanding. These people never read anything beyond supermarket tabloids and media gossip posing as news. No surprise they think Barak Obama a superior intellect, since most of them have none at all.

Mac said I’m suspending my campaign to go back and deal with this financial crisis. He did this because he had the instinct to do this... Is he smarter? Don...know...but he thinks of what’s best for America not him... Obama may be smarter... to some people... But I doubt it....

I think he should send his V.P. nominee in his place. She can take on Obambi with half her brain tied behind her back.

Obama won't publish his grades at Columbia and Harvard. I haven't seen SAT or GRE scores either. What is the origin of the claim that Obama is smarter? He can't even form complete sentences without the use of a teleprompter.

“What is the origin of the claim that Obama is smarter?”

They claim that Democrats are always smarter than Republicans. There are countless idiotorials, tracts, and professors who make this claim.

I know many very educated people who don’t have a clue what’s going on in this election. They watch the local news and then the alphabet national news and that’s all they know. My brother is one of them.

I can advise him how to vote but the millions of others will stumble into the voting booth and decide America’s future.

I expect Hussein to be in his best oratorical mode.He will have a teleprompter. It will not be shown or spoken of. That will be in the rules of the debate. All the leaks to the contrary will be generally accepted as lies and rumors. The MSM will universally praise O’Bama for his performance-without-teleprompter, even the outfit that provides the teleprompter.

One big problem with Senator Obama is that while he sounds good, behind that veneer is woeful inexperience, and voters don't want an overly slick-marketed candidate like that! People forget that when President Kennedy was elected in 1960 he already had 13 years of experience in Congress, not two like Senator Obama is now.

Americans are so dumb that we have to be actually told to press the number “1” if we want to conduct telephonic business in English.

If obama is so fricken smart why haven’t his transcripts for his Bachelors degree and Harvard been released?

Obama thinks he is smarter than McCain, and Democrats are foolish enough to believe in him. I hope Republicans and conservatives are wiser. The smarter than thou game is something the left plays to add weight to their sack of crap. Gore, as we know, is an intellectual dork, the prophet of global warming, climate change and a dimwit full of contrived science, a scam artist, but liberals thought he was the smartest man to ever run for president. Kerry is a pathological liar, a fraud, a man of mediocre intelligence, and he was a genius, nuanced, a man for the world. Even Carter was put on the pedestal of wisdom until people got a load of how stupid his policies were. Now, we have Obama, the PC hero Hollywood has prepared us for, a real, world class IQ, and I bet he won’t hold a candle to lowly McCain in the debates, and certainly not in real life, where real intelligence matters, as Reagan proved. He was dumb enough to pick an idiot like Biden as his running mate. How smart can he be? We’ve all met a few Obamas, the guys who ought not be where they are because they don’t have the mental abilities required for the job, and all the brouhaha from the left won’t help him.

i’m taking a college class in investing.

i thought the instructor intelligent because he has a m.a. in economics.

but last week he went on a rant saying that carter was our most intelligent president,

clinton very intelligent,

implied that reagan was not intelligent, but hired good help,

and finally bashed bush’s intelligence.

unbelievable. a public college.
