Although I didn’t exactly spill my popcorn I found myself repeating over and over again “Finally” or “It’s about time.” McCain won the debate pure and simple. He won the first one, lost the second one because they made a fool out of him by implying it was a “town hall debate” when it was nothing of the sort and Brokaw chose the questions and agenda. I remain optimistic because with the economy in the toilet, in the year of changing the guard after 8 years of a Republican, in a year where anything that can go wrong, did go wrong as far as the current events, Obama has still not closed the deal. I don’t care what anyone says… Sarah Palin will cause more people to vote for the ticket than will be admitted to any pollster. The same applies to telling a pollster you’re voting for McCain and having to explain it or telling him or her you’re voting for Obama or you’re undecided. Does anyone out there in cyberspace actually believe there are that many undecideds? The logical conclusion is that they are voting for McCain but are withholding that information for many reasons. Also I looked at the past presidential election polling and every single one of them was 6 to 9 points off and in every instance it either favored the democrat or reduced the actual vote for the Republican candidate.
