"Okay...let's see more Democrats and only 51 percent think Obama did better? So if we balance those views out even among Democrats...McCain is considered the winner of the debate." - ROTFLMAO, CAUGHT…

Here is what Tech quoted from the article:

Fifty-one percent of those polled thought Obama did the best job in Friday night's debate


He only quoted HALF the sentence, The ENTIRE sentence reads:

Fifty-one percent of those polled thought Obama did the better job in Friday night's debate, while 38 percent said John McCain did better.

%13 difference there techie... it doesn't sound so good when you quote the entire sentence, does it?

We have come to expect pathetic dishonesty from you, but that is just too blatant.... It says a lot about your desperation....

At this time MSNBC online poll has %52 claiming Obama won, only %34 claim McCain won...

A more rigorous poll of undecided voters by CBS paints a different picture:
(CBS) The first presidential debate helped uncommitted voters learn about the candidates - and it appears that Democrat Barack Obama benefited the most, according to a CBS News/Knowledge Networks poll taken immediately following the debate.

Uncommitted voters said Obama won the debate against Republican John McCain, and more of those voters improved their opinion of the Democrat. But while 66 percent think Obama would make the right decisions about the economy, 56 percent think McCain would do so about Iraq.

Immediately after the debate, CBS News interviewed a nationally representative sample of nearly 500 debate watchers assembled by Knowledge Networks who were "uncommitted voters" - voters who are either undecided about who to vote for or who say they could still change their minds. Thirty-nine percent of these uncommitted debate watchers said Obama won the debate. Twenty-four percent said McCain won, and another 37 percent thought it was a tie.

Nearly half of those uncommitted voters who watched the debate said that their image of Obama changed for the better as a result. Just eight percent say their opinion of Obama got worse, and 46 percent reported no change in their opinions.

McCain saw less improvement in his image. Thirty-two percent have improved their image of McCain as a result of the debate, but 21 percent said their views of him are now worse than before.
