    Go to CNN.com and they have it plastered across the top of the homepage and are showing poll results with live video.

    That plus the non-handshake are highly disrespectful. McCain did appear to lose his cool when obama started to hammer home on pakistan.

    I get disgusted when watching FOX News

    I was watching them for the VP Debate, and we can agree that it was close right? Maybe Biden winning by a small margin, right?

    Well they had a focus group of "undecided" voters, everyone but 2 or 3 of a group of, I have to say 20? said Biden got KILLED, while the undecided voters in Ohio that was on CNN was split, leaning one or two towards Biden.

    Their unscientific text vote is 86-12 for McCain.

    I did briefly flip to FOX when they were showing their focus group. First, they all loved the debate and weren't bored at all. :rolleyes: But then by a show of hands, a slight majority gave the debate to Obama.

    wow... :eek:

    I would think FOX News would have talked to them before they went on the air

    OMG I just saw Anderson Cooper take a shot at FOX News...

    Something to the affect "There's a shot of the spin zone, and unlike other networks, I'm not going there"

    I flipped between them, too. Fox's focus group may have been heavily on Palin's side, but not nearly as strong as NBC's expert panel. Everyone on NBC's panel thought Palin destroyed Biden. I thought she won, and I couldn't believe they watched the same debate as me.

    Did you catch the part when Fox said everybody thought McCain did better on the economy yet when they asked the group to raise their hands only about 30% raised their hands and the guy on Fox said "okay so about half"

    LOL Fox has Karl Rove on there now talking about how great McCain did. Yeah that should really add some credibility.

    No, I try to not watch FOX News for more than 30 seconds at a time. :D

    Actually, I think I flipped back to the Rockets game and I missed that.

    It was a draw, and the format was horrible. Both candidates had the following priorities in this order.

    McCain:
    1. Attack Obama
    2. Address their own stump speech talking points.
    3. Answer the question posed by audience member.

    Obama:
    1. Address their own stump speech talking points.
    2. Attack McCain
    3. Answer the question posed by the audience member.

    Each candidate had their point where they answered the question more so than their opponent and that's where they seemed to do best. Obama won on healthcare, and prioritizing the three issues Borkaw asked them to prioritize.

    McCain answered more directly about buying up mortgages. Whoever was more brief seemed to be the winner at that moment.

    Overall a draw with neither candidate doing anything spectacularly bad or spectacularly great.

    You're thinking of MSNBC. They're the most liberal network. The 3 major networks: ABC, NBC, CBS are pretty unbiased.
