Should We Be Surprised The Polls Say Obama Won The Debate?
See here. The polls say Obama won the debate. Are you surprised? Well you shouldn’t be.
Can someone tell me the last time any poll indicated that a Republican Presidential Candidate won a debate? Reagan vs. Carter? And yet the Republican nominee has won 7 of the last 9 presidential elections.
In fact, other than that debate– highlighted with Reagan’s legendary “there you go again…,” a parry steeped with the perfect balance of pity and disdain– I cannot recall a single time in my lifetime that polls revealed that a Republican won a debate.
An ice cream to anyone who can tell me if it has ever happened any other time in the in the history of Presidential polling.
Disclosure: I am a neo-conservative who is fed up with McCain and never liked Obama to begin with.
