Take a look at their focus group results. They surveyed a group of all undecided, most leaning McCain, voters in Denver, Colorado. They watched the debate last night, and here are the results:
Who won the debate?
Obama 50%
McCain 24%
Tie 26%
Who has your vote now?
Obama 42%
McCain 20%
Still Undecided 38%
Whoa! If this turns out to be true, then we're in good shape out West. The "morning after media consensus" looks to be that Obama won last night, so he and Biden are 4-0 with the debates & nothing happened to undo the momentum on our side. Let's just keep up the good work & I know we can wrap this up & win! :-)

And last but not least...
The MSNBC Focus Group of undecided voters declares Obama the winner of the debate by a 20-7 margin. Why? Obama talked about real economic & health care solutions while McCain whined about debunked Ayers/ACORN/"big government socialist radical" BS.
You know what? I've said this before, and I'll say it again. Obama represents the future while McCain obsesses over the past. Obama sounded like our next President while McCain sounded like someone addressing a Republican Party fundraiser in 1988.
Barring some wild & crazy event that changes everything we thought we knew, this campaign is coming to an end. What we MUST do now is make our Democratic victory as large as possible. Win as many House & Senate seats as possible. Turn as many red states blue for Obama now as possible to set the foundation for Democrats in future Presidential Elections to come.
This debate may very well have set our fate for 2008... So let's take advantage of it! :-)

Got Pre-debate Jitters?
I do, too. Still, we need not worry. Obama has proven to us how he can handle McCrazy.

Pre-debate Chat
Are you nervous about tonight's debate? Honestly I am, too. But hey, let's not worry too much.
Why not?
Let's see... Joe Biden is a good debater. Joe Biden knows his foreign policy. Joe Biden can actually name multiple Supreme Court cases. Oh yes, and Joe Biden has real-life, real-world experience in making laws that help people.
And what does Sarah Palin have? Well crafted "zingers"? Lowered expectations? Interesting stories of hunting moose?
Yes, I know some in the "Netroots" are making a mistake by trying to set the bar so low tonight that Sarah Palin can just walk over it. Personally, I'd like for it to be just low enough that she bumps into it. But hey, I guess I'm just that way! ;-)
So really, what are your expectations for tonight's debate? Is Sarah Palin scaring you? Is Joe Biden reassuring you? Or would you just rather forget it all and veg out to "Grey's Anatomy" tonight?
Consider this a pre-debate open thread. Chat away now. Then, let's all watch the debate later. Just call me when you want me to start the popcorn. :-D

"In the Tank"
OK, so right-wing radio is whining about Gwen Ifill moderating tomorrow's VP Debate. So does that give us the right to whine about Tom Brokaw moderating the following debate? Wow, now I get what Phil Gramm meant when he called us "a nation of whiners"... Or did he mean to say that about his own GOP? ;-)

ABC-WaPo Sez: Obama Jumps Ahead!
Wow! The Washington Post & ABC have some shocking new poll numbers out. Are you sitting down? You should be!
Obama (D) 52%
McCain (R) 43%
Now how can this be? Simple, really. It's the economy, stupid!
Obama has a 2-1 lead with "economy voters". Overall, most voters see the reality of the faltering economy. And once again, this is what's moving people to Obama's message of change.
Still, that's not the only good news for Democrats. Obama has also gained ground on foreign affairs and the Iraq Occupation. This really calls into question the media's assertion that McCain is "strong on foreign policy". Perhaps the "Pain in Spain for McCain" disaster is now hitting home, and/or voters are waking up to the reality that his stance on Iraq is no different from Bush's.
This may make for an interesting debate on Friday. If Obama proves his foreign policy bona fides while also keeping the economy front and center at the debate, perhaps the convential wisdom on "The Great McDebater" will have to be thrown out the window. ;-)
