    What all these polls show is that Obama won the debate hands down among the group that supposedly counted - leaners and undecideds.

    Glad to hear it. I guess that makes me a maverick. ;)

    Oh, I wouldn't be so generous

    Depends what's being measured. I guess I'm judging it on how swing voters might react, rather than on outright performance. In that sense, I'm thinking that some of the Repubs who might've been beginning to see McCain as a doddery, blundering, opportunist, could well have been somewhat reassured by his not-disastrous performance.

    when are TVNZ and Three going to grow a pair and call bullshit on this:[?]

    Absolutely. Can't quite understand why the networks have not just said "Hey, we're just going to do it the old, fair way. If you want to show up, you're welcome; if not, it's your loss."?

    Apologies for the bum tip (it would've helped if TriTV had had any info on their schedule or website about it). If it's any consolation, the debate was far from unmissable. McCain performed surprisingly well, considering. I'll give him a points decision.

    It is, Giovanni, but I got my info wrong. It's tonight.

    Sky had it live on CNN at 1.30 or thereabouts.

    Should've read "Note to poor Aucklanders". :)

    BTW, I still think the main reason McCain even got the nomination is that enough Repubs subconsciously think they're voting for this guy.

    Palin is either dumb as a bag of nails, or she's got to memorise a hell of a lot more flash cards to get through an interview without recycling.

    Moreover, where's the campaign's brains trust at?

    Palin gave the same idiotic answer initially last week, and yet they sent her into the white-hot crucible of a Katie Couric interview without even fixing it. Bizarre.

    Note for Aucklanders:

    Has anyone got a date for when Peter Dunne’s traditional surge in the polls is going to happen?

    Look, that will happen in due time; it's just common sense.

    I really can't understand how ACT will be gone. Anderton & Dunne always get in, and for the same reason, so will Hide.
