Ah, snap polls. Here is how they work: A news-gathering organization rounds up a bunch of plumbers, all named Joe, and puts them in a lockbox where they are forced to look at two people arguing for 90 minutes. At the end of this torture session, people ask themselves, “Who blinked less? I’ll go with that guy,” and voila, you have your snap poll telling you Barack Obama won again.
Here we go:
CBS undecideds: Obama 53, McCain 22
CNN viewers: Obama 58, McCain 31
CNN independents: Obama 57, McCain 31
MediaCurves independents: Obama 60, McCain 30
SurveyUSA Californians: Obama 56, McCain 28
Thank you to the late-night gerbils at TPM Election Central and FiveThirtyEight.com for compiling all this boring bullshit.

But, the funny plus/minus pie charts controlled by heavy-handed loser pundits on CNN said McCain won! Is CNN in the tank?
…McCain has him right where he wants him! Standing over him with a boot to his throat…
Rejoice, Joe Plummer, for you have a very long pipe!
McCain = Sux?
Joe the
pauperplumber is full of shit.Hengh henh henh… wha? No, my friends, I know how to win a debate, I know how to fix it, and I’ll tell you once I’m elected. Henh. Wha? Game wha? Ovah? Whatdoesthateven MEAN? Isn’t “ovah” part of a woman’s “body”? I learned that when I was tied up by the gooks for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!
Game wha?
But Grampy did astonishingly well with the eye rolling, Gene Simmons, wannabee demographic.
And Drudge readers have it at McCain 72%, Obama 21%. But that might be a statistical outlier.
kan i haz white house drapery measurements now?
[re=137130]Mighty Rex[/re]: It’s kind of funny that nobody has ever sufficiently given a shit to ask the obvious follow-up question: Uh, how do you win a war and catch bin Laden?
Drudge readers can read?
[re=137134]SayItWithWookies[/re]: same thing for all 4 debates. How does Drudge explain this constant statistical outlier?????
As to a way listening ship:
And I know. I know from. Experience that.
If Senator Obama had asked — responded to my urgent sit down…we could have done at least ten of them,”Any place, any time,” — the way of Barry Goldwater and Jack Kennedy, before the intervention at Dallas.
So I think very different tones…many turns I think. It’s gotten pretty aspects. One of them happened just the other day.
When a man…
…I’ve written about…
…when a man made allegations that Sarah Palin and I were somehow associated with the Chapter…that, to me, was so hurtful…
And, Senator Obama: you didn’t repudiate those remarks.
So I want to tell you: we will run.
This tough money campaign. And I can prove it. And, Senator Obama, when he said — and he signed a piece of financing “Long Shot”…now we have the highest campaign since Watergate…but — as Senator Clinton said in her debates with you, “Need-to-know.”
[re=137144]Nathalie08[/re]: Drudge is tuned in to the silent majority. The very silent majority.
[re=137144]Nathalie08[/re]: It’s the “Drudge is a Douche” factor
Maybe that poll was supposed to be the Drudge reader’s perception of the candidates’ respective ages as seen during the debates. They accurately put McCain at 72, however, Obama appears to be becoming increasingly youthful with each debate, and so he is pegged as 21.
[re=137128]Serolf Divad[/re]: Now he’s officially Joe the Plumper. As in: fat, naked, porno-lady.
[re=137144]Nathalie08[/re]: Easy. You just drop the ‘out’ part and replace ‘e’ with ‘a’.
Speaking of White House draperies, here’s a frigging nightmare scenario that just came online in the last 24 hours.
It’s a hoot: PalinasPresident.com
McCain’s trend line looks like a Dow Jones stock market chart. Is this an accident?
Cockamamie!!!
[re=137128]Serolf Divad[/re]: Joe’s error in logic is that, as in independent contractor his income is based on his own hard work, but as a small business owner his income would be, in part, produced by the work of his employees and subject to the available cash of his customers.
Joe thinks he’s entitled to tax relief ahead of his future employees and customers.
Joe – any successful small local business person will tell you that their success comes from the strength of their employees and the success of their community. You should be happy that 95% of them would have more money. Their success will be your success. It’s just good business.
[re=137128]Serolf Divad[/re]:
Joe’s the plumber’s also a flat taxer dumbass.
Why isn’t Faux screaming about McCain’s lack of a Flag Pin!! Did no one notice that he has obviously rejected America by failing to Pin Up? Why does McCain want to be Canadian? Wasn’t the first several years of this campaign season all about the pin? What gives?
[re=137168]WIDTAP[/re]: Goddam commie. Whydoncha go back to Russia–er–Venezuela?
And BTW Joe (poor Joe), if it looks like you’re going to have to pay 39% taxes on the extra $30,000 in profit over $250,000, you might want to consider (gasp) just giving your employees a bonus, so that they can put food on their tables. Some responsible small business owners see that not only as a good tax planning decision, but also a nice thing to do for the people who help you make your money.
Wasn’t Joe the Plumber a minor character in Good Fellas? Near the end of the film he was found with a No. 9 pipe coupling stuffed into an important orifice.
The above bit of trivia aside, it is reported that Mr. The Plumber is “thinking” (in the same way I “thinking” of dating the voluptous Miss Angelina Jolie)of buying a plumbing business with annual gross revenues of $250,000 – $350,000.
Unless you’ve been withholding child support payments for the last 10 years, pray tell me, Mr. The Plumber, where in these happy times do expect to find the credit to do that?
[re=137128]Serolf Divad[/re]: Given Joe’s line of work (what with clearing shit out of pipes and what not), it only seems natural that he should be full of it too. QED.
Please let’s not start yawning yet; yawns should start about Nov. 7, once it seems likely that no major vote stealing is going down. Barack’s supporters have a much worse track record than McCain’t's regarding showing up at the polling place. Yawns are contagious and favor McCain’t. The GOP is praying for yawns.
I still think the most relevant question is what Obama will do to fix Joe’s plumber’s crack. Cause that shit is disgusting.
Hey DOODZ the Weekly Standard arbitrarily and inappropriately stated that WALNUTS won!

WHOO HOO HALF BREED MOOSLIM GONNA LUUZ!
[re=137131]Cape Clod[/re]: But Grampy did astonishingly well with the eye rolling, Gene Simmons, wannabee demographic.
Or Richard Simmons, for that matter…
[re=137209]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Yes, but it wasn’t a “game-changer”. Don’t you see. McCain needs to change the game. How about Boggle? Maybe Battleship? Sorry? Hungry Hungry Hippo?
I will say, these conservatives douchetwats are working their computers to the bone sending out signals that McCain won. They try sooooo hard.
Fail.
Joe the Plumber confirms my deep seated suspicions there was something unlikeable about Mr Clean

[re=137182]S.Luggo[/re]:
You can check the math for me, but according to my calculations, with a business “booming” to the tune of $250K in gross revenue, less expenses, Joe’s income tax bill is going to be $1.32, plus or minus a nickle.
[re=137209]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Stephen Hayes is yet another rightwing douchebag with a goatee. He was already celebrating gramp’s win before the debate on CNN.
Its almost as if no matter what McCain says, whether in an angry, creepy, fidgety, or bug eyed manner, people just don’t care. Maybe he should have tried angry and bug eyed together, I don’t know I’m so campaignologist. It seems people just want the election to be over so they can erase McCain’s campaign from their memories and embrace the impending Islamic theocracy.

Obama won because he wore a flag pin, while the unamerican, wal-mart-hating McCain didn’t.
I still can’t believe that, in response to Obama bringing up that some of McCain’s supporters shout death threats, McCain went ahead and expressed his pride in the people at his rallies. PRIDE?!?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?! He chose THAT moment to talk about how GREAT his supporters were? Between that and the gratuitous “Dallas” reference, I’ll be having my sleep interrupted by conspiracy terrors.
Awww.. cute Joe the Plumber. He thinks he’s gonna be rich.
At last, a nice boring election season where the good guy has it practically wrapped up. It’s about time. Our country is more important than CNN’s ratings.
