Vote on who won the debate…Kossites are thronging the polls

RESIZE: AAA

Here’s a list of polls where RedStaters can vote on who won the debate. It seems that our lovely friends on the other side of the internet at DailyKos have sent their minions to swarm these polls. Perhaps we could do our share?

Vote at AOL

Vote at Drudge

Vote at Newsvine

Vote at MSNBC

Vote at Chicago Tribune

Vote at Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Vote at Michigan Live

Vote at Rocky Mountain News

Vote at Politico

(ed. note: These two were added later in the day…)

Vote at Instapundit

Vote at Fox News

There are surely others, perhaps most notably your local stations’ and papers’ news pages.

Don’t get creeped out as you see the handicraft of those who got a jump on us…

Also, I don’t want to poison RedState, but here’s the post on DailyKos. Slugs.

*FREEP LIST FOR TONIGHT’S DEBATE *

After every presidential debate news outlets all across America (and the world) post polls on their websites that ask “Who do you think won the debate?”

I’m posting this handy starter list of news sites that host these polls.

Your mission is twofold…

Add to this list with local and national news sites that have polls (swing states especially!)
At the end of the debate, visit as many of the sites listed here as you can and cast your vote for Barack Obama.
I hate to ask for recs, but it would be very helpful to keep this diary visible in order to collect more poll sites and to get maximum votes for Obama.

You know our opponents are doing the same thing to spin the debate in McCain’s favor. We’re just going to be a little more organized about it.

    Do Vote. Perception becomes reality. Don’t let the Kos Kids and the MSM spin McCains victory away. Let it settle in over the weekend and watch the polls in the middle of next week

      a lifelong Indie (no, really – a real one :D ), and the daughter of lifelong Indies (in their eighties and still going strong!) who started out leaning left and ended up leaning right, I can tell you that I’ve never voted for the candidate I thought would win, just the one I thought was best for the job. (They usually didn’t, but I still voted my conscience). It’s almost a point of pride with Indies – that you don’t let the way anyone else is voting influence your decision. So, in those terms, the truly still undecided (mostly likely Indies at this stage of the game) are also the ones who won’t care about the polls too much. Let the Kossie’s play poll hopping – it might keep them out of trouble! :D

    That’s why we have spin. Post-debate discussion might form national opinion even more than debate does. Hearing “experts” say who won this or that point, hearing a friend talk up the performance of one candidate overall…and to some degree, reading the results from silly online polls could reinforce–or contradict–real spin.

    I don’t think they will make or break a campaign on their own. However, I do think that those who will read a page casually and see McCain “lost in the public opinioin poll 89 to 9 with 2% undecided” will get at least a subconscious, unfair unfavorable for our candidate… And that’s even before reading the biased MSM story they’re about to find.

    We can’t affect the content of the “journalism” out there too easily.

    We can easily respond to polls.

    So that’s why I thought it was worth sharing.

      … the MSM including Foxnews has been citing these stupid polls all morning as proof that Obama held his own. McCain won. period. Spin has turned McCain’s win into a tie. Battle KosKids. don’t dismiss them. thank God for Drudge. The sample is too large too distort.

  • cincinattuscato

    Did Obama win that too?

      I added the Fox News online poll…good suggestion.

      The “big 3″ didn’t have online polls that were easy enough to find, and eventually, I just gave up on the hunt.

  • LAWizard

    But I don’t think it’s worth it. The liberals who live on the internet feel it’s their duty to influence all these online polls and such by voting in them. Let ‘em. Then sit back and watch them whine when their candidate loses even though he polled at 80% in the online survey.
