The National media (The so-called liberal media) has skewed the vice-presidential debate between Cheney and Edwards in favor of the Republicans. Edwards' excellent preformance was totally "ignored" by mainstream and conservative media. Check it out below.

Maybe, but it was not ignored by those who watched. Those that were polled showed it to be a good 50/50. Proof that not everyone (or even most ) pay that much attention to the media spin that comes from both sides.

Hopefully we are all intelligent enough to listen for ourselves and judge accordingly....

Ray,

Kerry won the second debate and as the latest polls indicate, the majority of voters feel the sameway. It is still yet to be determined if this will translate into a win for Kerry on November 2nd. Check out the USA Today/CNN/Gallup Poll that shows Kerry with a decided advantage.

Here's a quote from today's issue of USA Today:

...Voters judge Kerry the winner of the first two debates. By more than 2-1, 57 percent to 25 percent, those surveyed say the Massachusetts senator did a better job in the first debate, focused on national security and foreign policy. By 45 percent to 30 percent, they also say he did better in the town hall debate Friday. That has raised expectations for him on Wednesday. By 54 percent to 36 percent, he's expected to best Bush in Arizona...

Ray,

You might find this interesting from MMFA. Conservatives who are unhappy with polling results deal with it, their own way.

On air, MSNBC's Scarborough crumpled and threw away CBS poll showing Edwards won debate
