Slog - Comments on Washington State Poll: This Time Obama Wins http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/washington_state_voters_this_time_obama You may recall that after the first presidential debate, Survey USA released a poll of Washington State adults that found people here believing, by a small margin, that McCain was the winner. (The finding stood in stark contrast to most post-first-debate national polls, which found respondents, by considerable margins, believing that Obama had won.) After the second presidential debate tonight, Survey USA again polled Washington State adults, and this time found them in sync with the national polls. 54% say Obama was the clear winner. 29% say McCain was the clear winner. 18% say there was no clear winner.

It's still a long way until Nov. 4, but the Dems own the field right now, with nothing but power on the bench. That huge cheering crowd doesn't hurt, either.

I noticed at least three things McCain said that were *identical* to what he'd said in the first thing, the stupid "looked into Putin's eyes & saw three letters" thing was one of them. Except for a couple of the questions, it was pretty much darn the same.

McCain and Rossi's "deregulation" Republican pals".

I just want to point out that said move was first made famous by Curly Howard of the Three Stooges.

Know your history, people! Comedy did not begin with The Simpsons.
