In the words of Amy Poehler's Katie Couric, "again, and not to belabor the point," but in regard to the Drudge Report's erratic -- even by neoconservative standards -- coverage of the final campaign push, exactly what, may I ask, is the purpose of conducting a poll on "Who won the final presidential debate before that final presidential debate is ended?
I knew early voting would be factor this year -- I guess I just didn't realize it would come to this.
The results, however, are not surprising. According to Drudge's Mid-Debate Post-Debate Winner's Poll, John McCain is the overwhelming winner of tonight's still-running presidential debate. As of 10:22 EST, the Republican wins handily, 75 percent to 23 percent.
McCain wins the debate before the debate is over? Wow, that is mavericky.

Just checked it out for the first time.
What an lame piece of donkey feces. I wonder if Matt D "programs'" it all by himself.
i wonder if he's ever heard of the concept of web naviagation vs. one continuous page of links.
My 6th grader created a web site that blows the Drudge stie away!!!

Matt Drudge has betrayed his public and will lose audience.
What McCain should have done, if he wanted to keep his sinking boat afloat, is to stand with Palin and tell his rabid supporters that HE is in charge of his campaign and that HE WILL NOT STAND FOR THE KIND OF RACE BAITING AND HATE MONGERING that has been growing within their ranks. He has had several chances--most notably during last night's debate--to reset the tone of his campaign.
Instead he goes out this morning and strokes the egos of those supporters who have been spewing hateful rhetoric. Says a lot about both McCain and Palin. Not fit to serve. Not fit to lead. Sewer rats.
One of the most pathetic moments in last night's debate was when the little rat talked about his hurt feeling at what John Lewis said. He started his bellyaching by stating that Lewis is an American hero.
Reall? Then why is an American hero comparing your hate and fear mongering to those of Wallace? Is Lewis a hero or not? If he IS, then why isn't McCain apologizing to HIM?
Obama handles that well, although it would have been nice if he'd added, "John, if you have a problem with a genuine American hero criticizing you, why are you bringing it up to ME during a debate where the American people are anxious to hear about the issues that affect their lives? I could give you a list a mile long of offensive remarks your supporters have leveled at me, but I can take it on the chin, and I don't need YOU to stick up for me "... etc.
Sewer rats indeed.
1) One who is obligated to do menial work
2) One whose work is routine and BORING
3) HACK
Who cares what DRUDGE thinks. If their opinion had any weight, it would be McCain and Palin who would be way ahead in the polls and gaining votes in swing states.
I rest my case.
Landslide for Obama/Biden.
