Debate Post Mortem
This was one of the best debates so far. I think all the candidates did good. It could have gone without the fight between Clinton and Obama, but Edwards became the star out of that. He shined tonight and showed what we need in a President. One thing I have a problem with is this […]
This was one of the best debates so far. I think all the candidates did good. It could have gone without the fight between Clinton and Obama, but Edwards became the star out of that. He shined tonight and showed what we need in a President.
One thing I have a problem with is this from Bii Schneider on CNN:
John Edwards just referenced a CNN poll that showed him the most competitive against John McCain in a general election match up, and he also highlights that in an ad running here. But there’s a problem — that poll is a month-and-a-half old.
In the most recent CNN poll, Obama and Clinton both tie McCain. Edwards was not matched up in that poll. It’s fair for Edwards to bring up the poll, but it’s misleading to say he is the only competitive Democrat.
The problem with Bills analysis of Edwards claim lies right in his reasoning – Edwards wasn’t included in their last poll. Perhaps the media should start including all the candidates more instead of the ones they want.
