Uncommitteds Tab Edwards Winner--CBS
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/05/opinion/polls/main647648.shtml

snip-
(CBS) John Edwards continued the Democratic ticket’s winning streak in Tuesday night's vice presidential debate. He was judged the winner – at least among uncommitted voters who watched the debate, just as John Kerry was last week.

Immediately after the debate, CBS News interviewed a nationally representative sample of 178 debate watchers assembled by Knowledge Networks who were "uncommitted voters" – voters who are either undecided about who to vote for or who have a preference but say they could still change their minds.

snip-
Forty-one percent of these uncommitted debate watchers said Edwards won the debate tonight. Twenty-eight percent said Cheney won. Thirty-one percent thought it was a tie.

snip-
Edwards also greatly improved opinions of him among these voters, and Cheney also made some gains. Nearly half of these uncommitted voters said their opinion of Edwards has changed for the better as a result of the debate. Just 14 percent said they have a lower opinion of Edwards after tonight, and 37 percent didn’t change their views of Edwards.

2. And that, my friends
...is the best news of all!

Who cares who "won" the debate in the rightward skewed insty-polls? Independents and undecideds are exactly who need to get acquainted with our candidates, and they are impressed!

Ahhhhh...another day to bask in the warm glow of success!
