Didn't see it, but apparantely Fox focus group said Obama and Edwards won the debate.
Only 2 out of 29 voters supported Hillary.

They all raised their hands when asked if they thought the "cocaine use" story on Obama was dirty.

The winner of this debate should have an asterisk by their name.

4. Kucinich was unfairly excluded... and he's often VERY popular
in debates.

13. Well, I saw the debate, and based on what I saw... well, you know.
Turns out I was right - see post 5.

5. I saw it, they did
Although the reason they gave for Edwards was his authenticity - about lines he's been using since 2003, like beating the big corporates all his life. Weird reasoning, but there it is.

9. Even Fox Probably Did This Right:
And put some MSNBC viewers in their focus group.

10. Perhaps you should read the OP. FOX focus group--not FOX viewers.
And for the record, FOX viewers hate Barack and John just as much.

16. No. Unless they choose Bush Republicans, I don't see your point.
Just because it's a FOX focus group, doesn't make it any more or any less of a talking point.

17. Go ahead and trust FOX News if you want.
After all, they're "Fair and Balanced"

8. Wait a Minute:
I thought Hillary's campaign poll tested everything they did...oops, they forgot that polls can't always account for the debate that will unfold.

14. Why not, if Obama is touted as the winner he might get the nomination
and the republicans would win the presidency hands down.

15. CNN Is Spinning It For Hillary...Fox Is Spinning It For Obama
Edited on Thu Dec-13-07 04:04 PM by DemocratSinceBirth
They are counterprogramming one another...I have a sincere question...

Regardless of how you feel, which station do you think will be more sympathetic to the Democrats in November?

20. MSNBC
While they should defently be critized for pushing backa iring the debate because of the steroid report MSNBC on a whole Is the best Cable Network.Bill O'reilly spends a lot bashing NBC(I only know this because of Keith Olberman) and they don't just put Clinton people as repersente of the
Democratic Party(CNN always has Clinton People on) and how can anyone not think the network of
Keith Olberman Is the best for us.
