It's amazing! We have a poll (CBS) that has Biden spanking Ryan 50-31 but...

all we're obsessed about that lousy CNN poll which has Ryan up 48-44. The CBS poll isn't even on the front page anymore and yet there are 3 or 4 posts about CNN.

We all know Biden won decisively, so the CBS poll isn't a surprise. The CNN poll is so bizarre in its result.

where they were down and out due to the president's poor debate--they (especially Tweety and Ed) are lively and calling it hard for Biden. Rachel, too. The only one who thought it was more of a draw is the token republican, Steve Schmidt.

and according to him he said that the Democrats in the spin room were all energized and excited about the debate while Republicans spent most the time criticizing Biden laughing. Just goes to show how bad Ryan actually did.
