46% of Wolf Blitzer's viewers found Bush "unconvincing" last night

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/wolf.blitzer.reports/

Did President Bush give a convincing performance at Tuesday's news conference?

Yes: 32% (104624 votes)

No: 46% (150754 votes)

Didn't watch: 21% (68911 votes)

Total: 324289 votes

Bad news for a show with the well-deserved reputation of sucking Dubya's tail pipe. Less than 1/3 of his audience stepped up for the chimpster.

3. I'd add the 21% to the 46% No.

If you were a Bush supporter you would have watched it.

4. That was my first thought, too, but...

...I hate to kick a chimp when he's down.

5. "performance"--that says it all

Bush is just a performer, not a real President.

6. Misleading

I'm not sure why someone who didn't bother to watch would be willing to cast a vote saying they didn't watch.

The real figures here are that of the 255,378 people who actually watched and then voted
59% did NOT feel he was convincing
41% felt he was convinving

7. Those 32% would sacrifice their only child for the moron

something they just might be called on to do if they get their way in November.

How the hell did these maniacs seize power in my country? Oh yeah...

Hey lurking freepers and icu drones, what's that sound? That's the sound of America waking up and getting ready, babies. We're coming, you're going, and you're little, murderous boy is on his way out.

10. Are these signs the thing was a total flop? Must be cause Condi was

almost in tears. Her face was like those people who got drawn and quartered, not very happy fer shure.

However, me thinks it was mission accomplished. It was a diversion from the guilt of not warning America to the existing threat.

8. 32% ALWAYS think chimp

did just fine. I guess they are the true believers, chimp could murder someone in front of them and he would still be a terrific moral person. :puke:

12. They're servicing their customers, that's all

Who underwrites CNN's broadcast? ADM, AT&T, pharmaceutical companies, GM, GE, et al

The audience doesn't matter, viewer-hours are just a generic product that CNN sells to its advertisers.
