1. Is this a phone poll or a a focus group

[MadBadger]

2. More of a focus group..They have 500 undecided voters who they get their info for right after.

3. I was talking to and IMing seven truly undecided people

during the debate. Three told me straight up they are now solidly on the Obama-Biden side. They had been leaning that way since last week's debate, but this did it.

One woman "sort of" liked Palin but wondered about the fact checking on her--felt she got a lot of stuff wrong. I think she did, too. So she may still go Obama.

The other three didn't say, but ALL were put off by Palin's obvious attempt to be cute. They all hated it.

6. Remember Obama won the focus groups at the first debate

and ultimately it proved to be an accurate barometer of the "real" polls later on!

Glad they aren't falling for the faux-folksy stuff. Palin was better than McCain, but not much better.
