Very interesting audience tracking of last night's debates...

It's from WMUR Channel 9 in Manchester NH. They had two focus groups comprised of Democrats and "independents" and the same for the Republicans. Check it out. Edwards got high marks when he talked about the economy and troop withdrawal. Obama scored on affordable health insurance.

4. You're welcome. I was just looking at the Repug side...

and it looks like Romney got the highest marks defending his "family values". Saint McCain also scored big on "values". *sigh* With all that's going on in the world and in this corrupt government, Repugs are still mainly worried that women will get abortions and gays don't get married.

5. It was Romnet on war

Mitt Romney's comments saying it is time to move to a second phase in the Iraq war scored the first positive response of the debate from the focus group.

Do you recall what he said about that? It isn't playing on my computer and I can't find the transcript. What is the 2nd phase to him?

6. He was complimenting B*** on his handling of the war...

started going up when he mentioned that Shrub didn't have a "bunker mentality". The Repugs ate it up but it got a much smaller rise from the independents. The "second phase" thing was adding to the military and helping Muslim countries reject the extremists. *YAWN*

Richardson really scored when he said to save the negativity for the Republicans.

graphs show clearly that Clinton is not crossing over to indies very well.
