ABC News Snap Poll: Cheney Won the Debate

ABC News ^ | 10/5

[ambrose]

ABC News poll of 500 voters

Winner

Cheney 43 percent

Edwards 35 percent

Tie 19 percent

[ambrose]

This is a good number. The ABC Snap Poll after the Bush-Kerry debate had Kerry winning with 45%, Bush 36% - and we know how that turned out...

[rb22982]

Any other insta polls out yet that anyone has heard?

[AmericanMade1776]

Cheney made Burnt toast out of Edwards...GREAT JOB CHENEY!

[11th_VA]

The ONLY poll that counts - callers on the radio say Cheney won HANDS-DOWN

[martin_fierro]

Big Dick is The Man.

[ALWAYSWELDING]

Yeah, they can't spin this one. Cheney was THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and Eddie was his subordinate in the senate and Cheney had to give him a spanking on stage for not coming to work.

[pfflier]

He did a great job!

Careful in our celebration though. This will be spun into "Chaney is the brains of the outfit"

[marineguy]

CNN is listing 18% to 77%........for EDWARDS!

[gswilder]

Good results. Bush will build off of this on Friday. Just watch and see.

[Nick Danger]

I'm not surprised. I thought Edwards came off as a show horse. He sure is purty, and he's a silver-tongued devil, but is there anything behind the rehearsed lines? I couldn't see it.

Cheney, on the other hand, is all substance and no flash. Not a bad guy to have around in a crisis.

[af_vet_1981]

Of course VP Cheney won the debate. Sens. Kerry and Edwards are probably the least qualified ticket to run for the Presidency since Mondale/Ferraro.

[NeonKnight]

The only question that needs to be asked after tonight....Can you in your most remote nightmares, picture John Edwards, as President of these United States?????

[rwfromkansas]

ONLINE POLL. The ABC one is a real poll, not an online one.

[Uncle Vlad]

CNN--is that thing thing still on?

[ambrose]

CNN is listing 18% to 77%........for EDWARDS!

Online poll - meaningless.

[Heff]

I love when he bitch-slapped Silky Pony when he said that tonight was the first night that he met the Senator, even tho he's been Senate President for 4 years.

[Moconservative]

Dick is the man! Good job!

[jerod]

The press loves to hate Cheney. But as Bush said earlier in this campaign in simple terms when asked what the difference between Dick Cheney and John Edwards was? - He said 'Cheney is qualified to be President."

[dr_who_2]

CNN is for people who thought OJ was innocent.

[RatherBiased.com]

That's an online poll, and open to repeated voting.

CBS's poll of "undecided" voters, meanwhile isn't much more objective.

CBS has it 42-29 Edwards-Cheney.

[COEXERJ145]

What is what everyone expected from SEE-BS.

[dr_who_2]

I don't think Edwards likes Cheney much either. He has a tendency mop the floor with professional liars.

[Southack]

"Yeah, they can't spin this one. Cheney was THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and Eddie was his subordinate in the senate and Cheney had to give him a spanking on stage for not coming to work."

...And when Edwards did manage to show up for work, just like tonight, the junior Senator didn't have the first clue about what was going on. Even in this simple debate he couldn't manage to answer the direct questions asked of him.

It's true (and obvious) that VP Cheney won tonight, but moreover, it was undeniable to any objective, rational, and sane adult that Senator Edwards blew it.

The AWB Has Expired - Gun Owners Have Won Again For All Americans!

[RatherBiased.com]

Is there an NBC, FNC, or CNN poll?

[Cold Heat]

These numbers seem reasonable.Partisans will vote for their man, but few really know Edwards. Hell, even his own State does not know him.

[ambrose]

The CBS poll of "undecided" voters is in fact an Internet poll... albeit with selected participants.

[edpc]

Unfortuanely, I think that the Twins and Yankees won the debate. We'll see how the rating are. Any honest person would have to admit Cheney beat Edwards soundly. The Senator's arguements didn't seem empassioned, they seemed desperate.

[Hank All-American]

At least now Edwards knows where to send a card on Father's Day.

Dear Dad,

Thanks for the spanking. I know it hurt you more than it hurt me. I promise to show up for work from now on. Someday, when I grow up, I hope to be a man like you.

Signed,

Cheney's B*tch

[EricT.]

CNN is listing 18% to 77%........for EDWARDS!

One very good reason why online polls are destined to go the way of the Dodo bird and Dan Rather.

[ALWAYSWELDING]

"I love when he bitch-slapped Silky Pony when he said that tonight was the first night that he met the Senator, even tho he's been Senate President for 4 years."


Oh baby, I almost peed my pants I was laughing at eddie so hard.

[mabelkitty]

Dead people could have figured that out.
Glad ABC is on board.

[TheCrusader]

"CNN is listing 18% to 77%........for EDWARDS!"

OK, so 387 homosexuals and 484 socialists voted for the Breck Girl. The real polls say Cheney won, hands down.

[pfflier]

I certainly hope so. He did a less than spectacular job last time.

I'm nervous about the agenda. People from the audience asking questions? President Bush could be ambushed by a dim operative.

[ride the whirlwind]

Those are excellent numbers!

[JudyinCanada]

I thought Edwards really fumbled around with the "gay" marriage issue. He really looked like they wanted it both ways, if you'll pardon the expression.

[daviscupper]

Cheney throttled the "Breck" boy. Can you say "gravitas." Holy smokes. Our hit man tore the hide off that little boy.

Well, the VP did his job and stopped the bleeding and defended the administration admirably. Now it is time for Dubya to relax, prepare and take it to Lurch. He knows Lurch is going to come after him so he will be prepared and "loaded for bear" this time. Dubya will make the case for unwavering, strong, moral leadership and why it is so desperately needed in the world against terrorism. He won't be cocky or over-confident this time. We need Dubya now -- more than ever.

[madameguinot]

gravitas schmavitas!

[NavVet]

These online polls are hijacked. I went to CNN.com as soon as the debate ended and Edwards had over 44000 votes.

[AaronInCarolina]

Pat Caddell on Hannity and Colmes said that Cheney ran away with the debate!

[Johnny Crab]

Bush debate: $10

SpinCycle afterwards: $20

Cheney glaring at Edwards(with sheepish look on face) and saying something similar to: "Every Tuesday we meet on Capital Hill but this is the first time I've ever met you.": $100

Edwards looking like he'd just been punched in the stomach: PRICELESS!!

Caught on tape too!!!

Edwards reminded me a LOT of Klinktoon when he did his "we're not going to raise taxes on those with incomes under $200,000 to pay for these programs." Didn't believe it then and don't now.

[EricT.]

Cheney was THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES and Eddie was his subordinate in the senate and Cheney had to give him a spanking on stage for not coming to work.

Edwards looked like a rich lady's purse dog next to Vice President of the United States Dick Cheney.

[madameguinot]

HOO HOO!! I LOVE CHENEY!

[WuzzaDem2]

Totally invalid survey. Of course those who view the Communist News Network Online will vote for their own.

[GEC]

Yeah he did, big time.

[BlueLancer]

"...Edwards came off as a show horse. He sure is purty, and he's a silver-tongued devil..."

"Gol darnit Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier'n a twenty dollar whore."

[Theodore R.]

But Walter F. Mondale had been attorney general of MN, U.S. senator, and vice-president before he ran for president. He had held the right offices but lacked the "vision thing."

[madameguinot]

Any tax cut proposal with a disclaimer is a tax INCREASE!

[LikeLight]

Sadly, it seems that even many FReepers cannot distinguish between an actual scientific "Snap Poll" and a totally bogus online poll . . . thanks for posting this actual poll . . . now pray for people to get a clue . . .

[aruanan]

He sure is purty, and he's a silver-tongued devil, but is there anything behind the rehearsed lines?

Thinking of that line from Blazing Saddles? "God darnit, Mr. Lamarr. You use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore."
