Interesting bit about online polls...

I guess the Dem memos about voting in online polls went through. Last night about an hour after the debate, the AOL poll was about 70-30 for Kerry. But now it's 50-50, with 73% saying the debate didn't change who they were voting for. Which may mean, contrary to Mr. Hewitt, that we're headed for another close one. The big question is whether the anti-Bush and pro-Bush sentiment wins. Which leaves on question for the Kerry camp - what happens to their voters when suddenly, in the voting booth, those who thought you couldn't get worse than Bush suddenly have to pull a lever for Kerry, as opposed to merely opposing Bush? This could be a problem for them, and you can tell the Kerry camp knows it by the frequency with which Kerry attacked the status quo while only alluding to plans, even if those plans are laid out in massive position papers. Who else noticed that Bush could talk in concrete terms about the structure of programs he's implemented or tried to implement, explaining not only what he wanted to do but how the program connected to his philosophy? Who else noticed that Sen. Kerry talked in concrete terms about what he felt was wrong but not about why his solutions were the right ones?
