The purpose of this diary is to collect some reaction to the one sided debate.
One thing to note: in the post debate polling, almost everyone found by a margin of 15 points that Obama won. However, the snap polls were much closer. The composition of those snap polls was VERY questionable. Snap polls of only undecided voters is a new development. In 2000, there were 7 polls taken the night of the first debate, and only 2 were of undecided voters.
