Whenever confronted by the kind of electoral imbecility that engenders a headline such as "CNN Poll: Debate watchers split on who won VP debate," the more thoughtful, reassuring editor opts for something akin to the Crimson's comforting screamer: "Harvard Beats Yale 29-29."
There's a connection to current punditry with that headline, because James Fallows of The Atlantic worked for The Crimson when that headline was written.

I hope I am not breaking protocol by posting a link to another blogger. This is a devistating critique of Ryan. Screw the polls.

Tell you what, I do not watch the debates because they have become a media circus...and we all know who owns the media and it is all about ratings. But I was on-line last night getting your feed, P.M. because you are one of the very few I can trust. Right after Obama/Romney's debate I donated once again to the Obama/Biden campaign...after last night, I've decided to send more. And I am voting early, because of those undecided...looking for attention...I have decided!1
