I don't know how many of you watched all of MSNBC's coverage of the debate last night, but near the end there was an interesting exchange between Chris Matthews and Olbermann. They took a text poll to see who won the night. Chris, throughout the post debate coverage, poo pooed Obama and said that there was nothing exceptional about Barak's performance, but he still was scratching his head about what he thought he was going to see from Hillary. 
He sounded disappointed. Though he admitted she did not do enough to move most voters he wanted to still know what more she could have done. That's not the point but the backdrop.
OK, 90,000 people sent in text messages. Obama won 70% to Hill's 30%. A landslide victory. You would think that Chris might say that "it appears the public has voted and they saw a clear winner in Obama even if I didn't" or something similar to a slight acknowledgment of the smashing she took in the poll...right? This &^*%%$*&^#$@!!$&* said (paraphrasing): "Obama has won overwhelmingly, BUT let's not forget that most grown people do not text like young people do". Implying that you should not read too much into the numbers because "real adults" don't readily superscribe to communicating via texting. Or more to the point it was an overinflated victory for Obama and the crowd voting skewed ti his demographic.
Keith ("THAT DUDE") quickly commented that the grown folks are the ones who pay for the plans therefore they are savvy enough to vote by text as well since the know what they are paying for since they get the bills.
I had been confused a bit about His stance but now Chris is "officially" peeped in my book. Just wanted to know if anyone else saw that or had the same pissed reaction.
