After every presidential debate news outlets all across America (and the world) post polls on their websites that ask "Who do you think won the debate?"
I'm posting this handy starter list of news sites that host these polls.
Your mission is twofold...
- Add to this list with local and national news sites that have polls (swing states especially!)
- At the end of the debate, visit as many of the sites listed here as you can and cast your vote for Barack Obama.
I hate to ask for recs, but it would be very helpful to keep this diary visible in order to collect more poll sites and to get maximum votes for Obama.
You know our opponents are doing the same thing to spin the debate in McCain's favor. We're just going to be a little more organized about it.

I'm creating this list a couple of hours before the debate, so if they don't take you directly to a poll (I'm assuming they'll be on the front page) or if they don't have a poll, I apologize in advance. Corrections are welcome.
This is by no means intended to be a comprehensive list. PLEASE ADD TO IT!!!

UPDATE: Okay folks, the polls are starting to show up. As I said, the list I posted may or may not have polls. The reason I posted the original list was to enlist everyone's help in finding the polls and putting them in this diary so we can all vote on them. They were not guaranteed to contain polls. Apparently, this was confusing some people, so I took all of them down unless they link directly to polls. Check the sites for your local newspaper and television stations and let us all know about them and vote on the many polls that people are posting here. Thanks very much for your support!
UPDATE #2: Remember to tip your bartenders and waitresses who provide direct links to polls!
UPDATE #3: We're doing a great job, folks! I wasn't quite sure how to do this when I posted it. A couple of people seemed kind of upset that I hadn't done all of the research for them and posted the links in a convenient spot. That misses the point entirely. What we've done is true grassroots organization. We've tapped into the collective man/womanpower of Kossacks to influence people. Some people don't think these silly polls are worth anything, but in my opinion they have a psychological impact on the opposition.
Keep finding the polls and keep voting! Don't forget that you can also post comments to blogs and message boards. Tomorrow write a letter to a newspaper. Great job, everybody!

Obama also defuses the idea that a soldier's life has been wasted in the line of duty by doing his or her duty. For Obama, the soldier's life is not wasted at the time of death. There is no reason to add more soldiers' deaths, to prove that the first soldier's life was not wasted. A soldier who dies in the line of duty is not a wasted life because a hopefully wise leader has made the decision to order the troops into harm's way.
