LYING CONTEST

I cannot understand how someone can write intelligently about someone "winning" a debate that consists of posturing and lies. What you did strongly suggest is that the average voter is lazy, ignorant and emotional. "Winning" by 8% in a poll with no deviation from the mean or validity. How is subjectivity measured in a debate such as that? Percentile means NOTHING. Winning 8% more of a empty bag of popcorn means what? I personally think that anyone that gets excited about a political candidate is in DEEP denial!
