jenniandboys: FoxNews undecideds give it to Obama: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/presidentialdebates/3207511/US-presidential-debate-Polls-suggest-Barack-Obama-beat-John-McCain.html

Interestingly, I can't find either result on FOX's actual site. They keep saying that it was a draw, or Obama won: http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/16/candidates-race-battlegrounds-feisty-debate/

pulloverthatasstoophat: This should be settled as McCain. Of all the links that jenniandtheboys cited the only one that mentions the text polling is this one: http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/75910/
This article says: "Fox News viewers went their own way. The station’s viewers texted in their votes, giving it to McCain 87 percent to 12 percent."

You are 100% right that text polling is highly corruptible. Fox polling says more about the viewers than the election. Ron Paul did win every debate though.
If you don't know how to use an automatic weapon then don't handle a loaded automatic weapon.

You should have the right to injure yourself if you'd like to, and I don't see how the government can decide whats best for the individual as long as it harms no one else.
The only reason it's illegal to kill yourself is because of the debt of duty (and sometimes straight debt!) it puts on others.
