Here's a poll for you...

Was John McCain's acceptance speech:

A. The greatest speech in the history of the universe?
B. The greatest speech in the history of the galaxy?
C. The greatest speech in the history of the world?
D. The greatest speech in the history of the United States?

Media Matters - In text-message poll on McCain's speech, MSNBC offered only four positive responses
The day after Sen. John McCain's September 4 acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, MSNBC conducted a text-message poll asking, "What do you feel McCain's speech accomplished the most?" But MSNBC gave viewers only positive responses to choose from; it did not give them the option of responding that the speech was in any way negative.

Specifically, the options given to respond to the September 5 MSNBC text-message poll were:

A. Inspired the nation
B. Explained what motivated his presidential run
C. Outlined his policy priorities if elected
D. Positioned himself as the tough maverick for change

By contrast, an MSNBC text-message poll conducted the day after Sen. Barack Obama's August 28 speech at the Democratic National Convention, asking, "What do you feel Obama's speech accomplished the most?" provided only three options, one of which was, "Attacked John McCain":

A. Inspired the nation
B. Outlined his policy priorities if elected
C. Attacked John McCain

Your liberal media at work. Ya think McCain's pressure on MSNBC to stop being so mean to him had anything to do with it?
