QOTD:

“ Interestingly, Obama benefitted from his handling of both domestic and foreign policy issues. The response dials went up to 80 when he talked about his mother’s dying battles with insurance companies and his belief that health care is a right. (Greenberg says he’s never seen the dials go that high, and indeed, on CNN’s dial group, it appeared that they had lost women throughout that answer because their dials were maxed-out.) But Obama also impressed viewers with his responses to questions about Afghanistan and Iraq, both of which generated high dial scores. And he nearly eliminated McCain’s advantage as the candidate best seen as able to handle Iraq, closing the gap from -12 to -4.
