Adam Felber on the cluelessness of Imaginary Bubba:
(snip)
. . . Imaginary Bubba doesn’t represent the American people as faithfully as his hosts think. In fact, Imaginary Bubba is wayyy out of touch with Joe Sixpack, which is odd, because they went to junior high together. But in the first three debates, Imaginary Bubba, largely, called it a tie. A slight McCain advantage in the first, maybe.
What made this all the more startling is that the pundits ignored actual Bubbas in favor of their imaginary ones.

Of course, all three times, (the post-debate–ed.) polls turned out to be right, an accurate reflection of how the debates were perceived, and Imaginary Bubba turned out to be wrong.
