I figured dear cali would come through, sooner or later.

Seeing numerous DUers try to spin the debate in a myriad of ways reminds me of Freepers declaring the polls are all bullshit.
Why can't people just deal with reality? I'm as partisan as they come, but I'll be damned if I'm going to let that blind me.
To believe that this was all some elaborate trap that the President set for Mitt or that he's playing 3 dimensional chess or that he actually won the debate, one would have to believe that he wanted headlines blaring that Romney won decisively. One would have to believe that he wanted to come across as listless and stumbling.
I don't believe that this debate as a discrete event, is fatal to President Obama's campaign, but it wasn't a high note. He didn't do well. He needs to do better in the next debate. That's the reality of it.
It's a very big campfire, blazing hotly and brightly.

3. Cali,
I'm unchanged from my immediate reaction.
I don't think Obama did too badly as all Romney did was lie.
It takes time to counter all the bullshit Romney was fast and furiously spewing.
That's my position and I'm sticking to it.

5. That's your opinion. Unfortunately, that's not the general takeaway.
And that's the way the whole fire burns.
