I am not in the least bit worried about how things settle.
Listening to Frank Luntz group now and think most voters have mostly made up their minds and nothing tonight will encourage them to change that.

Well it could have if Romney had done as poorly as the messiah in the last debate.

The MSM is going to slant it as far as they can, but Bummer was nuttin' special.

I get the impression that Crowley overplayed her hand. Her job was to slant the debate for Lord Zero, but not so much that her bias becomes obvious to the common man. As people go to the web to read about her interruption involving terrorism, people are learning they have been had.

And the audience applauding her making points for Dear Leader was bad.  It made her look partisan, and it made the audience look partisan (Which no doubt they were.  We are talking NYC here.).

A tie is still a tactical victory for Romney, since he had the momentum going into this; a tie does not change that dynamic, only a clear-cut Obama win would have done that.

As far as the day after the Libya attack, and Dear Leaders speech in the Rose Garden, he did not use the word "terrorism," but he did use the general term (not attaching it to what had just happened) "act of terror."  So he refered to terror, and not terrorism.

Problem is that everyone knows what he was trying to say in the debate, and that is he was trying to convey to the people was that he did call it an act of terror, or terrorism, which he did not.  It's a bunch of legal speak.  If Dear Leader presses that, he's going to come away looking like Clinton when he said "It depends upon what the definition of 'is' is."

So, Obama did more prep for this debate than the last.  Too bad that prep only involved getting the talking points down pat and learning a few new lies without being able to defend his record.

Yet, they put up a registered voters poll that says Obinga won 46-39?

Really?

Romney wins handily on every issue except HC (he won by 1 point) and........46-39?

Whaaaaa....??

My indicator for how well 0bama did tonight will be how many national or state level democrat party members running for office, campaign with him at one of their nearby college campuses.

I'm guessing an integer between -1 and 1.

No energy on the recap at ABC, CBS, or ABC. Now Angrierer Mitchell said Mitt was wrong on the terrorism statement but she also thought the high altitude skydiver had gone faster than the speed of light. I imagine that Angrierer will be angrier about Mitt being correct but won't mention it. .
