Care to share? Thanks

And was. He also said (and I'm paraphrasing) that his team isn't stupid, they will review this and change their strategy if they feel it's necessary. He reminded us that there are two more debates plus the VP debate. And that Romney was passionate, sure, but didn't say anything specific.

If Obama needs to attack Willard on anything in the future, he should. I don't think he needed to do so tonight. Not until the fact-checking reports come out in the media tomorrow. If they clearly state all of Willard's lies, why play into Faux's false image of Obama as "angry?" He was calm, knowledgable, and presidential. Willard was none of those things. Did people's memories of the "47%" video suddenly disappear because of this debate? Did seniors forget what Lyin' has planned for SS and Medicare? No and hell, no.

...but the next one will be on foreign policy (which most voters don't care much about in peacetime) and the third will be a town-hall format, which means it really depends on who gets the questions submitted. This was the big one, because it was on the most vital topic.

Meanwhile, CBS instapoll gives the debate to Romney by 48-22, and the percentage who agree that "Romney cares" jumped from 30 to 63. That's about as bad as it can get, and I don't know if Obama will get a chance to turn it around.

That it's the opinions of the independents that count.

It is the opinion of the independents that matter.



Personally, I think the President will be fine.
