from RMoney? I can count at least 5--that can and will be played ad nauseum in swing states.

How many did the Repubs get? I can't think of one.

Obama let Romney dig himself this one. He could have been aggressive, but has that to go on.

let Romney rant and rave and lie and bully his way through. If Obama had tried to out-bully him, wouldn't have worked. Romney would have played off of it, played the victim (as he's been practicing).

It's impossible to 'debate' a liar who enjoys doing it.
