It was the 1st debate, not the final word. No debate makes or breaks a campaign. What's done is done. Lessons learned; ammunition gained courtesy of Romney's barrel of lies and contradictions.
It was a single, front-loaded poll that showed the immediate impact of the debate, but didn't reflect the flattening and downside of the Romney *bump* or the upside of the jobs and deficit numbers. Several other polls, including some pretty reasonable ones, tell a different story.
It was a bump, not a turning tide. Romney needed to turn the tide. The jobs and deficit numbers made sure he couldn't turn the tide.

And yet the threads that seem to live on all this morning are the ones that claimed it's time to throw in the towel and give up on Obama, and new angst-ridden threads about continue to emerge.
Thank dog today's Gallups are out so there's something not so sturm and drang to discuss.

(269 posts)but lets also talk about all the great things our President has done for us in the PAST 4 YEARS!
I have always kinda had a problem with the slogan "FORWARD" I feel that it makes the Presidents first term bad and that we shouldn't look or talk about it but just go FORWARD.
that's just me though..
