Is this the reality we have to accept?

That it really doesn't matter how Obama or Biden perform in these debates, the media will NOT allow them to be clear winners?

I think that's the case and it's a hard pill to swallow.

Obama would have been ripped to shreds if he'd been aggressive. Now what does he do?

I am watching the dinks on NBC and PBS now--pathetic. I feel like I am watching high-school kids hashing out a graduation speech.
I am so glad I do not watch TV. PBS had a bobblehead talking about Twitter trends during the debate and drawing conclusions! Ughh
