(7,044 posts)anyone who watched say that Romney was, frankly, offensive, and Obama won hands down.

(26,045 posts)...the others, including most of the ones with really huge margins, were website polls "for entertainment purposes only"...although I doubt the G.O.P. finds them very entertaining.
I'd say well have to wait until Friday at the earliest to see what sort of bounce (if any) Obama will receive from this.

(1,417 posts)I (and many others) including alot of people in the media, which is good. think Obama won hands down.. that Colorado poll of voters is great.. I think it will move the polls.. I think at the end of the day Obama will probably win.. but I don't think it will be a landslide like pre-debate.. maybe 3 pts plus. We knew all year that this election would be close... But he did what he had to do tonite plus more.......I think we should have no problem with OH and CO.. and NV (I live here in NV).. WI WE SHOULD HAVE NO PROB WITH.. EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST ICING ON THE CAKE.. (i think NC might be a stretcH.. but VA we may be back up in after tonite. and FL is tough but we will make them spend $$ there.) thats just my .02... WILLARD would have to run the table on a shitload of swing states .. the President after tonite stopped that i think plus stopped the bleeding and got back extra brownie points !!

(2,730 posts)Don't worry about North Carolina because early voting actually begins on Thursday. That will be the real Poll, instead of those fake Polls by the GOP. You'll see where the real votes are and the first lady is suppose to be here on Thursday to kick off early voting. Kids in North Carolina actually went for Obama too. It was one of the few Southern States to do so.
