2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumOh Shit....
I was listening to the radio and heard some bad news. They were talking about Romney's debate performance and the after effects of it. It turns out that since last night
-Romney suddenly has a ground game. It just magically appeared over night. Hundreds of field offices have sprung up in the past few hours
-Remember how the Republicans were lagging badly in registering voters? Well they have registered several million this morning, even in states were registration has ended.
-A significant majority of the early votes that were likely heavily democratic have been retroactively changed to Romney votes. Don't think that is possible? Looks like you have never seen the effects of one debate.
-Romney's fund-raising woes have instantly disappeared. Remember how Obama out raised Romney in August? Well those numbers have been reviewed post-debate and it turns out Romney raised twice as much as Obama.
-The 47% video have disappeared and no one seems to have any recollection of it.
-The disastrous republican convention? Now it was a major success.
-Remember Romney gloating about the death of a U.S. ambassador? Turns out it never happened, thanks to him winning the debate. Go find the video of it. I'll save you the trouble. It doesn't exist anymore!
-Mitt Romney's tax return problems? Gone! He released 20 years worth 8 months ago and they showed he is on the up and up.
-Those Cayman Island accounts? Retroactively gone. They were never opened.
-Obama's advantage with women voters? Wiped out! Latino voters? Say hello El Presidente Romney, because Obama has lost them too.
God the effects of one debate are mind boggling aren't they? That's what we get for playing it safe. One more debate like that and Obama will retroactively lose the 2008 election.
What fools we have been!

This isn't the only debate, and remember: Kerry beat the pants off of Dubya in their first debate.

(827 posts)Good one... at the end of the day, the ground game, demographics and Romney's unlikeables will wind up killing him.
I just wanted a landslide which I dont think happens now...

I'm thinking Obama should just resign at this point.
