Increasingly, based on what I'm reading here and elsewhere, Romney's "win" Wednesday night is becoming more of a pyrrhic victory in nature as opposed to a flat out victory. It appears I wasn't the one only who thought Romney came across as a boor and a bully, too focused on taking the President down than informing the audience.
R W Mason wrote a great first time diary that many have already had the pleasure of reading. Among the comment comments was one that came in after 2AM this morning from susan in sc which links to a huffpo piece. It's well worth a read.
Im a frayed knot wrote another quick post coming to the same conclusion, Romney may not have really won the debate. Among to comments is one from kestrel9000 which has a link to a Sesame Street ad.
As we get further and further away from Wednesday night, Romney's win is becoming more of a Pyrrhic nature than an actual victory. If this is the kind of win Romney et al are looking for, please give us more.
On with the games!!
Mojo Friday Guidelines
1) If you comment you have to recommend all comments. (in order to receive mojo you have to give mojo. It's only good mojo manners.)
2) Everything you say may be taken as a joke (so if you ask a question, expect a silly answer)
3) You must recommend the diary (and pimp it unapologetically)
4) You don't have to comment to recommend.
5) You can't steal my idea (right, like that ain't goin' to happen)
6) Please, no pictures or YouTubes until after 300 comments. Now, after 100, use a little common courtesy and be responsible in the number.
7) Mojo mojo mojo mojo, mojo mojo mojo.
8) TexDem (that's me) is not bound by the guidelines. Heh

G. (New) Have at least 30 kossacks over 90% participation (see here for some tips).
H. Overload the servers with recommends, not to mention dominate Top Comments Mojo list. (we do tend to mess with the site with all of our recommends at one time)(also, to dominate the Top Comments Top Mojo we need at least 50 comments with over 200 recommends, see guideline B)
I. That's enough for now. (Have a suggestion? Post it.)
