Pretty much every pundit on our favorite liberal channel is treating this debate like Obama lost the election. Seriously, we lost the election a month prior to election day, but we're still leading by a small margin nationally & in most swing-states. The media sucks in their interpretation of the entire debate process & outcomes. Yes, there are a few individuals on that channel such as Lawrence O' Donnell telling everybody you don't who wins until election night.
The Obama campaign took the middle road with their debate strategy by not attack Romney directly resulting in a media shitstorm. I didn't realize the debate was a MMA match in the octagon where you will make the opponent bleed to his defeat. The reality is by the time the next debate ends the race will virtually be the same position as it was earlier this week. Romney will get slightly closer, but not enough to win the battle.
