If, before the debate, I told you...

If, before the debate, I told you that Rasmussen had the race tied (today's Rasmussen tracking, all post-debate), would you panic?  No, you'd interpret that as Obama being ahead.

If, before the debate, I told you that Rasmussen had Obama up in Colorado (post-debate) and Iowa (post-debate), would you panic?  No, you'd consider Obama likely to be ahead in those and other potential tipping point states like Ohio, Wisconsin, and Nevada.

If, before the debate, I told you that Gallup tracking had Obama 5 points ahead (today's Gallup tracking), would you panic?  No, you'd be pretty confident of his chances.

If, before the debate, I told you that Reuters and RAND tracking had Obama ahead (as of yesterday), would you panic?  No, you'd be pretty confident of his chances.

If, before the debate, I told you that Selzer, a well-respected pollster, had Obama 3 points ahead in Colorado (post-debate), would you panic?  No, Romney probably can't win without Colorado.

If, before the debate, I told you that PPP had Obama ahead in Virginia (post-debate), would you panic?  No, Romney probably can't win without Virginia.

So chill out and poo poo to Pew.
