    It happens all the time from my experience on both sides. As a non-political friend of mine quipped "All of you guys are interested in hearing the opinions of the common mine. And then when you do hear them, you tell them to shut up because they went to community college and you went to an Ivy League school."

    One debate win does not a campaign make.

    Didn't George W. get crushed in the first debate by Kerry?

    Do have to admit, these polls were surprising. After all, I had been told that the Big. Bird line would be the remembered part and that would hurt Romney.

    Obama had such a nice lead and then laid an egg in that debate. I just can't understand it.

    I don't really get the amount of panic here for Obama supporters and confidence for Romney supporters. While it looks like Romney has wiped out Obama's lead I think it was expected that Obama's bounce couldn't hold up. The electoral map still favors Obama. I never figured this would be a blowout for Obama and I think many were getting way too over confident earlier that it would.

    Yes. He looked worse than Obama did in his first debate, which is a bit shocking. ;)

    You're good at completing warrant-less sentences.

    This is just his new tactic. Anyway people can look at the electoral map from 538 blog that takes into account several polls and decide for themselves.

    I know your biased and won't admit anything but, there's no doubt that Bush got his ***** kicked in. In fact I thought Bush lost all three debates and still won the election. Don't want to derail this thread any longer about how bad Bush was.

    Romney has hardly "wiped out" Obama's lead. The race tightened, but Romney has a LOOOOONG way to 270

    Understand it? Romney is clearly the intellectual superior to Obama.

    Obama was simply a face and a teleprompter that the media fawned over, getting him elected. He's not competent, as seen by his poor results during his first term in office.
