It seems like the election is over and Romney won in here right now. The spin may even come out differently than we're interpreting it here IMHO

Romney may get some temporary credit for spewing lies at a speed-of-light pace, but they were still LIES. Hope this place calms down by morning.

In the hopes that folks had gotten the message by now,
that this forum and the Internet overall makes a difference....
but all I see is the usual passive pile on.....like everyone
could have done way better than this President. That's how
it was here for 4 years, what helped 2010 become a landslide
for the Republicans....and seems like folks still don't have a fucking
clue of how they participate in shaping public opinion.

That's why folks have been so fucking critical for the past 4 years!

Then when Romney is elected with their help by endlessly whining,
then they'll realize that they may have overacted and now they'll have to pay for it!

Whining on a messageboard has no effect on a Presidential election.

Look at it from a more positive perspective, whining about a debate performance is an indicator of passion and interest.

The same applies to Romney's surrogates. But as a participant in a discussion forum I feel it's my role to say what I really think and let the chips fall where they may. I was disappointed in the president's performance and it hurts because I so badly wanted him to win the debate. But BTW, I still think that the president wins the election comfortably notwithstanding this debate.
