The talking heads are all screaming how POTUS "lost" the debate. They are either stupid or just eager to have the pot boil over. POTUS is, as another DUer here described him 4 years ago, a "Jedi knight" playing chess with his opponent. In the next debate we will see him checkmate. In the third debate we will see him pick up Romney's chessboard and go home.

Romney constructed his own gallows tonight. I wonder if Ryan will support Romney's new policy positions.

at the Obama camp, you can bet on it. A frog is being laid on the table for dissecting.

Gauging how he responded. The whole Obama crew is analyzing every minute detail of Rmoney's bluster as we speak. They're learning all about his weaknesses and hot buttons.
