Debating a liar: perceptions are everything
You can't successfully debate a liar. It just cannot be done. The person attempting to refute the lie ends up looking like HE doesn't know what he's talking about. It was an effective debate strategy, it has all the Democrats thinking President Obama looked weak, and the Republican's thinking Mittens is the bully he came across as. The take away is that The Truth Team has plenty of material for future ads. All they have to do is cut footage of Romney talking about his $5 trillion tax plan and then him denying it last night... play that ad over and over, and voila, Romney, in his own words, paints himself a liar.
Another thing to keep in mind, when President Obama did go on the offensive, according to the CNN instant tracking, he LOST points from the viewers/undecided's.
Finally, the M$M wants this race to be closer than it really is... they are, of course, going to go overboard with how badly President Obama got his ass "handed" to him, when in fact, he held his own without coming across as a big, bullying prick.
