Was there anything in that debate that people will remember past the weekend?

I don't think so. No "there you go again", no "You're no John Kennedy", no "there is no soviet domination of Eastern Europe", not even "lockbox" or "wanna buy some wood?" Maybe I'm too optimistic, but without something memorable that registers with average people and becomes part of the ongoing dialogue, I just don't see much coming out of Romney's "big win".

Got to be some anger and new distrust brewing about Romney from the the far right and ultra conservative tea party types. Most of all though, it will be Big Bird's night.
