ver since Mitt Romney's 10/3 debate win translated to a lead in the opinion polls, I've been wondering who all those fickle Americans could be.
After all, America has been watching this race for a good long time, and Obama was consistently the favorite. Then one poor debate showing and a significant number of people changes their minds? Huh?
Today I found out. And I'm embarrassed.
Most people believe Obama lost the debate on style, not substance. He lost because he didn't come out swinging. He was too calm, too professorial, too fact-based.
