We have cause to celebrate, BUT...

I am really hoping last night's debate changes the direction the polls have been going.
I think it will, I hope it will, but that is really the only thing that matters.

1. Most importnat thing is get out the vote. I would strongly suggest anyone who can vote early to do

so

2. Yes

I fear that there will be a lot of road blocks for voters on election day.
Especially in Swing States run by Repugs, and in Democratic leaning districts.

3. If it doesn't, then that means they did not go down in the first place because of the first debate

I think that was their shining moment, because it followed their big surprise (being rude and unprofessional in the debates as a show of tough masculinity). The last time it was Palin. They got a rise in the polls then, which went away after it became clear that it was just a showy move.

People realized that Palin could not be one 72-year-old's heartbeat away. This time, people will realize they don't want Bush squared in office. Even Bush didn't come across as a bully directly. Start thinking of Mitt being rude and unprofessional to foreign leaders and leaders of Congress.
