Myers:
>> it's a bump in the road. the fundamentals of this race haven't changed. the electoral college map, it's a fact it's a harder road for mitt romney than barack obama. as long as obama is still leading like ohio, as he is, the road gets narrow for romney. the president had a bad night last week. we democrats made it worse by everyone running around with their hair or fire for a week saying how horrible it was. in the aftermath, the republicans knew they had a good night but they weren't as confident in victory {until} after they looked at us for a while. we need to settle back, get back to blocking and tackling. president needs to have a better performance in the next two debates than the first one. this race is still fundamentally the president's to lose.

Matthews:
>> and the people have different jobs. if i see biden blow it tomorrow, i'm going to say so. maybe someone like --

Myers:
>> you made your position clear in the first debate.

Matthews:
>> thanks for rubbing it in. the fact is i have a different job than you do.

3. And Chris got a little testy with her stating his job was different than hers.....n/t

5. Yeah he said "thanks for rubbing it in".

He must be coming to terms with the fact that he lost perspective at a critical moment and that it had a bigger impact than he was expecting.

As I said somewhere else, it's a timely reminder to all of us to not let the pundits write history on their own.

4. and that is it, bottom line. matthews, maddow and ed convinced the repugs and public

that a lyin romney won.
