Commenters at his blog are balled up with laughter, rolling in the aisle .

Hey Dan, kindly butt out ya’ twit. You keep your basket-case of a country and we’ll start fixing ours.

The U.K. Telegraph, one of the better Brit papers, had some fun with their guest blogger/writer. This is the paper's introduction to his piece:

Dan Hodges is a Blairite cuckoo in the Miliband nest. He has worked for the Labour Party, the GMB trade union and managed numerous independent political campaigns. He writes about Labour with tribal loyalty and without reservation.

Well Dan is doubling down on his stupidity

There is not one moment that I could point to as evidence that either candidate actually “lost” the election.

I can, I have watched everyone of these since 1988.

The killer last night was Obama “You might want to move on to the next topic Jim.”

Every debate has moments that resonate in voters minds. That one is going to stick. Obama looking to the supposed ref to rescue him. The common thread in most voters comments to pollsters is “we want a leader who will show us how to get out of this mess”

Romney showed he is a leader last night while Obama showed he is not.

Last night Frank Luntz, the gold standard of focus group pollsters, had 24 undecided voters watch the debate with him. 13 of the 24 were Obama 2008 voters.

More the half said the debate persuaded them to vote for Romney. Luntz said he has never seen results like that before.

It really was that bad for 0.

Dan Hodges you are an absolute jackass!

[editor-surveyor]

The guy is delusional.

Lehrer had to coach Obama on every significant point, and give him the words to repeat.

Obama makes an empty suit look effective.

[tacticalogic]

I think Obama blew this debate intentionally. The debate was about the economy. The news is now all about how badly Obama handled one debate on one night, not how he's handled the economy for the last 4 years.

If he does well on the next debate, people will forget about last night, and they were successfully distracted from ever thinking about what he's done for the last 4 years.

[sargon]

Last night, Mitt Romney lost. Yes, you read that right

British writers are sometimes very naive when writing about political events that happen in America. This is one of those times.

[Biggirl]

Panic time.

Denial not a river in Egypt.
