Don't Be Fooled, That Debate Was a Big Deal
FoxNews ^ | Oct 5, 2012 | Chris Stirewalt

Mitt Romney beat the britches off of President Obama in their first debate, including the devastating sound bite "you've been president for four years."

It was the most-watched debate in 20 years and was the most decisive victory by a challenger in at least that long, but to look at the news today, you might be tempted to think it really didn't matter.

But don't be fooled into thinking that what happened on Wednesday was not a massive moment for the race.

CNN's post debate poll this time found 67 percent believed Romney won compared to 25 percent for Obama, with 8 percent calling it a draw.

While media slant will help Obama make lemons out of lemonade at every moment possible, it isn't enough to roll back what happened on Wednesday when Mitt Romney all at once became a plausible alternative.

72 million viewers saw Humpty Dumpty fall from the wall, and and all the King’s horses (lying lib media) and all the King’s men (Axelrod, Plouffe etc) can’t put Humpty together again.

If course it is a big deal.
If 0bama had won, the media gloating would have been absolutely relentless.

Humpty Obama sat on his ass,
Humpty Obama’s jaw’s made of glass
and all of his media
and all his yes-men
can’t put his image together again

I’m thinking Ryan could come to the stage stoned drunk, his brain tied behind his back, and still come out ahead against crazy uncle Joe..Should be fun to watch!

In which case, Ryan would be castigated in the MSM, for being “mean” to a befuddled old man. (Completely ignoring that this befuddled old man is, as the saying goes, “a heartbeat away from the presidency”.)

“I’m thinking Ryan could come to the stage stoned drunk, his brain tied behind his back...]

You mean the way Uncle Joe will come in? Oh, I have a 12 pack and the popcorn on standby for that debate.

I want Ryan to start a sentence with, “Mr. Vice President, let’s do some math together, shall we?”

PLEASE let Biden make one of his gaffes. Oh, Please. That would be so entertaining.

What might a Biden gaffe look like?

How about: Biden compares his job supporting the president to hot cheerleaders at a football game?

Maybe he will say that in the last four years the middle class has been buried -- in a good way.

Biden doesn’t do well without a teleprompter or without a
written canned speech. The real Biden is incredibly...
well you know.
