All the difference in the world. Voters were hoping to have someone besides Bobo to vote for. It was more than a turn-around.
Bear in mind that Obama was President of the Harvard Law Review, and is generally considered a strong debater. He should do well in the town hall format. The story I take away from Wednesday night is that people would have been writing not just Romney’s bot the GOP’s obituaries had he stumbled. Instead, he is in a stronger position, but he needs to get better. If the next debate is a tie, the media will declare Obama “The NEW Comeback Kid,” the polls will shift back to “Obama slightly ahead,” and Romney will need a Hail Mary in the final debate.
Additionally, the way unemployment numbers are now compiled means that (do to seasonal hiring) the rate will again fall in October, and Obama will have a head of steam the week before election day.
Finally, even Rasmussen is effectively conceeding that Ohio is a toss-up, and that is really the only vote that counts in this election.
“It is probably going to take more than that. Romney just negated several hundred million dollars worth of negative ads by acting sincere. Obama blew his Messiah image and looked instead like a pompous teenage smart Alec. Even his best supporters have accused him of being high on something. Obama’s balloon has been popped. “
I agree. I think Obama is going to blow it big-time.
All his supporters think he wasnt aggressive enough.
In fact, Obama was pretty aggressive at first, but his lies got stopped cold by Romney’s insistent rebuttals.
If Obama attacks hard but Romney comes back with calm logic and doesnt get rattled, Romney will win again.
Obama is stuck because what he has are a bunch of lies.
$5 trillion is a lie:
