As long as Obama does better in the next debate (it’s a town meeting, so very different), he’ll be declared a winner, even if it’s a tie.

I agree. There will be all sorts of smarmy sob stories, and excrescences of inchoate emotionalism. The media will take due note of "how well Obama connects" and are all set with the only story possible: "Obama is the Comeback Kid! Rocky Obama! Single Mom says 'Obama saved my life!'"

Etc etc ad nauseam.

True but I thought that about the first debate, too. It was hilarious after it ended to surf around to CNN, MSNBC, etc. Hard not to spike the football!

Doesn't matter if the MSM does declare Obama the winner. The people are going to have the last word on that decision.
