I think all the posters here make great points, and show why 0 was wrong. However, the average independent voter does not know or care about these facts, and will never see these admirable rebuttals from Freepers. In their minds, 0 delivered a clever coup-de-grace for which Romney had no response. It would have been more effective had Romney made some of these points during the debate, but 0 won rhetorically.
Not sure how much impact it will have, but 0 definitely won on tactics, even if they were dishonest, since there is no way to go back and correct these impressions in the minds of the debate watchers.
Hoping R&R's lead holds despite today's debate ...
