Charlie Rose and Norah O’Donnell seem a little surprised by the results of this focus group conducted by CBS during last night’s debate, a group that consists of eight undecided voters in Ohio — a critical swing state for both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Conventional wisdom and spot polls showed Obama winning a narrow victory over Romney in last night’s debate, but that’s not how CBS’ independents saw it:

Hannity brought up a great point when Obama tried to nail Romney on his Russia comment as if Romney was ignoring the threat of Iran. It was totally greasy because OBAMA HAD SAID “IRAN IS A SMALL COUNTRY. IT’S NOT A THREAT!!!”
Romney should have brought this up:

Palin raises some good points here too
The dogs don’t like the dog food. Period.
Did you catch the distaste O”Donnell showed in the beginning when she pronounced the word “Steubenville”? What a mocking tone she had.
Then at the end, her lips were so pursed, I thought they were going to turn inside out.
Feel almost sorry for that poor gullible woman in the back, who said Obama said he stands with Israel.
Poor woman. Don’t LISTEN to what they SAY; WATCH what they DO.
In defense of her naivete, I remember screaming at O’Reilly on the TV every time before the 2008 election he would say Obama is “pro-traditional marriage”. Why do people listen to what these liars say?
As I had to say over and over to my “red-meat” buddy last night, Romney had one MAJOR need: that the “undecided” and the press be unable to get a claim of “war-monger” to stick today. Mission accomplished, and meanwhile Romney’s strength, the economy, was continually discussed.
Instead of Romney bringing up Libya, etc., the Dinosaur Media is spending all day today bringing up that, and similar opportunities Mitt had to attack Obama, but refrained from doing. This is using -bama’s strength against him.
Political Jiujitsu.
Brilliant.
The press, and certainly 0bama, had prepared text available to respond to Romney attacks. All that time and thought went for naught, and they are left to talk about what he could have said! Meanwhile, -bama is left spluttering and wondering about the whole debacle, and the “undecided voters” were left able to choose Romney in an atmosphere of peace instead of worry. Oh - a side effect: if Obama now pulls a “wag-the-dog” attack, it will absolutely DESTROY him, instead of having a chance of helping him.
LOL
Political Jiujitsu.
These three debates of Romney (+Ryan) will be studied by political analysts and campaign advisers for decades to come.
Look for the last-gasp effort to be abortion/ Mediscare/ queer marriage redux by -bama.
It is amazing to me how shocked the reporters were about the results of this group of undecideds. Priceless gulps, looks, “interesting”, etc.
By the way, I picked out only one of the two, though if I had been allowed three choices, I would have managed to include both of them.
If someone gets to that “Israel” voter, and directs her to the way -bama has snubbed Bibi, etc. over the years, she will swing away from -bama again. She is definitely still reachable.
“Look for the last-gasp effort to be abortion/ Mediscare/ queer marriage redux by -bama.”
Add student loan “forgiveness.” The next generation will be relieved of their debt to their colleges, only to have it replaced by larger debt to the Chinese government. It will be a bigger debt because 0bamacare nationalized the student loan industry so that the interest on that debt would help defray the costs of 0bamacare. Without that revenue stream, 0bamacare will cost more, so more borrowing from China to pay for 0bamacare, too. Today’s college kids will have to pay it, not me. I’ll be dead and won’t care. Also, the debt will be unfairly “redistributed,” meaning that the college kid with $80,000 in debt gets more “forgiveness” than the kid with only $10,000, but they all owe the same debt to China when the loans are “forgiven.”
I’ll bet very few of the college kids who are bribed this way were ever taught the critical thinking skills to think this through.
Yes. I knew that I left out one of the items.
Right now, in order to take maximum advantage of wag-the-dog, and these others, the Romney campaign ought to respond BEFORE -bama’s campaign even rolls those items out.
I will be revealed that the US population isn't that stupid though. I am still in aww over the fact Obama supported killing newly born breathing babies and it is still not reported like it should.
