In 1980, America wanted to get oust President Carter, but had doubts about Ronald Reagan. These twin sentiments presumably explain why so many of us tuned in. The same sentiments were at work this week, I suspect. Thus, the debate represented a huge opportunity for Romney.

And Romney and Team knew this perfectly, hence Romney's very intense debate prep. Chris Christie said the race would be turned upside down on Thursday morning and that is exactly what happened. Obama down in swing states and Romney up. So much for the the opinion of all the arm chair campaign strategist "genius's" who said Romney was running the worst, most inept campaign ever.

So much for the the opinion of all the arm chair campaign strategist "genius's" who said Romney was running the worst, most inept campaign ever.

Most of them were hoping to prove him an idiot to justify their attempts to marginalize him and keep the door open for Zero.
