CNN breaking news email:

"President Barack Obama outperformed Mitt Romney in their second presidential debate, according to a CNN/ORC poll of people who watched Tuesday night’s debate.

According to the poll, 46% of respondents said Obama won the debate, compared with 39% for Romney. The poll has a sampling error of +/-4.5%.

During the debate, a forceful Obama defended his record and challenged Romney on shifting positions in the 90-minute debate, arguing his Republican rival's policies would favor the wealthy if elected.

Romney repeatedly attacked Obama's record, saying millions of unemployed people and sluggish economic recovery showed the president's policies had failed.

Obama was more animated and engaged than his understated and widely panned performance in their first debate nearly two weeks ago."

6. One thing you have to remember

I saw Bill Maher on Sunday note and he correctly points out: "Liberals admitted that Obama got his ass kicked." That's why you saw something like a 65-22 spread for Romney winning first debate. This time around Obama kicks ass, but 39% refuse to admit it. Is it just a coincidence that that 39% is Romney's base who will never ackowledge anything Obama does right?

8. RWers are children

Their entire political philosophy is based on petty grudges and perceived slights.
