10. True. But, today, we're only hearing

the negative reactions. Obama was Obama last night. Romney was the one who was uncharacteristic. It's going to take time to see what the people think who actually watched the debates and are trying to decide how to vote. I'm not able to predict their reactions.

Almost every reaction this morning is an over-reaction.
