That one was 67 million.

Personally, I doubt we'll see a bounce as big as the last time around. Although Romney got caught out on a number of flubs, made a fool of himself, and generally got dominated by the President, he (unlike Obama in the first debate) didn't back down or look listless, and kept repeating his own content-free talking points without apology. For some people, that will count as "leadership" and his talking points as "facts." So, I think a significant portion of those who went "all in" with him after the first debate will stick with him, even if they think Obama was the winner of the night. On the other hand, I would think this would boost the voter enthusiasm of Democrats, and, therefore, move some RVs into the LV category. We shall see...
