The debates didn't sway any voters, but it energized a demoralized Republican base to come out

and vote. This is what I am most sick about. There were plenty of Repukes that had thrown up their hands and didn't think their vote was going to matter. Now they have some motivation and they think this was a game changer. I can not believe we allowed
this to happen.

I am sick and angry with the optics and the way Romney was allowed to lie unchecked. Obama had a great rally today, but it
was 13 hours too late. Even unprepared, I can't believe the President was caught this off guard. Romney is a sack of shit and he
made himself look empathetic. I know that there are 2 more debates coming but we can not afford to throw away opportunities
when uninformed voters are watching.

and I live in Tea Bag central.

I still don't believe he got a bump out of his uncivil performance from anyone who hadn't already made up their mind already to vote for him. Perhaps now they just feel a little better about it...but I think he just fellated his base...but they were going to vote for him anyway.
