(85,813 posts)Mitt Romney won last night's debate by pundit scorecards. He'll lose the week, though, as the media begins to digest his claims and press him for the specifics of his "plan" at odds with his last eighteen months of campaigning, and frequently, reality.
Much of the reviews last night were about theatrics. Mr. Romney was giving the performance of his life. Anything less and he would hit a death spiral from which his campaign would not recover.
Yet the week following this debate will be about uncovering the substance of it. Here, Mr. Obama is clearly the winner. Mr. Obama may not have had much flash last night, but he let Romney be Romney, and Mitt's mendacity knows, apparently no bounds.
