Don't you get it folks? ENOUGH OF THE HANDWRINGING AND BED-WETTING ABOUT THAT FUCKING DEBATE. The debates DO NOT DETERMINE THE OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION. They are but ONE factor. Yes, Obama was tired and played a stand above the fray game that gave him a poor rating on PERFORMANCE, but not necessarily entirely on SUBSTANCE and, if they did a poll on who has had the better RESPONSE AND FOLLOW UP TO THE DEBATE, it is TeamObama HANDS DOWN. They are CLOBBERING the MittTwit on his LIES, FLIPS, AND WAR ON BIGBIRD.

So handwringers and skyfallers, just take a chill pill. TeamObama is in control of this situation, and we get to watch Biden go after Eddie Munster in a few days.
