It's my point, I'll decide who's missing it. You can pull up all the tangential poll results and speculative remarks you want, it doesn't change the fact that Obama won the debate.
I never denied that. What I discussed was WHY he won the debate, which is the equivalent of a charity effort, given how badly he sucked in the first debate. Yet, for some STRANGE reason, the same voters that said he won gave his opponent better numbers on the economy (ISSUE #1).
It adds up to what I said from the start. Obama get the win, simply because he didn't absolutely BLOW the way he did two weeks ago.
Concerning polls, are you aware we have a thing called the Electoral College in this country? I have not seen a single one that has Romney winning.
Obama 279, Romney 239 (http://electoral-vote.com)

He still has ground to make up and I'm not sure why the right is getting all smug all of a sudden and thinking it's over just because he's catching up. It's 20 days until the election, trending in the right direction may not be good enough.
Fortunately in 20 days this will be over and delusional tunnel-visioned retards like you will return to the Politics board regardless of who wins so we won't have to put up with your shitposting anymore.
One, I never declared that it's all over. If anything, I've been laughing, because the liberals (who thought Obama had this in the bag) are now sweating Crisco.
Two, I'm fully aware of the electoral college. You will recall that I mentioned Obama's plunge in RCP from 265 to 201. As for the rest of the site m you mentioned, those are without toss-ups. Of course, the toss-ups are close races within the margin of error, and with a significant portion of undecided voters (who, in case you forgot, tend to break FOR THE CHALLENGER).
Edit - As of 12:30 EST today, Romney now leads Obama in the RCP electoral college count, 206-201Three, states that Obama should have locked up MONTHS AGO are still in play. That's not good news for the president
And, four, I can (and have) posted where I please. I started on G&O, long before you got here. And, I'll post here long after you leave.
In 20 days, voters are NOT going to be thinking about Obama's debate. They'll be thinking about the economy. And, if Obama keeps losing on the economic front, he can kiss the White House goodbye.
