So many obvious things here: First and foremost, once again it's someone -- anyone -- else's fault. Not the fact that 0bama benefited last time around from debating a near lifeless corpse, or a woman who thought she just had to show up to win the nomination because her husband was Prez. Tonight he was in a real fight, and he got his ass thoroughly kicked.

Second: How come nobody has yet claimed it was racist for Romney to so clearly humiliate the first black President? I thought that lovable chestnut would emerge no more than a few nanoseconds after the debate ended. So far, only Al Sharpton has been peddling some variation on that line, and let's face it, Al Sharpton thinks God is a racist for making him black to begin with.

Third: Note to 0bama, you suck as a debater, so preparation will be important going forward. Spending a few hours with your homeboys watching you "debate" John Kerry in a hotel room in between day-trips is not going to prepare you for a person who's spent the last year actually debating Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, et al on stage before live television.

Fourth: Cheer Up! Ryan is going to destroy Biden so thoroughly, tonight's performance may not actually look all that bad.
