Oh, I saw an O win coming. From the time McCain put his campaign on hold forward, McCain/Palin never regained the Big Mo. O drew the same size crowds she did. And O wasn’t the target of relentless panning in the media.
Obama was perceived as this cool guy running against an old guy and a dumb hick chick. They were almost successful in defining Romney, however incorrectly, as a cold, callous, heartless capitalist. Then came Debate #1, and Romney was able to define himself, destroying millions of dollars of advertising in the process.
If Romney ends up winning as a result of it then debate #1 will go down as one of the most significant events of this century. It was so impactful, so seismic .. that earth may have shifted on its axis that night.
