It is ridiculous in reality but in perception it is likely. The styles favor Obama in the dumbed down age of emotion over substance. Listen to people and particulary the women, they said Obama seems to care more about people. An absolutely stupid statement when it comes to doing the job of POTUS but thats where we are at.
I don’t think this changes much. Its hard to win a debate but its easy to lose one and I don’t think either had a monster gaffe or that their was some election changing exchange.
