Bottom line is we were score this like a football game Ryan won 24-21, with Team Obama scoring on a few Hail Marys and Team Romney winning by racking up 300 yards rushing and a few turnovers. Dovetail that to the 35-0 schelacing Obama took in debate #1 and we have continued ‘Mo on our side. Ryan did what he needed to do. Ohio(It is over sorry Rass and MSM), Va, NC, Florida, Colorado are gone for Team Obama, I expect NH, Wisconsin, Nevada and Michigan to be shored up in the next 2 weeks. I think election night we win Ct, Pa and a shocker or two like Washington or New Mexico. Romney needs to keep pressing, keep pushing Obama, keep raising and spending money, keep talking truth..God has wind in our sails.
You left out that Team Obama played dirty with lots of late hits and other cheap shots which should have been flagged for unsportsmanlike behavior (and would have if there had been a more competent, or less biased, referee). Therefore, while the final score was close the people watching it were left rooting against Team Obama. In football that might not matter much. After all, the Univ. of Miami won numerous championships despite being a program people loved to have. But boy does it ever matter in politics. That's why Team Obama lost regardless of the score.
