You seem to assume the media will not declare Obama the winner regardless the actual debate performance.

Some people will be depressed and declare it over for Romney.

My experince since 1980 it that few people are swayed by a debate, as most of the viewers are political junkies.

Well, I guess times have changed. Historically, the debates were the deciding factor. Today with the internet, FOX News and talk radio, it’s hard for the “media” to tell people who won the debate without their “report” being challenged. Also, most people are not stupid and can tell for themselves who won.
