Tonight both Ed Schultz and Chris Matthews specifically said that Obama was losing this debate. Those exact words,
Now in Koolaid land you always say your guy is winning NO MATTER WHAT because that is how you win.
WINNING IS WINNING NOT WHINING!
That loud “thud” you heard during the debate (about 10;05pm) was Chris “Tingles” Matthews fainting out of his chair because the boy-god was being taken apart by the evil rich white guy....
Romney reminded me of an elder statesman or professor lecturing a stubborn, recalcitrant student. He did very well. Good for him.
I personally thought he wasn’t aggressive enough - too polite, but I guess he realized that FuBO is still popular to a lot of people, so maybe that was the best way to play it.
We’ll see in Round Two. The picture in my mind is FuBO and his handlers squatting around the video, going over every single detail of their boy’s miserable performance and figuring out how to go on the attack.
