Also, an interesting theory I’m seeing on Twitter.

Romney won the debate, but he also put himself on camera, directly contradicting things he said on camera throughout the campaign. Which sets him up for some really nice campaign ads, showing him talking out of both sides of his ass

In the end, more people will probably see campaign ads than watched the debates. And, in what may be a sad commentary on our society, those little 30 second ads probably will have more impact than all these debates.

This. Any low information voter who think they saw the “real” Romney tonight will be getting hit with ads saying the contrary. He’s still the same old dishonest flip-flopper he ever was. Those ads will be up by Friday and any nominal boost he got will be crushed.
