re: #159 The Mongoose

Interesting evening. Romney had a bit of a Jekyll/Hyde night. I’d say he won most of the questions about jobs & the economy, which were probably the most important. He didn’t fare nearly as well on Libya & some of the social issues.

I’m sure there’s a huge sigh of relief from Democrats concerned that Obama would repeat his performance from the first debate. On that score, I’d say he did nearly perfectly. In terms of his other goal tonight, which was to get Romney to seem unacceptable & presidential, I’d say he came up short.

Overall analysis: Draw. Polls will let us know.

Could not possibly disagree more. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous to call what we just saw a “draw.” It was a trip to the woodshed for Mitt Romney.
