re: #188 Reverend Mother Ramallo
IIRC, the night of the debate, many of my fellow lefties lost it.
Obama was expected to run circles around Mitt rhetorically.
After a good night’s sleep, they cooled down and said he won on substance.
The way I see it is that if it’s a win for Romney, based on aggressive lies and cheating, i.e. completely changing his positions that he’s been running on since the get-go (realizing that there have been many of those), it’s a loss for the country on a number of levels. This man is one of two running to lead this country and he’s proven himself to be thoroughly without ethics of any measure. If we as a people can call this a win, then we deserve our fate as a diminished nation of losers.
