How long will Romney's bounce last?

[Orion0]

I don't think this is a bounce. I think it's a perspective change. Mitt Romney spent 90 minutes making himself look like a credibe and smart president. If you ask me, it's going to stick. People have always wanted an alternative to Obama, except, until now, Romney never looked like he'd be worth it. Suddenly, he's Ronald Reagan.

Seconded.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Romney will be the Reagan of the 21st Century!

God bless America!

Third this. All of it. A lot of people's eyes are now opened (or slowly opening) to the fact that under Romney America could once again be a beacon of liberty and prosperity. That's a hard shine to wear down in under a month when it didn't happen over the last 8. Reaganesque is a great word to describe him. He's no Reagan, but he's damn close.

Yeah once the excellent job numbers came out the bounce died.

Full on lol @ "excellent."

The debate-bounce is over, but he could get another one if Obama continues to not show up at the debates.

I would agree with this point, but I don't think we'll see the same Obama in the next debates.

It all depends on how Obama presents himself. If he is patient and yet forceful it will do wonders. But if he appears impatient or clearly frustrated it might backfire.
