A couple weeks ago everyone was declaring the race over because of the 47% video, and talking about how Romney would go down as the worst nominee in modern history. Now Obama gives one bad debate performance and people are declaring the race over again. Both are complete overreactions. The fact is, Romney was a big underdog before the debate. Now he's a moderate underdog. The fundamentals of the race still favor Obama.
I think the "real polls" always showed a tight race with even Romney leading a few times over the past few months. The mainstream media PR really propped up Obama after the DNC and helped his poll numbers, but that was an Obama bubble. Romney has a very good chance at winning, even if its a close win like in 2000.
Considering how the media assisted in the hysterical reaction to the debate... it shows what they want is a story... and either candidate imploding is as much a story as a close race...
But, on point, I can't wait until you allege the media being Obama's pocket because they share dealers.
