If history holds, Romney is likely to close the gap by somewhere in the area of 2.8 percentage points, give or take. Which would put them in a statistical dead heat for national popular vote, but still leave Obama with a large likely electoral vote lead.

Hair Swap

The hair swap is creepy.

I suddenly find Romney much more trustworthy with O's hair. On the other hand, Obama looks like a preacher with Romney's coif.

Kinda looks like Sharpton.

I only watched the last half hour. At least in that window it didn't seem like there was any real beat down going on either way but I'm willing to defer to the quickly solidifying conventional wisdom.

I look forward to the quadrennial practice of the media deciding what both participants did wrong within 30 seconds of the debate ending then the candidates overreacting to those rulings and getting pummeled after the second debate for overcompensating.

I was told to stop yelling at the TV after he said this. Apparently I can't watch a presidential debate quietly.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that scaeagles.

How many cycles do it think it will be before a Democratic presidential nominee shows up at a debate in a red tie or Republican in blue?

I want to run just so I can show up in a green tie and blow people's minds.

Then people will assume you're a Muslim... Or Irish... Which won't make any difference, becuase everone knows they're all terrorists anyway. Why do you hate America?
