I'm impressed by the tenacity of Obama supporters to excuse or equivocate over the debate performance.
A lot of voters cast their ballots based on things like how someone handles themselves in a debate. You may not like that and you may be rightly offended by those who are superficial and ill-informed. You may have put in literally days and days of detailed research on policies, etc. to arrive at the support of a candidate.
But their measly 2-hour "investment" in candidate research and vote is worth exactly the same number of tallies as yours or mine. There are no vote-quality points included in the system.
So the bottom line is this: Polls are getting close to even at this point - SOLELY because of the debate. Rail on against the writers who post uncomplimentary things about the debate and remind you of the discomforting reality that debate performances matter a great deal - but that doesn't change the fact that if the President doesn't decide to put on his big boy pants for the next debate, you may have to get yourselves ready to deal with romney in the White House.
Maybe instead of complaining about the writers you should raise your voice to the President and demand that he do a better job in the next debates. Arguing that Obama deserves a pass doesn't help your cause.
