Romney will get a slight bounce but it won't matter.
This will be my new mantra. Which I will eventually shorten to my favorite movie cheer: It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter....
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

He also looked tired and unengaged.

Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I read somewhere today that the challenger tends to have the advantage in the first debate. Hopefully that was the case here.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Can a debate tank an election? I haven't been able to watch it yet, and people appear to be in mourning.

I don't know if that's poor scheduling, or deliberate ballsiness, or what.
