    No. Obama did fine, however he didn't "hit it out of the park" like he needed to. The townhall format was supposed to be his bread and butter because he's a "people person", so no biggie really.

    I've heard that Romney has been saving up his attack ads for the last 3-4 weeks, so expect them to ramp up.

    not a total domination, which is all that really matters. won't be a funny saturday night live skit, etc.

    3rd debate is on foreign policy which most voters could care less about.

    Candy Crowley on CNN says that she was aware that Obama said what he did in the Rose Garden, but she also says he was asked directly if it was a terrorist act shortly after and then again for 2 weeks and he said no. She also said the administration for two weeks blamed some youtube video for inciting a riot when there ultimately turns out there was no riot whatsoever at the embassy.

    Go fact check it.

    Who won debate? CNN-ORC poll of debate watchers: Obama 46%, Romney 39%. Margin of error: +/- 4.5%. Basically a draw. #CNNDebates " - @SamFeistCNN

    I just checked the swing states and Obama has decent leads in most of them.

    I watched about 15 minutes and I thought Obama was doing a better job.

    If you're an undecided voter this close to the election you're an idiot

    It's either

    R
    D
    3rd party candidate
    Not voting because you hate every candidate

    If you can't decide at this point then just stop trying

    RealClearPolitics has the Electoral College at 201 Obama, 191 Romney, 146 tossups.

    9 EV Colorado - Romney +0.7 (won 4 of the last 6 polls)
    29 EV Florida - Romney +2.5 (and won the last 5 straight polls)
    15 EV North Carolina - Romney +4.7(and won the last 3 polls, 5 of the last 6)
    244 for Romney if he wins these

    4 EV New Hampshire - Obama +0.5 (down from +6 ten days ago)
    13 EV Virginia - Obama +0.8 (down from +3.7 fifteen days ago, Romney has won the last three polls) <------- Romney's going to win this
    6 EV Nevada - Obama +1.6 (down from +5.2 two weeks ago)
    10 EV Wisconsin - Obama +2.3 (down from +7.6 two weeks ago)
    6 EV Iowa - Obama +2.3 (down from +4.7 three weeks ago)
    16 EV Michigan - Obama +4.4 (down from +10 eleven days ago)
    20 EV Pennsylvania - Obama +5 (down from +8 ten days ago)

    257 if Romney wins CO, FLA, NC, and VA

    And the one that I think wins it for either Obama or Romney:
    18 EV OHIO - OBAMA +2.2 (down from +5.5 thirteen days ago)

    275 if Romney wins Ohio

    BTW

    All that talk of coal was aimed at coal miners who live in Ohio and PA.
