12. Romney is now married to his lies. Obama gave him all the rope he needs to hang himself.

The Mittster is now on record with multiple lies. Today, even if they want to say Romney "won", the media is, in fact, reporting on the lies and misspeaks of last night. Romney's own people were backpedaling last night immediately AFTER the debate. They have more debates coming up and the lies and extreme positions are all fair game from here on out.

I realize everybody wanted to see Obama kick Romney in the nuts and then stomp him while he was down, but that is not and never has been Obama's style. Yes, he wants to be "liked" but he also is very calculated with his campaigns. I have every belief that last night went EXACTLY as planned.

Seriously. Obama did not give up anything.
