So a decent debate performance for Romney and a mediocre one for Obama turned the race upside down. A 7-point shift, at least. More than any other event in the whole campaign.
Anyone else objectively think it's just plain stupid?
(yeah, troll thread, I know)
What is so ridiculous about a debate watched by 70 million Americans leading to a shift in the polls? A completely staged convention watched by less than half of that lead to a shift in the polls, too. If a Bill Clinton speech can move numbers, why shouldn't a good debate performance by Romney and poor performance by Obama do so, too? For many, this was their first real opportunity to see the unfiltered Romney. Most people don't bother to watch the snoozefest conventions.
