It's really amazing how one debate completely turned the tide

I just don't understand.  I really don't.

Obama is a black, you see.  A lot of white voters don't like blacks.

A possibility of a realignment is hovering over this election. 

A white realignment to Southern Style voting, perhaps, but nothing else.

Shut up

No, you might like it, but I've been talking about it since January 31, 2008. 

In what way, J.J.?  Younger voters are trending Democrat on the issues, and the nation is trending towards less whites.  The GOP is only winning (and narrowly at that) because of white racism and a black Democratic candidate.  By 2016 more of those old racist whites will have died off and more of the younger more democratic whites will be voting, and there will be more Hispanics, blacks, and Asians relative to whites overall.

Add to that the fact that Romney stands for nothing in particular..  what sort of 'realignment' are you talking about?

It is amazing, regardless of who wins on Nov 6, this debate will probably go down in history as one of the most important debates in presidential history. What's really interesting to me is that there were no specific lines that people will remember, no "you're no Jack Kennedy" moments. It was just that Romney was consistently stronger, clearer, and more persuasive w****r than Obama.
