In the first debate, Romney stopped the Obama momentum that built up in September after the conventions.
In the second debate, Obama brought his A-game and stopped whatever momentum Romney had built up since the first debate. However, he did not knock Romney out. It is now a horserace. And - barring some major surprise - I expect it to remain a horserace to November 6.
The third debate will be interesting. I think that Bob Schieffer will run a tighter ship than Jim Lehrer did and I think that the President is probably on stronger ground on foreign policy. But I don't think that either candidate is likely to get a big boost out of the third debate.
Then it is a two week sprint for both candidates down the stretch. Lots of advertisements in the battleground states. (I suspect that Romney will do some advertising carpet bombing as he did to Newt in Iowa.) Lots of GOTV efforts, Lots of pundits opining on cable news. And lots and lots of polls (that will be more worth tracking.)
In any case, I know who I am cheering for.
GO OBAMA!!!!!!! GO USA!!!!!!!!
