Anyone who watched or followed the debate last night has figured out by now that it was a bit of a one sided victory for Governor Romney. The President looked bored, frustrated and had body language that suggested he would rather be anywhere else in the world other than the University of Denver. The pundits pinned Obama's rough performance on many different things (including the ridiculous suggestion from Al Gore that that altitude affected the President) but in the end it is fair to say the President was not as well prepared or ready to compete as the Governor.
All of that is great for Romney but it remains to be seen if the voters in the only states that matter now (OH, FL, NV, NC, VA, WI, IA and CO) will be swayed to go for the Republicans. It is too early to tell if Romney's "bump" will last and if it tilts the race his way. Right now the President is still in the drivers seat and will be tough knock off. However the President blew it last night. Had he been the strong performer it is possible he could have put Romney on the canvas for good and taken away any momentum. The Governor now has some wind at his back and has a real chance to pull this out. If he does the Obama campaign will rue the day they allowed their guy to mail it in the way he did.
