I remember after the second debate... MSM was calling it a tie or edge to Romney

It took a day or two but finally they gave in and admitted Obama won the second debate handily.

Tonight is no different.

And I'm ok with it because it doesn't matter what the MSM says. And if it keeps a few Democrats concerned enough to make sure they go vote, then I'm really ok with it.

The fact is, nearly 70 million people watched the truth unfold during the second debate. America saw it again tonight. America saw the lies called out on the carpet and immolate in their own inconsistencies. They saw the truth told in spite of those untruths going down in flames. They saw a CIC who has ruled with a steady hand and a keen mind give a lesson on the success of diplomacy vs. the failure of the Bush doctrine.

If there is any doubt, look at the momentum Obama has regained since the first debate, as displayed from Nate Silver's graphs. This momentum will carry us through to Election Day.



And this from Reuters:

"Today's number emphasizes the fact that the race is very close. We enter the final debate with the candidates literally neck and neck," Ipsos pollster Julia Clark said.

However, Obama still holds a substantial advantage in the battleground states that will determine the outcome of the election. Ipsos projects Obama will carry hotly contested states such as Florida, Ohio and Virginia, for a relatively comfortable electoral college victory.
