Obama's post-debate polls are like Disney stock. A little "up and down," but ahead in the end.

STOP panicking about post-debate polls. MittTwit RobMe has NO major bounce. Yes, he's gained a few points, but it is already shortlived. No, the sky is not falling. Yes, Obama had a weak performance, and we all agree with that. RobMe was going to get a small bounce no matter what though, unless he committed murder on the stage. The challenger almost always does in the first one. Obama also made no real gaffes.

But look, Obama is indeed winning the POST-debate performance as the Big Bird gaffe and all RobMe's lies and flips are going viral, along with TeamObama's hard hitting ads and hard hitting stump work slamming RobMe with his LIES and flipflops. The big picture fundamentals haven't changed, RobMe is not moving much, and the very latest polls are showing the bounce dwindling between Obama's good post debate work and the good jobs numbers, so we are hearing. It is like Disney. A strong company whose stock still has a few off days in the market, but is always ahead in the long run.

Also, every credible election predictor still calls it for Obama.

So please, any skyfallers need to just chill out, with all respect. Three more debates including the VEEP debate this week are still to come, along with a lot more campaigning. Just keep donating, canvassing, putting up signs, passing out lit, and making calls to voters. Can't handwring and dwell on what is done. LET IT SINK, and MOVE ON.
