Debate 1 reaction…

Andrew Malcolm offers  a fine dissection,  while this clever fellow has  an “uh” counter.   I especially liked the Washington Times editorial on  the god who bleeds,  as well as Jonah Goldberg’s portrayal of His Oneness as  far less than  the great orator and scholar the lunatic left sold him as.   Charles Krauthammer writes that Romney basically  undid $150 million  of character assassination advertising by the Obama campaign,  which I think is correct.

Pamela Geller asks whether  voters will overcome  the liberal/left spinning which is now coming at us at warp speed.   The out of the gate response by the debate loser’s team is that  Romney’s a liar!, which would be dangerous if the public could depend on media itself to be truthful.   Kim Strassel points out there is  much worse  to come from the Chicago machine,  as does Peggy Noonan,   here.

Dana Milbank,  a reliable Obama fan,  finds a way  to not really blame  His Oneness for his poor performance.  I forgave  moderator Jim Lehrer  for throwing a couple of lifelines to Obama,  because for the most part he stayed out of the way and let them have at it,  which resulted in this upcoming cover for  The New Yorker.
