I do think Obama has a clear victory in sight, though it will be close. I'm just talking from the standpoint of poll aggregates and electoral college math rather than policy positions or or feelings of who "should" win or who I want to win.

If you step back and just kind of coldly analyze the language of Republican surrogates almost across the board, it also coming across as desperate. It isn't overt, but it is there, -an awful lot of active narrative constructing centered around how Romney really could win. Obama wins this debate handily and Rodney's foreign policy is confused and conciliatory towards the current admin's positions? The messaging from the right post debate is "Romney passes the Commander in Chief test"

You expect both sides to spin every utterance of campaigns in their own favor, but what is interesting is how much of the pro Romney spin is centered on convincing people that he is viable and has an actual shot. It's a bit nuanced, but I think it is very telling, and in perfect keeping with the electoral college math.
