At this point, the election appears to be swinging on feelings and style and not facts whatsoever. I believe that this is something R&R have figured out. Lay low, say what you want, and put forth a positive and respectful demeanor.

It turns out that it has been the worst two weeks to inflict wounds on ourselves. Although Joe brilliantly volleyed back every falsehood thrown at him..but, his brash and laughing demeanor may have only appealed to us and not the people we are fighting to keep/get. Who knows what people would be saying if he had excelled in facts and demeanor. Who knows what people would be saying if Obama had had more spirit and showed some defense? Sad and maddening to think about.

Time to take a breather. Hope the polls trend back. Hope next week Obama finds that happy medium between style and substance. And continue to work harder than before.
