11. I'm sorry, but your opinion wasn't shared by the majority.

The first Debate was considered a Romney win by vast majorities. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/03/cnn-poll-romney-wins-debate-by-big-margin/

The first Debate basically tied the race, forcing Obama to take the race he'd been leading handily more seriously, and leading to a much narrower win in 2012 than in 2008.http://www.gallup.com/poll/157907/romney-narrows-vote-gap-historic-debate-win.aspx

In fact, President Obama got four million fewer votes in 2012 than in 2008. While Romney got a million more votes than McCain.

It's a shame the rest of the nation didn't view it your way. But I don't think it's a laughing matter.
