Either Romney wins or it was a draw. They want the horserace to continue for obvious reasons. I am on my Facebook and Twitter posting up a storm in defense of Obama's performance. There is a great video of his closing remarks that just got posted. It must be effective because it got a bunch of negative feedback from my Rep friends as soon as I put it up. Also a bunch of funny stuff about the binders full of women that make Romney look like the ass that he is. And I will be out doing GOTV this weekend as well.
