Hit Mitt not enough for Obama win ...

8. you misunderstood. I never give a damn about the debate...

But I only want to investigate the fact, the reality that there was a measurable increase of Romney's support.

We aren't like Republicans living in alternate reality here.

Obama never lost any base support over a stupid debate.
It was that Romney did himself a favor of gaining his own support.

How else to explain the race suddenly becomes more competitive, and stayed so regardless how well Biden and Obama did?

That's the reason that I argue that: 1- realize Obama potential with GOTV, and 2-stop the tipping of the last 1, 2% over Romney, should do the job.
