So, does anybody think this debate will alter the dynamic of the race at all? By that I mean will it stop the Romney bump in the polls, will he start to slide now? Or will Romney continue to go up in the polls.

It is hard to really figure, because Romney won the first debate by bigger margins than any other debate since they started polling debate wins back in the 70's. However, Kerry beat Bush by large margins and still ended up losing.

Hmmm, that's hard to say!

I don't necessarily think neither did too much worse than the other, from what I would've seen.

Just for the sake of answering; Romney might go down a little, if at all.

yeah, most analysis I have seen say Obama did well and won the debate, but not by a large enough margin to dramatically change the race.  I'm just curious if people think that means a stop/reversal of the romney surge or if it will just slow it down.
