On Keeping One's Cool

People spazzing out over the 1st presidential debate, and the wacky polls in the days afterwards need to chill out.

One presidential debate is not going to dramatically alter the election. Take a bath, watch a re-run of your favorite show, and get a good night's sleep. It's a close race now, it was a close race before. The fundamentals point to a narrow Obama win and to upend that Romney would need to play a perfect game from here on out. He had one good night in six months. Do you guys really think the Great Human Gaffe Machine is going to be able to avoid sticking his foot in his mouth at least once between now and November?
