There's a very optimistic statistic buried in one of the snap polls from last night regarding who won the debate.
From the PPP poll of swing states comes this little gem:
"Maybe even more important than the sentiment on who won the debate is who folks in these swing states are planning to vote for now: 51% of them say they're going to support Obama to 45% who stand with Romney. That includes a 46/36 advantage for Obama with independents..."
Why am I so heartened by this? Because here in North Carolina we have a HUGE voter registration of 'unaffiliated'--which is our way of classifying independents.
