My utterly centrist wife thinks it was close but gives Romney the edge. She's calls them like she sees them. I didn't watch it. I am now hearing, in the background, the media spin which is predictably pro-O.

Intrade is a manipulated penny stock, get real.

The Intrade sample that you cite (in this case limited to the debate) is statistically insignificant and subject to manipulation. The CBS poll scored the debate 37% to 30% in favor of Obama. The broader Intrade index for the election has given a bump to Obama from 62.3% to 64.3%. Obama did better tonight, but it was not like the knockout scored by Romney two weeks ago. Romney whiffed on Libya tonight. He won't next week. What are the odds that Obama will unleash the drones before the next debate?
