...can we just conclude that this foreign policy debate was as substantive as a Honey Boo Boo episode?

Needless to say, the insta-polls favored Obama, but when Romney spent seemingly half of the debate agreeing ultimately with the administration's policies/actions and the other half talking about public education and arguing about the auto bailout, the only surprise was that some pundits on the news teams tried to argue that it was even close at all. There's got to be some sort of "postmodernist" novelist out there ready, willing, and able to write a metanarrative about where the debate is really about the newcasters' use of metaphors and not about the candidates' parroting of spoon-fed lines, right?

Now to await the inevitable bickering from partisans. All I know is that I'm undecided if I should be basking in the glow of the "love" that Romney professed for my profession.
