It depends how many people actually watched the debate. If people just watched the post-debate analysis he'll be fine...not sure how people who saw it will react. I wish they had at least done the issue segment first, because he probably would have done a lot better with that if he had not just endured 53 minutes of gotcha questions.
5. I rewatched the debate--Obama did fine under the circumstances
His attempts to get the moderators to talk about the issues will not be seen by unbiased persons as defensive or whiny but as an attempt to get back to what matters.
So far tho the media seems to be refusing to talk about what a sham it was and wants to focus on Obama supposedly being on the defensive in a debate all night.
I mean the initial response may be negative due to the fact that he was supposed to do well in a DEBATE. Yet it was not a debate it was a sham so we don't know.
The gains from this will be long term. (It ruins any chance Clinton microscopically had to convince the superdelegates to overturn the pledged delegates)
