Viewed what the outcome of this debate is thats different and wider than it is right now. >> al sharpton? >> i think the president did what he should have done. i think he certainly stopped the momentum, may have even reversed it. certainly on the economy, on the issue of women and other things. i think, though, the most devastating things for romney tonight was self-inflicted. the benghazi problem and i think on immigration. but i think they covered all the issues other than voting. i wish vote...
