Time: Obama appealed to low-information voters by losing first debate to Romney

Time: Obama appealed to low-information voters by losing first debate to Romney. “The Obama campaign discovered that these people who say they’re not interested in politics who do not like the Republicans who do not like the Democrats, who do not like Washington, you know what they do like? They like Barack Obama because they sense something about him that he’s not really a part of it. So even that first debate, which we all thought was a debacle, a lot of those people thought ‘Well, I liked that because he’s not playing that game. He’s not playing gotcha. He’s not saying nasty things.'” The Gilligans of the world elected one of their own. Yikes.
