The post-debate five stages of grief

Stage one There was a real five-stage-of-grief vibe on twitter after Monday night's pasting of Mitt Romney by President Obama.

Denial:

Talking to the press about Gov @MittRomney's big win tonight ' 15 days until we elect him President ! http://t.co/...

Anger:

Hannity on Fox- Our troops did ride horses  in Afghanistan and our Marines still carry bayonets.  #ACTUALFUCKINGQUOTES

Bargaining:

The "did what he had to do" refrain from Romney surrogates sounds like code for "we didn't win but we don't think we got blown out."

Depression:

Romney using kid gloves ag Obama tonight--WHY?!

Acceptance:

Ari Fleischer just said the debate didn't matter, which means he thinks Romney lost

And if Republicans think they're grieving now ...

Please give the president a boost by chipping in $5 to help him close strong in the final days of this campaign.
