Asked who won the town hall between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama, Los Angelenos were emphatic. The problem: the event hadn't yet happened.
The undecided voters at Tuesday's town hall in New York have been criticized for the worst of their questions, but credit them with this much: no one erroneously imagined that they'd seen the candidates debate the previous day. That gives them a leg up on the folks in the video below, who were stopped on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles for a segment on the Jimmy Kimmel show.
"Who won last night's debate?" they were asked.
The catch?
The debate wouldn't actually take place for a few more hours.
