There is a very simple way to tell if President Obama’s reelection campaign has had a good day: if the biggest story was about the economy, jobs or the debt, then Obama lost the day. Those are the issues voters tell pollsters they care most about, and those are the issues that Mitt Romney beats Obama on. But if the biggest story is anything else (amnesty, gay marriage, birth control, etc.) than Obama has won the day. He has distracted voters from his weakest issues and kept Romney off message.

By that standard, Obama had a huge Sunday.
