I think he will be much more aggressive in the next two because he's on more solid ground and Romney isn't.

That's the feeling I got. I felt going in that there was no way Obama would win this. It's Ray Allen getting into a three point shooting contest with Dwight Howard. Ray has nothing to lose and anything short of a 10-0 or 9-1 win for him would be considered a failure. Let him win 6-5 or 7-5 and everyone will walk away feeling like Howard won. I don't think Romney said much of anything during the debate but what he did was appear much more aggresive and confident and those are important attributes in a leader. Obama clearly lost this debate tonight in the court of public opinion even if he didn't on the issues. I also think that he played a little "rope-a-dope" with Romney and let him fire a few too many of his bullets early and will use Romney's famous flip-flopping on issues to his advantage next time.

They should have also just done a WWF and thrown the ref out of the ring because Jim Lehrer was pretty much useless in the squared circle.

It will be more like "You see, none are you are smart enough to see that Obama won the debate handily. If you knew anything or read the websites I read, you would clearly see that. Poor ignorant people."

Mayo is $6 bucks a jar. Gas is $4 dollars a gallon. 20 million Americans can't find a job and many have been looking for years. Half of college grads can't find work. The national debt is $16 trillion. The feds are printing money like crazy and robbing everyone's net worth. US credit has been downgraded for the first time ever and may soon drop again. The middle East is on fire. AND Iran is about to get nukes. Obama will not look good in any debate because he is running against himself this time ... not against W. Bush. The gig is up for the boy who would be king. Ironically, the winner of this election may be the real loser historically because the US economy may collapse into a deep, deep depression worse than the Great Depression of the 30's during the next presidential term.

While obviously Romney "won" the debate, did he really say anything last night? He was better at one liners and was able to fall back on Obama's 4 years as President which is an obvious advantage.

But what did he actually say that would influence someone on the fence about who to vote for? I ask this genuinely, because all I saw was someone who is a better debater, but his ideas still don't make much sense and won't benefit those of us who aren't millionaires.

I haven't seen a performance like Obama's since the Bills went up 21-7 in the 3rd quarter this past weekend. He had all the bullets but didn't fire them.

It's nothing more than a circus sideshow anyway. They make a million promises and break every single one of them once in office, and are never held accountable.

Romney swears that your impression stated above is not true, and believes that the Obama campaign is responsible for distorting the truth about his positions.

whatevah.

They did exactly what politicians do best - they talked for 2 hours and said nothing.


I'm just glad we finally got to see them discuss-debate serious issues facing our nation;

Civil liberties, privacy rights, due process, Wall Street crime....





Oh wait.

yeah, that's what i'm thinking. he may have won the debate itself-but exactly what does that mean? does it do anything, provide anything, sway anyone? you can win a 100 of those, doesn't mean you'll win the vote.

But I don't know how someone can watch that last night and be excited about our future as a country going forward. Just the opposite for me.

exactly.

Oh, no - Romney won the debate. Happily I'll admit that.

Because the fallout of Romney's debate performance from here to election day is gonna be sublime

Again: offer stands until 9:00pm tonight, I'll bet anybody on the board $50 that Obama will win the election over Romney.
