I'd say Romney won....

Don't know if it will change the polls but Romney did a good job....

I wonder if any Right Wingers feel betrayed.

I doubt it. I imagine they were thrilled. He's made some serious gaffes during the campaign season so his performance tonight should have energized them.

Obama didn't do to bad. Romney was aggressive and had a smoother, more relaxed presentation and Obama, surprisingly came off as stiff and slow. He kept pausing to think before he spoke and what he spoke mostly was boiler plate. Having said that, he did present more specifics and went into more policy detail than Romney. Romney was oddly Nixonian with his "I have a plan." but then provided no details as to what his plans actually are.

If Romney did one thing of significance last night is that he demonstrated he's not a right wing conservative ideologue. That was extremely important for him to do and what's more, I think he did that with out alienating conservatives. No mean feat.

But there were no big gaffes and and no knock out punches and it was pretty boring stuff for the most part. Though I think Romney had the better over all performance I think Obama certainly had the zinger of the night when he dogged Romney about his secret plans. I thought that was funny.
 
Obama got crushed, when huffing ton is lauding mitt you know it.
Obama came in walking like the patriots and left Like the browns.

It was just the contrast with Romney, who displayed all the composure of a chihuahua trapped in the doorbell section of Home Depot. Romney drank too many Redbulls and ran in circles yapping and making chihuaua threats to anyone who tried to stop him. LOL I don't think anyone is going to be surprised when Romney lies are pointed out tomorrow...give the bully enough rope to hang himself.

well, I guess now I know what people in the 27% that think Obama won were thinking.....

Lol, he did seem to be losing it at times, huh! But no real substance there, just the same old lies and air-popped fluff we've been seeing for months on end. I'm still looking for some red meat from Romney. The fact checkers will be having a field day but do people really care? Obama's going to have to step up his game, though, because many voters won't look below the surface of either mans' comments.

I would say, Romney did a better job on this debate. It will not help him in the polls, most people have already made up their mind, who they are voting for!

That 47% comment Romney made will be his undoing in the end!

I think he's saving the 47% for the town hall debates when average citizens can grill Romney like a cheeseburger over his gaffe.
 
Im still voting for President Obama, mostly because of the supreme court... but after the debate I do not belive there is much difference between the two men and I was impressed with Romney and his new found willingness to tell the right wing to sit down and shut up!

Romney killed Obama on failed energy policy!
He shoved the Exxon quote back up Obama's ass.

The sad part about the exchange is that the actual facts were in Obama's favor. Most green energy companies supported by the stimulus have not closed .. and all the money has not been spent. Obama could have shoved that right back at Romney .. but I suspect that he didn't because he doesn't know the details. He leaves details to others.

Obama said that he agrees with Romney on SS.

WHAT?

I'm not convinced that this was a fluke. Obama may not get any better because he isn't grounded in any principle.

Actually, in the polls you will notice that there is about 7-10% of undecided voters. More than enough to swing the election either way. After Obama's performance and the polls after the debate, Romney likely gained ground. In the end, undecideds swing towards the challenger disproportionately.
 
I was also impressed that Gov. Romney called the President Mr. President and that he treated him with respect and dignity. It proves you can have honest debate while still being kind and respectfull. (Supercandy, you could take note)

Dear Moron... if addressing him directly I would say Mr. President. This is a message board, we all know he is President. We all tend to type Obama rather than President Obama. Just like we do with Bush, Clinton, etc...

Now tell us moron... did you think you were being clever? Or did you not notice everyone else on the thread who did the same thing you 'called me out' for?

Want to bet you have done the same thing on other threads?

I dont mind what you call the President when you talk about him. I am talking about how you address other members of the board simply because you disagree with them... See above where you address me as "Moron", simply because you misunderstood my point.

So what you are really saying is that you are a hypocrite?

This photo from the Associated Press illustrates how the first presidential debate went. President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama appear a bit overwhelmed as they look for an exit off the stage. Mitt Romney, however, smiles as he collects his notes from the podium.
