Who won the debate?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Romney won on the economy, Obama on foreign affairs. The Libya question may be what is replayed over and over again. Obama wins this one because he wasn't as awful as last time.

I think this will move women back towards Obama in a big way, at least since the narrative seems to be how Romney objectifies women and puts them in binders. Not totally true, but still funny.

I don't think any woman wins with that exchange. It was too alpha males discussion how to "treat" women, objectifying and marginalizing them. Obama may gain support back, but from the looks of it, no one really won that argument, especially women.

Dude, Romney stood up there and said that he would make the economic conditions so enticing that companies would even hire women, right after explaining that he understood how important it was that they have the appropriate hours free to go home and cook dinner.

I was honestly surprised that he wasn't able to rehearse a less patronizing response on the issue of pay equity.

Oh I know. I'm not saying he came off well. That and the Libya moments are what lost him the debate, but I don't think women as a whole won any side of that particular. Romney came off as a patronizing masochist and Obama, while he gave a better answer, pays women less than men in his White House, so neither is a "champion of women."
