I expected Obama to beat Romney tonight.  From what I've seen so far, Obama seems like he's disinterested and hasn't been on his game.  Romney's definitely winning in my book, which surprises me quite a bit.

Lehrer is doing a good job. The point of a moderator is to get the candidates engaging on issues, not making sure they give 120 second speeches.

Romney's share value in the Iowa Electronic Markets has gone up about 6 cents through the debate.

About a 3-4 cent jump on Intrade

Healthcare seemed really bad for Obama.  Shares for Romney on Intrade and IEM went up fairly quickly after that.

OK, the big question now is, do I sell my IEM shares for Romney, or will his shares go up more before the election?

Obama has peaked on Intrade from his .35 high during Obama's healthcare segment.  He's now down a cent hovering around .34

Romney won.  Obama will still win.  So, I'm selling my Romney shares - a bit of a bump from them though.
