I just read the transcript of the debate, and I can definitely see why people think Romney won, although a large amount of that seems to be that he had the last word on every topic. I don't want to turn that into an excuse, but it genuinely affects perception of the discussion because Obama often made good points in his last speaking segment that were then effectively rebutted by Romney. In the end, I blame Obama for not being aggressive enough then, in arguing with Lehrer, because he could have pointed out - as Romney did - that when the other person starts the segment, you should get to end it.
Romney is a good debater, but there are effective responses to pretty much everything he said- as long as those responses get out there.
