Romney has been on defense for the entirety of the debate so far. Not good for him.

Yes, because being on defense for about 90% of the debate is winning in a landslide... Tongue

Lehrer is getting fcked, I think we can agree on that.

He did a pretty good job at that first Bush-Kerry debate in '04 but he's too old to do this now.

My Obama voting stepfather just said he thinks "Romney's doing better".

Do you do anything on here other than say my [enter family member or friend name here] said [enter something bad about Obama here] even though he/she once liked Obama [or something like that]!

Romney did better in that last section although he's still coming off too angry.

Obama is winning overall, he's coming across as more likable.

I do think most of MSM will declare Romney the winner though (they basically have to in order to keep the horse race going).

Obama will win the instapolls though. Just watch. Edit: Err... or not.

Nice final comment from Obama (with a good little joke thrown in).

Romney's response just then was the most powerful I have EVER heard him speak. Simply fantastic.

Romney will have a 1 point lead in a day or two...

3 points if obama keeps talking

Wow, you are in for a big disappointment...

I heard much of the last half on my car radio. What surprised me most was the halting style by the President. It was not in character with what I think most listeners would expect.

He's always done that in debates and sometimes even in interviews. It doesn't bother me personally. It was more pronounced in the second half.

This is Obama's Rise moment. just like from The Dark Knight Rises. Batman tries to fight Bane the first than he overpowers him and breaks his back than faces off with him later and defeats Bane. so what Obama needs to do is "Retrain" himself for the next debate.

lol
