Romney's body language is interesting. Instead of looking annoyed he keeps nodding his head as if he is agreeing with Obama.

The lines on CNN seem to like Romney more, I'm actually getting nervous.

Undecided voters tend to vote republican more in the end anyways.


Edited:

Romney needs 100% of undecideds (based on the RCP avg and assuming 1% vote 3rd party) and obviously he isnt going to get ALL undecideds. Romney needs to peel away some Obama voters

Note to Mitt. Outside the Fox/Rush bubble, names like Solyndra/Fisker/Green etc are not seen as evil.

Green energy is fine if done by private companies.  But throwing government money into fire doesn't work.

Again, that is a right wing position. Mitt thinks by just saying Solyndra, Fisker, Tesla, etc he wins points. Most dont even know what he is talking about

Mitt, sure you want the private plan...just like you have a private plane.

With the absence of promised zingers I'm adding my own

last month Romney's campaign made it clear that his replacement plan would not cover pre-existing conditions for those who didn't have continuous coverage. He just blatantly lied

I think Romney won with men and Obama won with women. Hard to say how it nets out, but team Romney are focused on white women as their key swing group. But overall, Romney probably benefits becuase he went head to head with the President and didnt light any cigars with hundred dollar bills.

But was this a game changing debate with a memorable knockout moment? (like Kerry/Bush 2004? or Carter/Reagan 1980?)
