Mitt and Barry are both now officially in the University according to CNN.
And apparently Mitt and the boys are playing Jinga backstage. How weird is that?

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

LOLing at the responses on here that Mitt's angry. Not at all. He's just passionate.

Doesn't matter if its passionate or not, it comes of as being angry.
Whatever he is, it seems to be working with undecideds.

Romney's winning. He's clearer, quicker and is making all of the appeals that he needs to.
Obama is coming across as too professorial, his answers are too long.

Romney was the clear winner of this debate. An excellent performance, and hopefully the polls will reflect that. What surprised me most, was that while they were more even in terms of actual content, Romney was the clear winner in terms of stage presence.

Grading:
Romney: A-
Obama: C+
How many times do you hear that?

They're trying to figure out what happened with Obama and why he didn't come out swinging.

This performance was reminiscent of GHW Bush's 1992 debate.

Flash poll numbers are brutal.
John King and David Gergen just said to be fair, the sample of voters was a few points more Republican than their normal polls because more Republicans watched it. But yeah, seems like we could see about a 2 point Romney bounce.
