Who won the debate?

I personally will defer to our resident Libya expert on that particular question. Vosem did, after all, humiliate a (liebiral) school teacher on this very issue.

Two things:
a) I'd really appreciate it if someone instructed me how to make images visible instead of posting links, that's getting annoying.
b) Read the post, man...we're discussing voter reactions to the candidate's exchange on Libya, which is a topic rather far removed from the question of whether or not Obama should've intervened in Libya in '11.

a) Get a photobucket.

I'm not sure why so many of you thought the debate was boring. George Will called it the best presidential debate he'd ever seen. I'm not sure if I'd go that far but it was definitely one of the better ones.

Which ones did you guys find so much more interesting? Or are you just a bunch of map nerds?

I don't understand how people are thinking this either. If people are calling this debate boring I can only assume that they're suffering from a desensitizing to debates or something. Go back and watch presidential debates from literally any other year; this was undeniably one of the more kinetic and issue focused debates in recent presidential debate history with two candidates that were aggressive and on point. By no comparable measure was this at all boring.

I don't understand what could've happened that some people would think it wasn't boring. A fist fight? An audience member rushing the candidates with a knife or something?

Kind of interesting that this campaign so far has had three debates... one was among the most boring and un-engaging and the other two were spectacles with one definitely ranking among the 'best'

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, this debate was extraordinarily lively and interesting.

[Vosem]

It was certainly very interesting (in the Chinese sense).

Gallup says Obama won 51%-38% (for whatever that's worth):
