Someone PLEASE get Obama a cup of coffee.  

I was thinking the same thing. He's too sluggish.
Yeah, something is really off.  I wonder if he had a fight with Michelle on the phone before the debate started or something.  This isn't typical of him.

I know what the problem is: Obama wants to be home with Michelle celebrating their anniversary.  His mind is on his anni, not on the debate...

Romney probably  gets a  percentage point or two bounce on RCP. Still not enough.

I've been teaching special education for eight years and I never thought in a million years any candidate for president would ever mention IDEA in a national debate. I never thought any candidate for president even knew what IDEA was. Major props for Romney for mentioning the law from this special education teacher.

I thought Obama would be harder on Romneycare. Governor Romney did a great job not going on defense.

No, but it's a huge step in the right direction.

Er... which half?

For the record, I always enjoy the Atlas chatroom on debates.

"You're entitled to your own airplane and your own house, but not your own facts..."

A winning line. Romney has been really successful at turning Democratic talking points against themselves.

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.

It's hilarious every time Romney takes credit for things in Massachusetts.  Isn't he trailing by about 20 points there? Hmm.

Romney seems like he's trying to say too many things at once.
