Who won the Debate?

[Eraserhead]

Big Obama win for me personally.

For audiences, probably a narrow Obama win.

For MSM, a solid Romney win (which they have to hope will allow them to keep the race going).

I think obama won the first half hour though Mitt won the entire thing. Isn't the first half hour the most important.

Obama dominated the first half or so. Then he started to become fairly listless which allowed Mitt to take over.

Hate to tell you folks this, but a CNN poll already shows that most viewers felt Obama won. Romney only seems to win in the minds of political junkies like us.

Obama seemed above the fray, while Romney came across as a spoiled, rambling loser.

I knew Obama would win the instapoll! Did you see the %?

Sometimes you have to be honest with yourself bandit. Even James Carville says Obama was off tonight.

Obama was definitely off his game in the second half but do keep in mind that Carville is a Clinton diehard and clearly hates Obama as a person.

You do all realize that Obama will probably win the instapolls right?

CBS KN instant reaction poll: Big win for Romney. By 46-22 say think  won, 56% have better opinion of Romney, Romney cares up from 30 to 63

Romney will get a significant bump out of this.  CO, WI, NH, VA, and maybe IA will swing into Romney's favor.  OH is the only state left for Obama.  

Haha, I seriously doubt that... and I was really thinking along the lines of the polls CNN does after the debates. I'm not sure what the CBS KN Poll is exactly.

Also, you people remember John Kerry right? He blew Bush out of the water is a much more undisputed way in his first debate with him and still lost.

WOW!

You were right Bandit...Obama won

I will admit, I'm surprised by that.

Anybody else scared to look at Drudge Report right now? I'm afraid my computer might ejaculate on me.

Lol.

Yeah, I was wrong about that, but people do generally like to have their initial opinions reinforced (and most people were expecting an Obama victory). I was definitely surprised by the poll results. But I did caveat what I said with a "probably" for the record.

[Eraserhead]

Substance aside, Romney came across as more likeable, which is probably the most surprising result of this debate. He made a dynamic and energetic impression, while Obama looked annoyed at times.

I really don't agree with that one and even the instapoll showed an even split on the likability question. To each his own though, I guess.
