    Romney clearly looked stronger in the debate. He won.

    I thought it was Romney's best Debate performance ever....

    .....while one of Obama's Poorest......

    Romney came out swinging and destroyed him on every topic and every issue......Obama was barely able to get a glove on him.

    I would say it was a strong enough performance to ensure the election of President Mitt Romney.

    The facts are on Romney's side. All ha has to do is state them clearly.

    Romney by far, but I'm curious as to how the morning shows, Today, GMA, and whatever is on CBS, spin this.

    Well have heart....no matter which Romney you get......it will be anywhere from 10X to 100X better than any version of President Obama.

    Romney. Based solely on body language and confidence. I think he shattered his robotic stereotype. He was firey and he got some sucker punches in.

    On the facts I felt Obama was far more specific and factual. And I think the specifics Romney did give wound up hurting him a bit. For example the one thing he mentioned cutting was big bird. I don't think that's going to resonate well with Americans and I think he could have picked a million better things to cut.

    But Romney did edge out a win here. We'll see how much it shifts the polls. I expect a couple point bump for Mitt Romney. If it goes the other way though Romney is in bit trouble. Obama on the other hand is in a position where he can afford to lose this one. Romney is not.

    What should scare the poo out of you is that you know exactly what Obama will do in office.

    It's all about hope and change. LOL.

    Clear win by Romney. He looked and sounded more Presidential. Obama avoid his record and could not defend it. All he could do was make straw man arguments. Romney repeatedly made clear. Why you should vote for him. Obama couldn't do the same.

    I think most everyone knew that Romney would win the debate. I mean, so long as Obama did not curl up in a ball on stage and cry like a hysterical jilted school girl after being challenged on his record so that the Obamabots would not lose faith in him was all that could be hoped for.

    As a result, I call it a tie. Nicely done men.

    Still no specifics from Romney! He did speak well while keeping his ideas secret though.

    Forget what was said. Most Americans are too stupid to even know, or if they did know, do not know all the facts.

    Instead, look at the body langauge. Romney looked directly at Obama the entire time and Obama looked down a lot.

    It beats promising the American people that your health premiums will not go up and that you will still be able to keep your old coverage and that the debates in Congress will be held on CSPAN, only to just give the American people the finger instead.

    He also looked directly to camera more. Obama looked tired.

    Wait just a darn minute. We have two votes that Obama won, Obama and Michelle, but not one post defending the votes?

    That seems rather suspect.

    I almost forgot, happy anniversary Mr. and Mrs. President.

    While I agree Romney won the body language debate I don't think the looking at Obama bit was an asset. Because he put on this almost creepy happy eye look. I'm not sure what he was trying to force his face to do but it didn't look very natural.

    But I think his posture, tone and vocal speeds were all wonderful. Obama spoke to me more but that's not what matters. I think Romney won this one.
