I think they both did well. Romney succeeded in looking like a possible president.
I then watched PBS coverage and they thought that Romney did a little better.
I watched CNN now I understand that Romney was aggressive and it was not good for the president, but he will come back.
I watched MSNBC and now I understand Obama was a disaster and looked horrible.
Why didn't he mention the 47%? Why was he so tentative? Why didn't he press back?
(Perhaps tomorrow they will realize that Romney was bullying both Obama and the moderator.)
CNN (they say scientific poll) 67-25 said that Romney won. They now described it as a spanking,
but by winning he actually lost.
I couldn't bring myself to watch Foxnews.
As I said at the top, I realized long before it was over that Romney was winning big.

What do you make of the argument that, simply by standing on the same stage as the president, Romney was certain to get a boost? As a young political observer who has only paid attention to a few presidential campaigns, this makes sense to me.
ReplyDeleteThat is the conventional wisdom and I agree with it.
DeleteRomney did more than that here.
I think Jim Lehrer lost
ReplyDeletePrior to the debate it was widely stated that debates don’t really mean much. I suspect that the results of the first debate will completely transform the perceived importance of the second presidential debate.
