Obama - Painfully disappointing. He was laborious and seemed like he had anywhere better to be than on that stage. He looked unenthusiastic and disengaged, like a Manchurian Candidate. No mention of Romney's 47% gaff for example, tax returns, tax plans, Romneycare in Mass.
If it was the plan to be Presidential and calm, it backfired mightily. He missed every opportunity to call out Romney on his lies.Very poor indeed.
Romney - Far more passion, but lied on many established facts that he had previously declared, his tax plan being the biggest lie than went unchallenged. Best analogy is ' Romney was a very adamant witness, but he perjured himself'. when the fact checks come out tomorrow, he will be shown to have lied, but much of America don't watch the follow up. If you can lie and get away with it, how can you fault him?
He came across as rude with his interrupting all the time.
Host - lost control, like a replacement NFL ref. Pitiful.
Summary - Who had the better debate? Romney's style won over Obama's substance.
Obama was a pussy and missed the chance to wipe the floor with Romney's lies.
Overall impact - negligible, Obama is miles ahead in swing states, most voters minds are made up already. History shows minimal impact of debates.
Confidence of Obama reelection 85%.
Like being 5.0 up after the away leg, and then trailing 0.1 at HT in the home leg,...disappointing, but not going to effect the final outcome.
