The Debates

Very disappointing performance tonight by Obama. Kudos to Romney for finally looking like a viable option.

Romney was the aggressor the entire time. Obama was way too passive.

Should we start calling Obama Rocky? Gets his butt kicked in the first battle, but the passive strategy wears the other guy out in the end?

Obama was in defense all night. He let Romney off the hook on way too many points. Very disappointing showing by Obama.

CNN poll of "registered voters" who watched the debate have Romney winning in a landslide.

Romney at 67% and Obama at 25%. Wow...

Only time Rocky ever used a passive strategy was in Rocky 3. Every other time was the outmached aggressor who just outlasted his opponet.

Edit: That would be closer to Obama/Rocky comparison.

CBS snap poll of uncommitted voters (532 voters, didn't say location, demographics, or how they found them):


Question: Who won the Debate?

Romney: 46%
Obama: 22%
Tie: 32%

Serious question: who's really unsure at this point? Did they just wake up from comas?

Undecideds could be people who agree with both candidates on certain issues and have not determined what issues are more important to them.

Romney cleaning up in the polls.

Stronger leader
Won the debate
On the economy
Better on the facts


Obama will be mush stronger int eh follow up debate, he has more ammo now. But so does Romney. I do not think he used all his bullets.

I think Obama was better on the facts. But everything else about the debate was Romney in a landslide.

But seriously, who are those people?


There might be something to the notion that the challenger always has more to gain from these things than the incumbent. That's why we're hearing about Kerry/Bush '04 tonight.

Well according to the CNN polls you are in the minority on that. Romney won every category according to them.

I think there is something to it. Very good point to bring up as well.

As for who those people are. I do not know any but I could understand why they would be.

Well that's until the facts come out. Once the fact checkers go over all the claims, and we see videos of Romney saying contradicting things to what he said tonight, then history will show that Obama was better on the facts tonight.

In delivery, Romney was obviously a lot better. So much better, that a lot of people actually think he was better on the facts on first impression.

Well so far they have been falling Romneys way. Granted it is the very intitial claims but we will see.

Wether you like it or not the polls says more poeple think Romney won on facts.
