I would have liked more moderator control to a certain extent, a follow up question or two. This debate could have gone on 2 more hours & the end result would have been the same.

Oh, his make-up was much better tonight. He didn't look "tan" like he has been, thank God.

Who cares, Obama burried himself the more he talked and promised the same old crap.

While it was a nice win for Mitt, I'd be a little hesitant to get all overconfident like a lot of Obama Supporters are. Still a long way to go and Obama ain't going to roll over again like he did tonight.

Even if Mitt wins all the debates, I still wouldn't call it a sure thing for him to win the election.

Honestly, I like when the moderator stays out of it primarily. I personally prefer when the candidates have the opportunity to question one another. Plus, I think an extemporaneous debate allows you to see the candidate's true views given the unsuspected arguments and counters.

In which case as a debator, it is your responsibility to respond in kind, which Obama clearly did not do. I know it's a hard thing to accept, but Obama was clearly flat and spent most of the night looking confussed and aggitated. He responded poorly and was not in control. He just didn't even look presidential. A president has to be a leader. Tonight, Obama followed.

It's done brick by brick. Romney sounded like a coked up game show host trying to swat at those soft-balls. Wait until he has to answer abut Bain, for his comments on the "47%," and wanting to let Detroit go bankrupt. The last item alone probably cost him 5 points in Ohio and 10 points in Michigan.

They do every time. The candidates have little respect for them and of course, everyone wants to get the last word in.
