So rather than reading real news from a variety of reputable sources or dealing with real facts from scientifically run polls, you're basing everything on a blog post in the American Thinker? No wonder we're a dumb country.
Did you bother to read the news sources quoted half way down. Thought not. Well, does this help you any better?
You fail to look at the details. MSNBC panel and Fox panel, they were swayed by Romney. CNN and CBS poll breakdown had Romney winning big on economy. Won on taxes, deficit, health care also.
Just because some thought Obama did a good job debating, doesnt mean he did a good job on substance of key issues.
The only victory Obama won last night was to debate better than his dismal, embarrassing, last performance. He did do that, but that is about all he did.
It's simple. Questioners are regular people, not generally used to being in front of cameras and speaking in front of cameras, and sometimes questioners will forget their question. That was illustrated clearly with the one woman who was trying to use 4 specific examples in her question, but only remembered 3 and had to refer to her question card to recall the 4th. People sometimes freeze during public speaking or are nervous during public speaking, so generally it's easier to read from notes than it is to just stand there with nothing and say what you're going to say. The people in the audience weren't professional public speakers used to speaking in front of millions of people. They used the cue cards and read because they're normal people trying to make sure they get their questions spoken correctly when the lights and cameras are on.
I hate the town hall format. If you are undecided this late in the game, and so uninformed to have to ask some of the questions that were asked, you really shouldnt vote. If you arent going to do your own homework and wait until 3 weeks before hand to pay attention, then for God's sake, stay home and dont vote. Go back to your celebrity gossip or whatever it else you spend your time doing.
Obama won by a HUGE margin with the only group that really counts - his supporters. This debate was about getting enthusiasm and momemtum back in his own troops. He did that with the best debate performance of his life and of this campaign. The polls will remain tight, but the Democrats are once again happy and confident and will show at the polls and win this one for Obama. It won't be a landslide, but it will be enough.
Here we go again: Last time people criticized Obama for being tired and passive, this time the same folks are saying he was "too aggressive."
