I concede. This one was Obama's. Although I do think Romney got Obama on the economy. But heck, anyone running against Obama can win on the economy. Obama's problem is that he is the incumbent and what he's really running against is his own record. That's not going to go away.
Not on all areas. Romney overwhelmingly won on the economy and tomorrow after further analysis and facts come forth the story will change. Crowley was a horrible moderator and she interjected her own feelings into this without the proper facts to protect Obama. When this is made clear and it will be, people will be very aggravated.
Charles Krauthammer also conceded Obama won this one. He looked very unhappy, btw.
This makes the final debate even more important.
Krauthammer has been very unreliable this entire election. Fox has an agenda and it's not a good one for Mitt Romney. I don't listen to what people like Krauthammer say anymore. It rarely reflects what the people at home are thinking.
Even the other black man, the one who asked him the question, pretty much nailed him.
Nope he wasn't. It's funny how white people are so quick to label a black male an angry black man when said black man doesn't have HALF the attitude, tone, or aggressiveness as the white man in the room, yet the white man is called "aggressive" and the black man angry. Go figure.
In this case Romney seemed angrier than Obama, whereas Obama seemed more calm. That's not to say that there weren't moments where Obama wasn't heated, but Romney had more of these moments at times where Obama was smiling, sitting back relaxing. It wasn't until the end, where we saw Mitt seem "relaxed".
Of course maybe it's just the fact that Romney's face is always so red(I'm not sure if it's from permanent sun damage, or him being on the verge of exploding).

The only people that will be aggravated will be republicans like yourself. Undecideds, and democrats will not be. However I agree with you that Romney won on the economy, however that was probably the only "strong" win he had throughout the debate, and that is why most polls and most political pundits are saying Obama won this debate. It wasn't hit the ball out of the park win, but it was a "win" and that is not only based on the Libya attack but on the overall debate.

Yep. Obama won the debate.
I'm not basing that on polls, as we won't have any real polls on undecided's until next week, which is the only way of telling who won with any certainty.
Instead, a simple search of news outlets shows that the majority of news outlets showed Obama as the aggressor. In a debate, the one seen as most passionate wins. I predict we will see a slight shift in the polls in Obama's favor next week, which leaves the last debate being the most important.
That debate narrative will be all about whether Governor Romney can discourage Democratic supporters. If he can and there's a drop of even a few percentage points of voter turnout, Romney wins the election. If the President keeps his base revitalized, President Obama is re-elected. That's what next election will be about.
