I hate to say it, but in my opinion Obama blew it tonight. Romney lied through his teeth repeatedly - e.g., his claim that he would not seek a huge tax cut for the wealthy, that he'd lower the number of those without health care and the utterly farcical claim that small businesses can effectively negotiate with big insurance companies for heath care plans - and Obama failed to effectively call him out. The end result was that Romney looked commanding and those not aware of his total dishonesty likely had their opinion of the man enhanced. As for the moderator, he completely lost control of the situation. Obama had better regain his game quickly and Romney's shocking lies of the evening need to be exposed. In sum, I am NOT a happy camper.
P.S. I cannot help but note that Romney, who claims to be the protector of traditional values and religious values, proved to be the biggest liar of the evening. Of course, that's really no surprise given that the "godly Christian" crowd and professional Christians are the worse lairs one will likely ever encounter.

It was pretty clear to me that this debate will change no one's minds. Both were pretty pathetic. I spent the whole time tweeting and retweeting the comedy of it all.
