Obama pauses too much. He keeps losing me by the time he's done. Mitt is coming off as an asshole but much better at conveying his message.
 
Romney has been much more effective in delivering his points in a concise manner. But he's still finished each segment.

But he has no substance and his rhetoric, as well-delivered as it is, only speaks to the base that was already going to vote for him.

I guess this drives republican turn-out but it's not winning any independents.
 
I think Romney has definitely been a little more consistent, but that there have been no big knock outs - and knock outs is the only way for Romney to change this race. He will gain a point or two and then steady out.

Yep. Pretty much. Romney needs knock out for people to actually switch from their current positions.
 
Romney has don well, Obama has been sloppy and didn't get hte last word on anything, nothing really memorable....

...outside of destroying Romney on medicare and his voucher plan. People will remember that because Romney admitted to it.

Sure. The problem is that the debates outside of a homerun shot, are largely forgettable. Romney may gain some ground, but I don't things are going to dramatically shift.
 
Romney said trickle down government. Such a Rovian term.

And right now, this is probably a tie, with maybe a slight edge to Romney.
