Well Obama obviously didn't lose, so it's good news for him.

I personally think he outright won, but I have my doubts about the country as a whole.

Romney started off with a good answer on the first question but rapidly disintegrated over the course of the debate. Obama's experience carried the day, and Mitt's meltdown at the end sealed the deal.

Gotta call it a (narrow) Obama win.
 
CLOSING

Obama

- Have made real progress digging out of policies that gave us two prolonged wars
and a horrible economy.
- Will build on our strenghts. Improving manufacturing jobs. Investing in retraining workers for jobs of tomorrow.

Good job, Oneils.
Thank you for your work.
 
What about Schwarzenegger

if i remember correctly, when schwarzenegger was considering running it would have required a constitutional amendment. george romney wasnt controversial because his parents were american. my sarcasm was because of the contortions the birthers were going through to make obama appear foreign as they continued to move the goal post (he was born in kenya! his father wasnt born in the US! hawaii!)

Romney's gonna get nailed to the wall on the auto bailout. That NYT article is gonna be posted everywhere.

Won't stop picking the right nation
he closes that by saying managed bankruptcy. im not even convinced its the wrong plan, but he did say it. he did say the government should be involved, which obama implied he didnt. certainly its not as black and white as either of them implied.
"IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed."

Seems pretty black and white to me.
Eh, that's not really contradicting what he said. It says he wanted them to shed debt and restructure, hire new management etc etc.

He basically said that just now in the debate.
The issue is that GM and Chrysler probably wouldn't have been able to do that without a government loan.

If Obama isn't the landslide winner of this debate in all polls, something has gone horribly wrong. Romney looked like he had no idea what he was talking about on almost every issue. Where there was distance from the President on foreign policy, Mitt couldn't give any specifics on exactly what he would do differently.
