Who won the debate?

[RJ]

I thought Obama's performance was an A+. That's the best debate performance I've ever seen out of him or almost any candidate for that matter. Romney was good but not A+ material.

I will concede the moderator seemed to pander just a little to Obama. There were, however, oppurtunities that Romney didn't capitalize on, such as when the black gentleman who was disappointed with Obama asked why he should vote for Romney. Also, it would have been a good strategy for Mitt to try to lighten the mood from time to time. It isn't generally a good idea for candidates to engage each other during a town hall debate, and Romney lost out on that repetitively asking about the oil leases exchange and the Libya bashing. Both candidates went over their alotted time repeatedly, but Romney argued with the moderator a little more often, particularly in the early going when he wanted to repond to Obamas "1 point" strategy comment.
