finally on.
First off, I think BS did a nice job as moderator.
I am not going to argue the Newt/Palen/Romney who is the better. The point is we have one, it is Romney. May not be the best but anything is better than BO.
I think Romney won the debate. He won on form and substance. He did not let His Excellency draw him into any traps or to have it deconstruct into he said no he did not say thing. The more BO’s strategy failed, the more desperate he looked. Romney basically called him a liar three times about positions he has taken and was proved right each time. The one I loved was the car company bankrupty when he totally undercut BO’s assertion he saved the car companies by a simple “oh by the way, Bush started the help to them” and then went on to say he was in favor of guarantees for loans and warrantees. Barry said his usual check the record comment and this time no help was forthcoming.
Lastly, on the economy, Romney made the connection to a bad economy to national security and then demolished BO’s record. Any open minded person should have been swayed. Considering the BO did not have near 50% of the vote in any swing state, he is sure to lose most if not all of them based on the results of this and other debates along with the proven fact that uncommitted swing to the challengers almost always.
Going into the debate I figured Romney would garner 272-275 electoral votes, I think that may be conservative now.
All IMO of course.
But Romney did lure in Obama, and get him on record with lots of lies and belligerent behavior.
Kudos for Romney for keeping his powder dry while luring Oboe out.
