Obama was slow in the beginning, but in the end he made sense. He is a socialist who is trying to fix America from corporations. Romney is a retard. He tells the people what he will do but was not specific at all. Few words that he stated like 'free market', 'competition', 'increase military budget', 'less taxes' that reminded a lot like Bush and his policies....

Obama lead only 3% point before the debate by the latest Wall Street journal poll and it might get closer on the next poll. One month to go anything can happen. May the lucky man wins.

3% of likely voters vs registered voters lead is a good lead. presidents win by lesser margins . Plus he leads in states that matter...on electoral counts
Only if you don't pay attention to polls across the board. The man is never under rather has been over...

Obama didn't lose the debate. Leftists were hoping for a Street style brawl.
Romney flip-flopped on his plans.
The first Presidential Debate always favors the challenger, it allows him/her to stand on a stage as an equal to the President of the US of A. Romney will get a few points but in the next debate Americans will see a more solid Obama. He will pull off the gloves a little.
Obama was the 1 of the 2 people, on stage, to act Presidential.

67% think Romney won debate: poll
DENVER -- Mitt Romney battled back in his uphill drive to oust U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday with an aggressive debate performance that put his campaign on a more positive footing after weeks of stumbles and knocked Obama off-stride.
In the first of three presidential debates this month, Romney went beyond expectations as the two candidates stood side-by-side for the first time after months of campaigning against each other from long distance.
Looking to claw his way back into a race that has seen Obama hold an edge among voters, Romney was on the offensive throughout the 90-minute encounter with Obama. While the president landed some punches on Romney's tax plan, he did not appear as prepared as his rival and missed several opportunities to attack.
With under five weeks to go until the Nov. 6 election, it was uncertain whether Romney had managed to change the trajectory of a race that has favored Obama. It is difficult to dislodge an incumbent from the White House. In recent weeks, Romney has lurched from stumble to stumble and been unable to project a consistent message.
“How does it translate into the horse race? That's unclear,” said Steven Schier, a political science professor at Carleton College in Minnesota. “Romney should have some momentum. The question is whether he can maintain it.”
But there was no question that Romney's campaign felt it was now in a better position. In the “spin room” afterward, Romney advisers hung around for 90 minutes talking to reporters, long after the Obama side had decamped.
A CNN/ORC snap poll said 67 percent of registered voters surveyed thought Romney won the debate at the University of Denver, compared with 25 percent for Obama.

Both candidates offer bad policies, it's just that President Obama had a worse time defending with his arguments and few, if any of the attacks he made on Romney stuck. While Romney did have a few stumbles, he mostly came out of the debate in a better position.
