Lehrer has no control on this debate, just disgusting.

I think most people have made up their minds already. The debate certainly didn't change my mind. If anything, it reinforced my views. Voters have a clear choice between the two. No one should be confused about the two. Their views are right there, crystal clear.

He's got a sweet gift of gab,
He's got a harmonious tongue,
He know's every song of love that ever has been sung,
He'll put both his arms around you,
You can feel the tender touch of the beast.

I'd say Romney got the best of it tonight but still no specifics.

Romney was the clear winner. He was armed with facts and defended American values well. Well done.

I didn't watch the whole thing - and I have to admit I was pretty much decided Obama should have more time. What I did see, however, made me question the promises the President was making, it just sounded like deja Vu. Hmmmmm.

Romney did an awesome job refuting what Obama thought Romney's positions were. Obama kept throwing himself under the bus, and kept on backing up over himself. I hate to say it, it was getting pretty predictable, the same old talking point lines that Obama's been using promoting his special interests. Romney TKO'd him in the first five minutes!!! Romney was very prepared. Obama showed just how inexperienced he still is after four years as President. Such a shame. Betcha round two goes just like round one. Any takers?

One added thought: I really, really think Obama would have done much better WITH a teleprompter. Wouldn't have looked like a deer in the headlights. The debate I really want to see is the Ryan / Biden debate. If this one was a home run for Romney, Ryan's gonna hit a grand slam! Set the DVR for your kids and grandkids to remember it by.

Romney was clearly the winner in this debate. Obama spewed the same old
schmuck that we've heard the last 4 years which is absolutely nothing. Just rants
on & on & says absolutely nothing. Romney was specific & kept coming at Obama hard. Romney was more prepared, Obama seemed like he just wanted it to be over
with.

Name me the "specific" solutions that Romney added in this debate. The only thing he was specific on is the same thing you have heard him say over and over... He wa coached for dozens of hours and you can see it paid off. Debaters go on key words, then go off with a memorized position.
However, he still added nothing to what he will do.

No commentary just vote.
Romney gets my vote

What in the hell did Obama clarify?? Nothing! He looked and sounded like a lost lamb!!!! Baaa baaaa!

Obama had his dumb smirky look on his face when he knew Romney had his back up against the ropes!!

Question I'd like submitted: What does each candidate have in mind for the poor, disabled, mentally ill people. Without the appropriate psychiatric medication management, and therapy if needed, these people CANNOT live a lifestyle that contributes to society, let alone care for themselves. No one can live their best life, if they are not mentally stable. And...mental illness is no one's fault, and the mentally ill person cannot be blamed, if appropriate care is not available to them. Right now, psychiatry and counseling is almost non-existent for these people. Just look at all the mental health centers in Chicago that have closed. Did other psychiatrists pick up those patients? NO!!! It's the same story, no matter where they live. Please address this issue, presidential candidates.

Seems clear that romney won the first one, to me it seemed like Obama and his campaign took a few uppercuts from the GOP. Can't wait for Ryan v Biden on thursday, should be a good one, but I think Ryan has got the upper hand going in because of his vocalness.

I just do not understand why many people do not see that Obama is deliberately doing what he can to destroy our nation. He Invites Muslim Brotherhood into the White House, Adds Trillions of $ of debt to our kids and grandkids, he Reduces the amount of drilling/exploration of oil on public land, he shuts down drilling of oil in the Gulf (against court order), He states that he will purposely "bankrupt coal companies" and that he wants our enegry rates/costs to " necesarily skyrocket", he persomally states and records that "if the political winds change he WILL side with the Muslims", He actually bows to an Egyptian leader, Pushes and enacts a law that makes you/me actually pay for somebody elses contraceptives/abortions and people are OK with this???? I'm sure I'm missing a lot here, but come on people, can you not see that this person is trying to destroy our nation from within?? The sad part is, when YOU wake up and actually see it - it may be too late!!!!

Cant agree more tom.... we are so stupid to fall for all of these shenanigans .... reminds me of 9/11... we all know the cia blew up the trade center to get us into a war and make billions.... dont even get me started on the Holocaust ...

Tom, I dont see anything wrong in what you wrote! However, you must realize the part Jews play in all of this. Theres a lot of "duals" in our government and theyve been theyre a long time. In the end, these two candidates are both bought and paid for.
