They really tried. But it isn't working. People are not being swayed and the polls are opening up for Romney.

Perhaps when compared to his abysmal performance in Denver he did considerably better, though that wasn't a very high bar to achieve. But although Romney failed to push through a few points that he could've easily made, he did mostly keep his composure and didn't allow Obama to totally knock him off course. I too would have to call this a draw at the absolute least, mostly because it would've been very hard for Romney to top his earlier performance, or for Obama to do worse.

Obama is a classic profile in that mental disorder. NO question.<br /><br />He has done nothing but pursue political power his entire life. I wonder where he goes from here? If he's not re-elected, I don't see him retiring quietly to Hawaii. Just like Carter and Clinton, Democrats never seem content to leave the political spot light.

The questions were going to be pre-screened, the moderator firmly pulling for Obama, the game was rigged. And Obama was going to "get aggressive". So Romney's best response was to maintain his composure and make his points when he could. All he had to do last night was not LOSE ground. He did that. In fact, I believe that in the final analysis, when the media dustup has settled about how Obama MAY have won, we will all see that Romney held his own and looked like a much more knowledgeable and just plain nicer guy. Like Ryan and Biden.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10201235659652895050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-555191244102972923.post-60629030168150269342012-10-17T08:04:27.619-07:002012-10-17T08:04:27.619-07:00From what's trickling down through the interwi...From what's trickling down through the interwiz, the undecideds were swung towards Romney, which is good, I guess.
