Romney certainly had a better performance. Obama wasn't engaged and didn't put up a fight when he should have.

It was really a lame debate. The questions were bland, the time management terrible and Lehrer didn't challenge anything that was said.

Romney's claims of Obama gutting Medicare or that his tax plan doesn't add 5T to the deficit were easy to counter...Obama said the right things, he just didn't do it with any assertiveness.

The lack of specifics by Romney/Ryan on their tax plan is a massive liability in their platform.

Romney's assertion that he wouldn't approve any tax breaks that would require deficit spending is about as close to a blatant lie as you can get.
