Mitt Romney Won the Second Debate
U.S. News & World Report ^ | October 17, 2012 | Peter Roff

Having had a night's sleep to reflect on things, Tuesday night's debate between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is starting to feel more like the challenger scored a narrow victory.

The instant analysis, which I helped provide as part of the U.S. News & World Report opinion team's live blogging of the event, lends itself to snap judgments made in the heat of the moment.

This entire narrative about debate ‘points’ is ridiculous. The debate was a one-sided sham.

The moderator didn’t do her job. She allowed Obama to repeatedly interrupt, she didn’t time them correctly, she interjected her own views and she joined the debate.

What the heck was she doing with the transcript and how did Obama know she had that transcript right on her podium?

I’d say the reported explosion of death threats against Romney is proof positive that Obama lovers think Romney won last night.
