In 1960 I listened to the Nixon-Kennedy debate on radio and I was confident that Nixon won.. yes it is true what people say about that debate vis-a-vis radio v. TV

I have no TV so I listened on the radio tonight. I did not think that Obama won but I thought that he did pretty good and I could see how his supporters could claim victory.. I was surprised to see the disappointment posted on the web by so many Obama supporters..

then I saw a couple of video clips and I could understand the grieving from the Obama side about how poorly he did.

I had the same take you did, William. I was at work last night, and only heard snippets on the radio, as the debate was going on.

I felt then that Rommney did not deliver the "knockout blow" he would need to prevail, and the debate was basically a draw. It appears that others across the country feel otherwise, on both sides.

I have yet to see video of the event, which may go far in explaining the discrepancy between my take on the results and those of others...
