Definitely Romney ahead so far. More coherent. Obama does not look good.

[fatima]

Obama ignored him.Is he afraid to look at Romney.

[lwoodham]

Romney just kicked Obama in the teeth and won this debate !!!!

[South40]

Where is Barry’s southern accent like the one he had in the 2007 video?

[COUNTrecount]

Barry is looking very pale. Mitt slamming Hussein.

[JFC]

MITT OVERRIDES LEHRER ...BONUS POINTS

[Fresh Wind]

Mitt just called Barry a liar.

[dmd25]

“I cannot BEAR to watch Obama, . . “ Me neither. I have never been able to watch or listen to him. Even though I disagree with just about every word that comes out of his mouth, I tried to listen early on to understand why people thought he was such a good speaker. I never could understand. I think he is a terrible orator. He is condescending in word and tone, his inflection is very odd, and of course then there are the 'uhs' and 'ums.' I was going to try to watch, but I don't think I can.

Going back to when GWB was running, I decided my favorite way to "watch" a debate is just to keep track of the FR thread and read people's comments! It is much less nerve-wracking. :)

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates economy tax crushing. food prices up. midle income families are being crushed just like Biden says. Romney is so compelling #debates they are giving Romney so much time. This long answer is enough to win the whole debate. Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates good answer on energy. federal lands. Obama makes eye contact with the ground. Without a teleprompter, he doesnt make eye conta Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Romney's recitation of econoic defects was killing. Obama is doing well in posing the 7 trillion quesiton. He looks nervous

[Viennacon]

I SAW THAT. Did you see his teeth when Romney did the line about his sons. He’s visibly shaken.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

My son, who is in a petrol engineering program—just texted me. Kids watching debate—shouts when Romney said “I love coal.” Woo yeah....kids getting it!

Go Mitt!!!

[SE Mom]

He’s TEACHING people. I LOVE IT.

[CheneyChick]

Barry can’t think on his feet.

[Auntie Mame]

I agree, BHO is really doing terrible and he looks incredibly rattled and actually pissed. I wonder if we’re going to see a melt-down here. It’s really possible from the way BHO looks. Ooh, I can’t wait!
