Lehrer looks like he has Post-traumatic stress disorder. He allows "Mr President" an extra minute on each topic while keeping strict time on Romney.

I am no big fan of Mittens. But: Fire. I see fire in his eyes. Mitt is alive. He looks amused and or pitying when he watches Obama sputter and wander verbally.

States rights. 10th amendment. Constitution defends life. God-given rights.

AND Romney needs to stop addressing his responses to Obama,

I disagree. This is a Presidential Debate, and that is exactly what one does during a debate. Look the other person in the eyes, and address them.

It is rude to respond to someone and not look at them. Note that Romney listens to Obama and keeps his eyes on him while Obama talks.

What does Obama do? Well... he's doodling on a piece of paper, eyes down. He's PRETENDING to be taking notes.

“Oh my goodness, Obama is absolutely incoherent! He’s making no sense at all.”

I don’t like Romney, but good grief, he’s powned Obozo. It’s down right painful watching the debate.

Interesting the DUmmies are so upset — I suppose it’s their inflated belief in Obama’s supposed gift or oratory. I’m moderately pleased. With 10 min to go, unless there’s a horrible gaffe or a knock-out punch in the last 10 minutes, I’ll score it as a narrow win for Romney.

BEST COMMENT OF THE EVENING:

I was listening to the John Batchelor Show tonight. He had as a guest Larry Johnson of www.NoQuarter.com. Larry summed up the debate this way:

"If Barack Obama were a MOP, you could film a floor cleaning product commercial with him!"

ROFLMAO

I’ve cringed a couple times at that. Mitt has pointed out at different points that health care and education should be left up to the individual states.

Just said: Romney has no plans to cut education funding... Unfortunately.

Finally a GOP candidate is politely but firmly calling a dem on his lies and not letting it sit. I like that Romney is doing that.

Mr. Obama’s eyeliner looks ludicrous.

Why didn’t they tell us that tonight’s debate would be broadcast live from the woodshed?

RE :”For what it’s worth, I walked through the sewer that is DU and for the most part they are not happy with Obama’s performance at all.

I been gettin some grief here for being critical of Mitt but I can tell that he is prepared for this and O isnt.
It must be all that debate experience MR got this year debating while O smiled and joked on the View and Latenight.

The first hour Mittens creamed him. It was refreshing to watch. Loved the joke about O picking all the losers.

Yes, lurking on unhappy DUers is much fun.
