This is not a town hall meeting. The predictions/complaints about Candy were spot on.

I wonder if she will get criticized... although she did say she wasn't going to stick to any scripts.

I would say up to this point she seems to be slightly favoring the President unfortunately. Romney looks foolish trying to get more time and standing around waiting for it.

Judy Judge should have did this! She would have rocked this debate!

Eh, this doesn't change anything.

Libya is a big deal... and what happened tonight was a disgrace on the part of the President and Crowley. The administration was clearly pushing the narrative that the Libya incident was from outrage over a video... not that it was terrorism.

I thought this was a very good debate; the best one so far this election. I didn't learn anything new having read about the issues in advance, but got a better feel for the priority of issues and passion of the candidates.

I think Romney was very successful in highlighting specifically all of the 2008 Obama promises that weren't kept or attempted during his term. Obama did a good job of highlighting how Romney is kinda like Gumby; he's much more moderate on some issues than he was in the past because it's beneficial in winning over a broader base.

The next debate is on Monday and focuses on Foreign Policy. I'm sure we'll hear about the Libya killings again.

I'm now decided. As a middle class small business owner, I can't afford to invest four more years in Obama. Romney needs to provide more detail behind his plans (though Obama really provided none other than asking for more time to meet overdue extended committments imo) and I'm still bothered by Romney's lack of financial specifics. But, I think Romney is better qualified to improve the economy and stimulate business. As a woman, my vote means compromising on some important issues that just aren't as important as employment and the economy overall. I hope this county is much healthier four years from now.

I think that's probably a mistake.

I wasn't planning on factoring social issues too heavily in to this election (gay marriage, pro-choice etc.) although I gather there's a good chance the next POTUS will nominate 1 or 2 SCJ's. *sigh*

An interesting Fact Checking article. Not biased toward either side.

I thought they were going to start whacking each other for a second there. I had this vision of both of them rolling around on the floor screaming like girls.
