Late thoughts on the debate

Weasel Zippers; CNN Poll: 67% Say Romney Won Debate, Only 25% For Obama…


BREAKING: Results of CNN-ORC Post-Debate flash poll. Who won the debate: Romney 67%, Obama 25%. +_ 4%. 

Thomas Lifson at American Thinker opines: Romney triumphs in first debate  "The only question is how far the polls will move in Romney's direction. And whether this weak performance by the president will demoralize his campaign. Obama appears to [have] been overmatched and outclassed.
"The body language clearly [showed] Romney was in charge. Obama frequently looked down when Romney was speaking or made a point, and Romney looked right at Obama with clear eyes."
""Where was Obama tonight? He should watch -- well, not just Hardball, Rachel, he should watch you, he should watch the Reverend Al [Sharpton], he should watch Lawrence."
""What was Romney doing?" Matthews asked. "He was winning." "

"Appearing more vigorous than he often is on the campaign trail, Romney painted Obama’s first term as a time of rising poverty, slowing economic growth and struggle for millions of Americans. He pushed his own plans to lower taxes and bring down the federal deficit, saying his approach would revive the sputtering economy."
