Why Are People Saying Romney Won The Debate?

[radioheid]

He couldn't answer a single question, couldn't give any details...he just blew hot air over and over about Obama's policies without explaining how his would work better, even when given the opportunity. All I heard was "cut PBS", "repeal Obamacare", constant interruptions and politely telling Jim Lehrer to shut up. This wins the debate???

Quoting ms-superwoman:

Because apparently rude and disrespectful = winner.

[Whaaaaaa....O.o]

Ummm. Romney gave plans and specifics. Did we even watch the same debate?

Are you watching it online by chance? I had to put the kid down and didn't get a chance to catch most of it; just bits and pieces. I want to watch it but I can't find anything but real time analysis.

Quoting tiffyhamm:

I felt that Obama presented better arguments, but on sone things he should have pressed Romney on. I admit I was so upset with how the Pres. presented himself and his arguments during the debate that I got caught up in how theatrical Romney was and based my reaction off the debate on that. I'm watching the debate again and I'm thinking I may have gotten it wrong in saying Romney won. I'm thinking that many others initially felt as I have about this one.

Quoting Sisteract:

He had a more aggressive presentation.

Although he presented no mathematically viable economic  or hc plan.

It was Obama's "huh's." He had these long pauses that made it uncomfortable to listen to him. It was driving me nuts.

He did seem more eloquent, and Obama unprepared.

I wouldn't say it was that Mitt won, but that president Obama lost.  Mitt, like you said, was a lot of hot air. He spent more time turning every question to how Obama was doing things wrong, instead of how he planned to do things right.

We recorded it. I wish I could tell you where to find you it online, but I have no idea.

 Which debate did you watch?  I must have missed the one you saw. 

[glitterteaz]

THat is what me and hubby are saying he was aggressive yes but offered nothing. He is a big fat nothing but rich entitled attitude. I am dissappointed Obama didn't nail his ass to a fence with his 47% BS.

Quoting radioheid:

Right, but how do they figure? Romney offered nothing but a return to the Bush era that got us into the mess we're in now.

Quoting smalltowngal:

CNN's poll that just came out said 67% said Romney won and 25% said Obama won. 

 The problem with the Bush era was a couple of wars..Obama has DOUBLED the problems he "inherited" from Bush. 

[HIJKLM]

Honestly I don't think either did a good job at the debate. I still agree more with obama's policies and very much disagree with romney's
