I think Mitt's strategy was to play it safe and be presidential. Obama was petty and appeared to be desparate; he didn't seem presidential. Romney did exactly what he intended to do. Romney will be the next president.

The "Jerry Springer" crowd will see the President as the winner, where rudeness and crass behavior is the order of the day. But Gov Romney kept his composure, acted Presidential, and gave the best closing, showing that if you re-elect the President, not only will you get what you have had for 4 years, but even more.
Who the heck wants that?
