Who Won Final Presidential Debate?

Romney lost. He agreed with almost every policy of the President. He was weak and he might as well not have been there. He flip flopped like a fish, ran to the center like he was running away from a fire and he got schooled by the President.

"You mentioned the Navy and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets." - Obama
Obama owned his ass. Even the right wing commentators were unhappy with Romney's performance tonight.

I agree. The differences on foreign policy were trivial. It puts the election squarely on domestic economic issues which is where Obama is weak. Romney did not hurt himself. Obama did not have a chance to help himself.

Obama did nothing to reverse the momentum of Romney.

Romney won.

I have no idea what Romney was thinking. He let Obama walk all over him. I think he was playing a "prevent defense", trying to protect his lead. He doesn't have a lead. He needed a win, and he was offered it, but he tossed it way.

The President did look rude, boorish and condescending, but Romney did not respond with any life.

Looks like one of my predictions may come true. Obama will be re-elected.

And there are more soldiers and Marines today than there were on June 1, 1916, and horses were "replaced" by trucks -- and Odumbo is an enormous ignoramus if he hasn't noticed the U.S. military has a substantially larger inventory of trucks today than it did horses in 1916.
I think Romney has made the calculation he has presented himself as a plausible alternative. That's ok here we come 2016 who will the Republicans put as their nominee

He also spent time focusing on Obama's major weakness - the domestic economy. No reason for the current trend to stop or reverse. Obama is in trouble.

Romney lost. Plain and simple. The President gave Romney every opportunity to show how dismal Obama's foreign policy is, and Romney let it slide. If Romney's objective was to keep the ball in the park, he did that. But the President managed to hit a hell of a lot of doubles and triples. To continue the metaphor, Romney left a whole lot of men on base. It was awful.

Romney was much more respectful, but that doesn't win elections. He's not far enough ahead to play to "not lose". He still needs to play to win. He didn't do that.
