personally I prefer the blue dots to the red stripe.
That's just your partisanship speaking, right?

Romney has been much more impressive so far.

Romney has been more impressive overall so far - but he's trying to talk too fast. Obama's opposite problem, his plodding manner of speech, is only making Romney's rushed speaking seem even more exaggerated.

Yes, the appearance continues to be that Romney is winning the debate.

I like how Romney looks at Obama while he talks, speaks to confidence in his ideas rather than confidence in his ability to give a speech.

To both their credits, they seem to be managing to steer relatively clear of the truly mindless, trivial, gotcha-style zingers that are often so common in these kinds of events.

If I hear Obama say A-A-H-N-D one more time, I will up-chuck.

OTOH Romney's one-sided, sort of pitying smile is JUST as irritating in a different way (talk about condescending!). He is literally supercilious (check out his eyebrows).

Where he's ahead, is the rhythm of his speech, nicely punctuated with hand motions (FWIW I suspect he's had Botox).
I really wish the BOTH of them would speak to the central camera (i.e. "ME"). Only Obama does this - at least, occasionally.

That's weird that the PBS radio personality gets overwhelmed by two presidential candidates.

Romney seems in a palpably higher league than McCain or Bush.

Who'da thunk that being a successful businessman would come out in the wash more than being the son of a president or being a war hero.

Romney understands the positive imagery that wider-open eyes conveys; Obama's half-open eyes (actually, "normal" eyes) convey a smug or disconnected attitude.

Tough room. Here I mean.

Now Obama invokes The Genius Of The American People. You know them. The Guys Who Didn't Built That.
