He let Obama take so much extra time, and let Romney and Obama both talk over him when he tried to switch topics or cut them off. I was totaling extra time past part 2 (Above 2 minutes) and got Romney : 0:47 extra Obama: 7:02 extra Yes, I think Romney is the winner of that one. I'm surprised how well Romney did. I expected Obama to destroy him, given how bad Romney was before this debate. He must have been practicing a lot o.O Regardless of specific timing, I think we can all agree the moderator was way too passive. He also gave Romney virtually every last word (I say virtually because I probably missed one). | ||

edit And StealthBlue makes a good point, Romney flopped so hard on some of his policies tonight, god I hope we see Obama hang him with all the rope he gave him tonight. | ||

Yes, public speaking and composure does have a presence in the overall debates, but this is ludicrous; all Romney did was give a good performance on his party's lies. Anything in politics is always about who is the better liar, but at least Obama made me feel like I was an adult and didn't imply that his opponent was ill-suited for the job, as Romney did multiple times. The mudslinging and lies needs to be kept to a minimum, and I think Obama did just that. | ||

It's not a perfect system, but it's a definite improvement over mandatory schools. so you go, if your poor, i guess you cant go? come on man that really isnt the best response, i know you can do better then this. This is the problem that people see, this idea will only increase funding for the better schools because now they will have more students, and will kill the lesser schools that only the poor can go to | ||

Have you actually got Romney's platform from Romney or do you listen to Democrats tell you what Romney's platform is? If you have been doing the latter then obviously you are surprised when you hear him defend himself. | ||

it all comes down to basic fear instincts. who do you fear the most? which group has the most to fear? etc. right now romney is down in the pits because some seniors fear him. some of the small business people and soon to retire professionals are also queasy. he did not win the fear issues for healthcare/medicare and there won't be that big of a bounce either way from all this. the debates are mostly for show except when vital interests are engaged. | ||

I went to North highschool despite the fact that West highschool had better programs, if i was able to attend west, how am i to get there? we dont have a good buss route, if im poor and dont have a car i cant walk the 10+ miles to get to the other school when my school is only one mile away. There is a logistical problem to getting to better schools for the poor I have no clue about the travelling issues in your country. But even if you have 2 schools directly besides eachother, one rated great and one terrible. What do you get? An empty school and a school which is completly filled to the top (--> it will get worse). Despite the fact that those ratings would get faked anyways, whats the point of this? If you put out a prize for the best schools, bad schools will even get worse. If you help only bad schools, the chance of faking shit will even get higher. | ||

The parents, the poor parents, get the money directly and then can choose which school they send their child too. If the parents choose to send their child to a failing school that is their own fault. | ||

Obama should not let Romney get away with murder like that ... But how? You can't just point at a guy and say they're full of shit. Romney has literally said the exact opposite of some of his claims tonight. | ||
