He rallied his teabagger base, that's pretty much it. He still avoided any specifics on his "plans", he still lied his ass off, and he still is disliked by the majority of americans!

Like you said, he never laid a glove on the president!

President Obama was his worst enemy last night. Two big rallies the day after do nothing to change that. President Obama had a chance to seal the deal with 60 million people last night and he let Romney lie, grossly distort and bully him and the moderator around.

You either use your legs to move, to jab, and to counter punch and never let him get set to punch or you back him up. Obama wasn't able to keep him off so he should have come forward himself to back him up and get in his face. Romney doesn't fight well backing up, when he's taken out of his game plan. Good fighters learn to change their plan in the middle of a fight and adjust to their opponent. Obama was like a rusty fighter who hasn't been in the ring in awhile and who's lost his timing. He'll do better next time.

I don't think debates change many minds, but clearly Obama tanked last night. May he do better in the next one.
