Debate questioner Susan Katz (Queen Ann kisser) on CNN: NOW VOTING OBAMA!!

She's the one who appeared to be a "ringer" - asking Romney how he was different from Bush - and she kissed Queen Anne afterward.

"Last night I saw Gov Romney as someone unwilling to listen, who was used to getting his way.

She said Mrs. Obama was applauding - not the "undecided questioners."

She saw Obama as having grown, willing to listen.

Woo hoo!!!!!

giving her reaction to the debate.

At one point, the news anchor asked about the applause after Crowley corrected Romney about PBO and Lybia, and Katz said the First Lady was applauding (though clearly the applause we heard was from many). She wanted to make clear, it was not the questioners, who had agreed in advance not to applaud.

It was only toward the end of the interview that Katz was asked if she made up her mind after last night - and she went on to say she had: she's voting for Obama (again).

Apparently the applause issue is a scrap of meat the right wing blogosphere is tearing away at today.

but the kiss photo had me second guessing. I am really starting to think Obama won big last night. Feeling much better.

There was a time when my kids could meet President Bush....I could not stand Bush, but thought it was a chance of a life time....meeting a sitting President...so I have a picture of my kids with the First Lady and the President who I can't stand....something to hold over their heads when they get older

But I can see where this woman would think it was a chance she probably would never have....so good on her

I am actually jealous that she got to witness the debate in person.

specifics.

Obama answered some of the criticisms - and seems "to have a better head on his shoulders."

Sounds like 2 of the 3 are going Obama for sure.

Compare actions & body language; Katz kissing Ann Romney without hesitation on the part of either, v. her body language & President's as she passed him leaving the room. These visuals completely contradict her words in my opinion. Oh yes and mentioning that Mrs. Obama was applauding rather than the others in the audience?? Doesn't add up to me.

With Willard failing that comparison, miserably. Today, Katz was on TV saying Obama impressed her, he listens to people rather than just talking at them, and she's voting for him.

If she's secretly pro-Willard, she's the worst ringer ever! She did everything she could yesterday and today to promote Obama.
