I just watched my TiVo of the debate and noticed something ...

In the beginning of the debate, romney would walk up on President Obama (when he was seated) and attempt to make his point ... but after the second question, when romney walked up on President Obama, President Obama stood up and romney stopped advancing. And towards the middle, to the end of the debate, romney was literally backing down and moving away from romney.

Someone re-watch it ... maybe I was seeing what I wanted to see.

I think you could tell the whole debate story in lurches facial expressions and how they changed over the course of the evening.

Romney - even on accident, and even if I WAS Romney, I'd move away.

But yes, I noticed the same thing in the OP.

on edit: appropriate pronouns COUNT.

and other speech patterns which were pointed out in the first debate. He did less stammering which has a poor effect getting his message across.

I read the first debate and didn't watch it in its entirety, I did see cuts of it however I did watch this one. Obama won the first one if you just read the transcript in my opinion, but the interruptions hurt him.

Romney is such a liar and this time Obama came back strong on his lies which he didn't do as aggressive in the first one.
