Both Left and Right Agree: Romney Wins First Debate

Liberals are tweeting and writing about how amazed they are that Obama performed so badly in the first debate.  Conservative pundits are saying, tweeting and writing about how euphoric they feel, how they believe Romney won the first debate decisively.

Michael Moore tweeted that Obama "sounded like a Democrat (wimpy)."

Charles Krauthammer said Romney "won by two touchdowns."

Andrew Sullivan tweeted: "This is a rolling calamity for Obama. He's boring, abstract, and less human-seeming than Romney!"

Pat Buchanan said on Fox, "I don't know how Romney could have done a better job.  He really knows his onions."

My impression:

Romney came across as knowledgeable, prepared and informed.  He also was nice, polite, and delivered his remarks in good faith, i.e. without demonizing or belittling his opponent.  He didn't lie or twist facts to his advantage.

I am delighted that the American people finally got to see Mitt Romney as he is, and not how he is spun by the mainstream media.

Stogie - I've been borderline ill leading up to this debate. Now? I knew after the first question that Romney was going to eat Obama for lunch. I'll sleep well tonight. I've had a migraine for about 9 or 10 days. Guess what? My headache is gone! Yahooooooooo...

I rarely watch Presidential debates if I have already decided for whom to vote.

Last night, I made an exception.

I'm so glad that I drank a gallon of coffee and stayed up to watch! Romney trounced the hell out of Obama. Hehehe.

BTW, my post today might give you an idea for a graphic about last night's debate.
