"Obama, in referring to Romney’s plan as a $5 trillion tax cut, is basing that on the estimate of reducing tax rates by 20 percent while also extending the Bush tax cuts, two planks of the plan. Romney has argued that he can eliminate loopholes and deductions to make up that revenue but has not specified which ones.
Romney has countered that “six other studies” have found that the plan can be revenue neutral, but he’s wrong about that. Those studies actually do not provide much evidence that Romney’s proposal — as sketchy as it is — would be revenue neutral without making unrealistic assumptions." |

My impression was essentially the opposite of VaBeach's. The moderator immediately relinquished control when Romney insisted he would talk on as long as he felt like doing.
Both candidates returned to their talking points multiple times, regardless of the alleged topic, ignoring Lehrer's pleas to get back to the schedule. It may well be that no single moderator can control 2 debaters. A panel of questioners might actually have fact-checking capability, and contradict the candidate when he makes unsubstantiated claims. |

My 21-year old daughter posts:
"Tired of hearing about the election" Typical of the youth in America. This does not bode well for Obama. |

What does this tell you -
A number of people on my facebook page are abuzz about the debates last night. My 21-year old daughter posts: "Tired of hearing about the election" It has been "liked" by a whole mess of her friends. Basically, they don't really care. |

AARP want left out of the debate on Medicare.
Reverse roles last night. Romney has been villified for being not caring about the elderly and the poor. Last night The President looked like the villian that no Idea how to fix the problem, fact he lost track several time and went off into a day dream. |

I think Obama really missed his TelePrompTer last night. Maybe He should started singing again to Woo the ladies.
