At this point, I wish the question didnt come up at all. Obama didnt even answer the initial question and then it turned into a fiasco with the coverage afterwards focusing on the moderator and that Libya mess.

While its great that Libya is now getting more attention and the WH and Obama have more questions to answer, the best of the debate is ignored. Romney tore Obama apart on the economy and his record. Many polls on that subject show that. Obama had little or nothing to say in response to Romneys substance and careful dismantling of Obama's record and failures on the economy and even on energy.

At least it is clear that many did see this when you look at detailed polls.

On that same token, Romney couldn't answer the undecided voter on which deductions he'll try to strip away from the middle class, his flip flopping between the GOP primaries, earlier in the campaign season and what he spouts today, his plan for the economy, equal pay for women unless you count being able to go home and make dinner for the kids valid, not understanding how corporations receive deductions by going overseas or avoid taxes for prolonged periods of time for their overseas ventures, not having capital gains in his deductions to be removed, etc.

Don't worry. Romney TOTALLY DOMINATED on the issue MOST important to voters...

...on some key issues, Romney came out on top, including an 18-point lead on the economy.

Mitt Romney was seen as better able to handle the economy, taxes, and the budget deficit

Romney has an 18-point lead on the issue MOST important to voters.

So... Romney wins on the issue most important to voters:
Priorities

Romney dominated in the debate. No worries. And the Libya issue will come up big time next week.

With narrative today by media/liberals being binders, helps prove Obama really failed on key issue substance. Obama could not even defend himself on economy and jobs.

Well, at least with candy cane coming out and saying that she was wrong when about obama saying it was a terrorist attack, will remind some people that are tuned in that obama flat out lied during the debate about it.

It would have been nice had Obama actually answered the question. His avoidance of it is key:

We were sitting around talking about Libya, and we were reading and became aware of reports that the State Department refused extra security for our embassy in Benghazi, Libya, prior to the attacks that killed four Americans. Who was it that denied enhanced security and why?


And note that Candy, did not ask the President to actually answer the question after he dodged it.

Word is getting out bigtime that Candy was in the tank for clown Obozo. People don't like that. Candy did the worse moderating in the history of presidentail debates. Hell, Candy interrupted Romney 28 times and Obozo only 8 times. It was obvious to anyone (even a small child) that Obozo was receiving help from the moderator. So...Romney outshined Obozo once again on substance and facts, and Obozo flunked on everything even after receiving blantantly obvious preferential help. Romney wiped the debate floor with the clown's butt!!!

It's much easier for a liar and flip-flopper to win a debate (even though Romney didn't). Just tailor your position to suit the audience of the day.

So once again, the repugnican Congress has nothing to do with economy.
Here's your "Obama" economic and jobs record, thanks to repugnican obstructionism and 300+ filibusters over 4 years.

Attempting to destroy the country for political gain in November is tantamount to treason.
