Luntz Focus Group Unloads on Obama After Debate - Hot Air - In my estimation, (Ed Morrissey) last night’s debate was a draw. Both men did what they needed to do for the debate, but neither had enough of a breakout performance to make much of a difference in the race. I’d expect to see very little impact to the Mitt-mentum that developed after the first debate, for reasons which I’ll address in a moment. That wasn’t the conclusion reached by Frank Luntz’ focus group of former Barack Obama voters, and now undecideds, in Nevada. That panel overwhelmingly chose Mitt Romney as the winner, with observations about Romney’s presidential mien and Obama’s defensiveness and lack of vision for a second term. But one woman, whom (as Luntz jokes) bears a strong resemblance to Ruth Bader Ginsburg, neatly sums up the status of many undecideds, as well as Obama’s big problem with these debates: Read more..... Steve Peters Commentary: A majority of the voters now get it and Romney will be our next President if we ALL work our hearts out between now and election day and get our voters to the polls to make it happen. Romney will continue to rise another 2-4 %, because he has made it OK in the minds of a majority the voters to..........just let Obama go. He solidified his position with those that switched since the first presidential debate, while winning the majority of the remaining undecided voters last night.

Dick Morris - Romney Won the Debate - Fox - By scoring big on the economy, gas prices, and Libya, Romney continued his victorious string of debate wins. He looked more presidential than Obama did and showed himself to be an articulate, capable, attractive, compassionate leader with sound ideas. Obama came over as boorish and Biden-esque. He did not learn from his Vice President's mistakes. When a president gets into a bar room brawl, he loses his dignity and his aura, key assets for an incumbent. Romney was polite but firm. Obama seemed quarrelsome, frustrated, nasty, and cranky. But the key reason for the Romney win was substantive: 1. Romney made very clear the case against Obama's economic record and Obama's rebuttal about 5 million jobs was pathetic. 2. Romney injected the China issue, big time, and tapped into a strong public sentiment on the issue. 3. Romney made the effective case that Obama is anti-oi, coal, and gas and that this has doubled gas prices. 4. Romney was very effective in differentiating himself from Bush-43 and in establishing that, unlike the GOP of the past, he was for small businesses not big businesses. Read more.....
CNN's Crowley First Plays Umpire, Then Joins Team Obama - Fox - In the baseball playoffs, the tie goes to the runner. In debates, ties are decided by the moderator and that’s what happened during the Tuesday night presidential debate at Hofstra University in New York. CNN’s Candy Crowley made her presence felt as a moderator in a major way on two points, but none larger than the issue of Libya. The terrorist attack that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and four others in Benghazi has become a sore point for Obama, but Crowley made sure she called Romney out before Obama could tag him. When Romney said Obama had not called the attack an act of terror for 14 days, Crowley interrupted and said: “It -- it -- it -- he did in fact, sir. So let me -- let me call it an act of terror.” Read more.....
