Who won the debate? Romney or Obama?

I notice a lot on here making a big deal of a non-issue. When Obama was not looking at Romney when Romney spoke, didn't any of you notice the pen moving? He was taking notes on what to respond with. And who's the candidate getting unfairly treated, again?

The one thing that stood out in my mind was "Boy Romney sounds like a self entitled spoiled brat whenever he had to get the last say.." Other than that, a rather dull debate.

The last world thing was one of the more interesting dynamics ...

When Obama thought he was going to have the last word he seemed to attack Romney with talking points of questionable accuracy, and Romney seemed to be willing to fight the moderator to get the time he needed to respond to those claims.

This is one of the reasons I think Obama (seemed to) perform so poorly. I could be wrong but I suspect that he was planning on "playing defence" through each of the segments and then going on the offensive at the end of each segment (assuming the moderator would stick to a strict schedule); when Romney was able to "get in the last word" and respond to Obama's "attacks" he disarmed them and seemed to "win" each segment.

I saw the complete opposite. Rmoney got the last word in with points of questionable accuracy, and there was no chance for response to those claims. You cannot say one side was doing it and not the other.
