they both talked over the moderator about the same amount of times.  In the end, Obama ended up with almost 5 minutes more of speaking time than romney did.  I say Obama was on the defensive more because of the actual words they were speaking.  Obama was defending his policies a lot more than romney was defending his own.  Romney also threw out more attacks at Obama than vice versa.  

Romney wasn't defensive, he was agressive, that is what you were noticing.  There is a very large difference.  

I disagree wtih your definition of aggressive...using distractions, such as pointing the presidents record out ad nauseum in an effort to mask that you have no actual solutions of your own (anything he did offer was abstract at best), is more of a tactical retreat and is therefore defensive behavior.

now that is a perfect example of "spin" if I ever saw it.

Somehow, attacking the presidents record is now a defensive move instead of an offensive move.  So, by your logic, if romney had been deffending his own policies he would have been on the offense?
