Who won the debate? Romney or Obama?

I find it so fascinating that people of other nations would watch our presidential debates. I think this is a fundamental difference between the US and other countries. There is a reason 2/3 of Americans 18-24 cannot find Iraq on a map. It all starts with education, and we are taught (IMO) that other countries have no impact on us. It is very sad.

Glad we agree that Obama is detrimental to the US. (The average American scares the hell out of me.)

I'm British, btw.

Don't worry, we don't pay attention to any other countries, really, just the US.

I'm currently living in Hong Kong... the Presidential debate is all over the news, here. Usually goes in to how Romney will label China a "currency cheat". I was surprised when I moved here, and started talking to people... they all knew who Romney was.

In the UK, it's not entirely rare that people don't even know who our rulers are. I would wager more than 70% of the population couldn't name more than 2 or 3 current cabinet members.

yeah, same could be said for americans to be honest.  I mean, I follow politics pretty extensively, and I can only think of Clinton off of the top of my head.  I mean, I know most of the other cabinet members, but Clinton's name is the only one I can think of right now.  I could google search and that would probably jog my memory, but I would say most Americans couldn't name their cabinet members either.
