The last Debate!  Who do you guys think won and why?  Did anything surprise you?  Did the debate sway you in any way?  What stuck out to you?

I think this one was too close to call

how can you think that when it hasn't started?

the gap is widening, Romney is pulling away in the polls. That pretty much shows people thought romney won the first debate, Ryan won the second, mostly due to Bidens constant laughing, smirking and interrupting, and Romney also won the last debate, because Romney has only gained ground in the polls since then.

So i also expect the average american to think Romney won this one.

You are a liar. I have been watching politics more and have stats buddy, most of all I will come to discredit your lies because I come with sources.

I will be watching football and not that debate, but I am not going to let you spout lies.

The popular vote does not matter as most of it comes from the south which Obama could never win. Every other portion of the country Obama has gained approval. What matters in this election are the swing states only and in that area Romney is losing.

Romeny won the first debate, but he didn't win the second.

I again used a time-machine and the things Romney said about americas allies were awful. It is going to be a tense 4 years if he wins

edit: If anyone wonders why i don't use my time-machine and travel to November 7th it is because i can only go  half a day into the future

I voted nobody... Just what I thought I'd expect to find. People aren't actually voting for who they thought won or else obama wouldn't have 75% right now. No wonder the other poll had Obama so far ahead.

Chocolocco - It's true. Romney is either leading or gaining ground in most polls since the debates started. Huffington post and rasmussen electoral maps show this trend too.

Uh... what competitors are you talking about? McCain and Palin were actually pretty weak competitors and were a laughing stock... how old are you that you can't remember all those SNL skits about how stupid Palin was and how bad of decision it was to name her as McCains running mate through every news source a mere 4 years ago.

As for momentum... Obama has been loosing that since the first debate. The Gallup polls, rassmussen, huffington post, ect all show this trend. Obama had over 300 electoral votes for huffington posts electoral map before the first debate and Romney had 160. Now its 271 to 191...
