Dominic A.
Did Mitt Win?
Yes, many people who watched would agree the Mitt Romney won the debate. To start, Mitt just completely controlled the agenda and there was nothing that Obama or the moderator could do about it. With Jim, the moderator, not interrupting effectively, Mitt's on the attack style was working perfectly. Obama never focused on attack and cause what looks like a loss in the first debate.
Obama wasn't himself on stage last night. He said "uh" so many times and it just wasn't him. Obama was spending a lot of time taking notes and that might help or hurt him later on. Most democrats were waiting for Obama's big points to come, but they never came. For example, Obama never mentioned the '47 percent' Romney comment during the whole debate. Not one democrat would've thought! Many were expecting it, but Obama was too laid back.
During the debate, it felt as though Obama didn't want to talk to Romney, but to the United States viewers. Romney on the other hand, came right at Obama every chance that he could. Romney didn't have any gaffes or blunders, besides the Big Bird moment. A huge factor is what the post debate analysis is about. If Romney would've had any blunders or anything, it would be talked about a lot, because neither candidate really had any. Yes, I agree that Mitt Romney somehow won the debate, but only because of Obama's relaxed lackluster debate performance.
