I think Obama could have done better, but he apparently decided not to (or was advised not to) challenge Romney's misrepresentations, and failed to hammer hard enough on the fact that Obamacare is (a) a Republican plan; and (b) exactly the same as Romneycare, which is doing very well in Massachusetts.

He also looked tired and unengaged. Hopefully he'll step it up for the next one.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Romney will get a slight bounce but it won't matter.

This will be my new mantra. Which I will eventually shorten to my favorite movie cheer: It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter....

He also looked tired and unengaged.

I thought so, too. But I also think the debates won't end up swaying any voters, so I'm staying hopeful. And refreshing 538 a lot.

I wish Sullivan would get over his race shit. It would help his writing enormously.

Oh yeah. And his women shit.

I read somewhere today that the challenger tends to have the advantage in the first debate. Hopefully that was the case here.

It does seem like the incumbent has a disadvantage in that he's busy trying to run the country on top of campaigning, while the challenger can spend that "run the country" time in debate prep.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I heard that Obama was in a NATO meeting all day. Is this true?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can a debate tank an election? I haven't been able to watch it yet, and people appear to be in mourning.
