General consensus so far, among liberal/pro-Obama blogs, anyway, has been that Obama won.
I hope that was as convincing for the undecided.
Amusingly enough, our company's very right-wing big boss sent out an email today telling everyone to make sure they watched the debate tonight.
As for Romney, wow was there a lot of flip-flopping and lying from him tonight. I second the desire for instant fact checkers. I hope people caught the part where both Obama and the moderator called Romney on his claim that it took Obama two weeks to call the Libya attacks terrorism.
The biggest takeaway on tonight is "Binders Full of Women."
Which, I hope, will get women pissed off enough to vote.
The cherry on top, of course, is that the story wasn't even true.

Nope, what happened was that when he took office in Massachusetts, a bipartisan group of MA women came to him with a binder of women qualified for appointments, because there weren't enough women in office.

It's worth pointing out that if as a governor!elect, he didn't know any women worthy of political appointments, that's pretty damning on the face of it. He shouldn't have needed to ask, if he even had (which he didn't).
