Plus, Obama had more factual truths and seemed like he had details that made more sense to me. His critiques of Romney seemed powerful, if not delivered powerfully. What he said about the budget being arithmetic and Romney's policies not making mathematical sense really resonated with me.
Romney seemed petulant but obviously way more practiced and had better energy all around. Obama seemed flat and uninterested, and he stammered, but I did not think he was a scared child at all. I wish he would have been more aggressive though.
I will see the next debate and see what I think. I'm leaning Obama.
I think he underestimated Romney which is why the prep was lax. I underestimated Romney. He far exceeded my expectations.
