Another strong performance by Mitt Romney. At least Obama showed up this time.
Moderator Candy Crowley couldn't hide her obvious bias towards Obama. She gave him more time while she cut off Romney and actually interrupted Romney during his answer about the Benghazi terrorist attack. Crowley was wrong and Romney was right but she did it to help her candidate, Obama.
Still, the third debate will be about foreign policy so Romney will have a huge platform to reveal Obama's pathetic attempts to label the Benghazi terrorist attack as a demonstration about a Youtube video. Obama did this on Univision, Letterman, The View and six times during his UN speech. His surrogates repeated the lie numerous times.
With his powerful comments on Libya, gas prices and especially the economy, Romney won the debate. He came across as a leader with real solutions. Obama tried to channel Joe Biden's boorish brusqueness. I'm sure it excited his base but that might not be enough for Obama to win. He needs to convince independents and undecided voters.
From the MSNBC and Frank Luntz focus groups it appears Obama failed to that. Have a look.
