Re: It's debate time!
right!!! He gave obama way more time than romney. he really sucked as a moderator. I think Romney did an awesome job and could have hit Obama harder with more facts.
yeah. to me it seemed that romney was giving lots of details and obama was just telling stories as usual. I was hoping romney would mention that obama hasn't passed a budget in 4 year.
Obama tries to work on people's emotions. Romney was quite impressive. I feel very comfortable with him as POTUS.
I disagree. Every candidate uses emotional appeals because that is the most effective persuasive tool. Most people don't notice emotional appeals, especially when it's their candidate who's talking. If you pay more attention to what Romney said, you'll notice his heartwarming stories about people he met along the trail, his commitment to God, his love of this country--all emotional appeals which have nothing to do with what he plans to do for this country. If anything, Romney used more emotional appeal than Obama, which is why he's credited as "winning" this debate.
Going in we all knew Romney was the one who needed to come off looking like the "regular" guy and expected the anecdotes.
What I DIDN'T expect was for the POTUS to use them, Grannys, anniversary,teacher story.
I think a true "undecided" got a glimpse and if they are truly undecided didn't see enough from either one yet to sway them 100% lock stock and barrel.
