I thought both candidates were well prepared and poised. Little things always distract me from more important issues.....I found myself wondering if their stylists communicated; Obama with the blue tie, Romney with the red!!

Romney stormed out of the gate with an impressive start. He faded in the stretch a little, but finished very well. His closing comments impressed me...a lot. Obama kept hammering the $5 trillion cuts along with military's extra $2 trillion "that they haven't asked for" over and over again. I mean he beat the horse into the ground and dug after it. Romney articulated very well how that was NOT part of his platform, but Obama just didn't get the memo, I guess. I thought that hurt him.

After the debate, I was running the channels trying to get away from the media comments, but I did hear CBS news correspondent say that she was surprised at the outcome. She was expecting an email from the democratic party claiming victory, but it never came. She looked surprised and confused. Guess she wasn't scripted for anything but an Obama victory, so she had nothing to say.

If Romney can keep this up, it could change the election. Personally, I can't wait for the VP debate!
