Bad Moderation ruined the integrity of the debate, in my humble opinion.

[DonRedwood]

When one side of a debate does not follow the rules and the moderator allows it, the integrity of the debate is ruined.

Romney spoke over people and was given the floor repeatedly by the moderator. This gives him an advantage in both time and ability to persuade.

But I still think Obama won the debate.

(and I was a debate champion in HS and won 54 college level speaking awards in national competitions...oh, and have a degree in speech writing. And was a speech judge for many years.)

You, of course, might have a different opinion...but I doubt you have my background.

1. I believe you know what you are talking about...and I pray you are correct. Romney

certainly was a train wreck ---

2. First off, congratulations! Here's the "however": The audience didn't score by debate rules.

[DonRedwood]

3. Nor did I. There still has to be a winner, integrity be damned. I think it was Obama.

Simply based on the use of facts and supportive information.

Though, Romney did a good job of explaining things at a 7th grade level which will score well with his base.
