My objective debate analysis.... Boring! Zzzzzzzz.


I have to admit, I'm only two-thirds through and it's sooo boring, almost torture to pay attention! Both candidates are deep in the weeds, talking about extraneous details in the tax code and arcane corners of medicare, none of which voters - myself included - care much about or think will help revive the economy. Where's the broad vision for America? I'm not hearing it.... Who "won" the debate? Neither one .... they both lost by boring everyone to tears - myself included!

I'll add this: To the pundits saying Romney won, that's just nonsense. He came across as competent and likeable, but so did Obama. I didn't hear anything that would change the minds of voters who have already decided, and I would think undecideds are going to stay undecided. In other words, this debate didn't move the needle for either one.
