So who won the third and final presidential debate last night at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida? Mitt Romney certainly edged out Barack Obama during the 90-minute battle over foreign policy. Obama got no real help from Bob Schieffer, the moderator, unlike in earlier debates. He attacked Romney as not being ready to be Commander in Chief several times, but the arguments did not score. Romney achieved what he needed to do. First, to end any propaganda about him being a war monger, ready to bomb Iran on Day One of his administration. Mitt skillfully disarmed Obama twice, beginning with Romney′s best line of the night, ″We cannot kill our way out of this mess.″ This nullified Obama′s spiking the ball about killing Osama bin Laden and other Al Qaeda leaders. Romney also parried well accusing Obama of using personal attacks to cover his lack of an agenda for the next four years. Now we shall see how this impacts the upcoming presidential polls for the remaining two weeks.

Last night’s Town Hall debate between Romney and Obama was one of the more confrontational discussions that can be remembered in a Presidential general election campaign. The two contenders circled each other for much of the time, both literally and figuratively, trying to get the opponent to back down. After 90 or so minutes of this exercise, which of them came out on top?

The full fury of Don Imus exploded on Lis Wiehl this morning as the ′Blonde-on-Blonde′ segment discussed the presidential debate last night between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. The first few seconds were calm as Deidre Imus, Don′s wife, said she thought Romney won and Wiehl said she thought Obama won. But then Wiehl added that she was offended when Romney used the phrase ‘binders full of women’ during his answer concerning equality in the workplace. This prompted Don Imus to erupt in a flurry of obscenities, which, fortunately, the radio and TV producers caught in time and censored. What Lis thought Romney meant by this phrase and why she thought it was so offensive is not known as the rest of the 12-minute segment was more ranting from the I-Man about Liberals and political correctness being taken too far. Did Lis think Romney was talking about using slavers to find women to serve in his administration when governor of Massachusetts?

Tonight we will get to see the two Presidential candidates compete in the town hall debate. The first debate between Obama and Romney began a degeneration in the incumbent’s lead that still hasn’t stopped. Now, Obama’s victory seems to be dependent upon his lead in the Rust Belt states. Since the last debate is supposed to be about foreign policy, I assume Mitt will tie each question to Benghazi and Obama will answer each question that he killed OBL. Most people will turn it off after ten minutes unless they have run out of Ambien. So, what do the candidates need to do tonight and how likely are they to accomplish their goals?

A lot of analysts have weighed in with different reasons of why President Obama fared so poorly in the debate last week. Some explanations were pretty funny…Obama was stunned that Mitt Romney wasn’t telling the truth, so he didn’t know what to do. Some were pseudo-scientific…The height in Denver caused him to lose oxygen. Some were personality-driven…he approached it like a professor where he wasn’t used to people contradicting him. Some were conspiracy-laden…he is being blackmailed with threats of his own sexual behavior being released.

Mitt Romney easily wins the first Presidential debate last night sending the Far Left into a panic as Barack Obama walked away the big loser. At MSNBC, it looked as though they would have to hold a suicide watch for Chris Matthews who was visibly shaken by the results. How the Obama – Romney debate will effect presidential polls remains to be seen. But given the Presidential debate 2012 schedule, the DNC must now be extremely worried that another loss by Joe Biden to Paul Ryan next week could send the Obama campaign into an irreversible tailspin.

Not only has he passed the crucial threshold which the American people always ask of a challenger, which is “can this guy be president,” but he appeared far more presidential than the president himself. Mitt Romney is winning the debate by a landslide, and with 30 minutes to go we can declare him the winner already. This is an artful and historic debate performance that will move the needle in the polls.
