Who Won the Second Debate

As much as this blogger wants to give the second debate win to Romney, it's hard to say. Romney was doing an excellent job, but kept rambling and going on and on about certain subjects when he really should have made his statement and moved on. Even so, Obama was not doing much better. He seemed like a little kid who wanted to just be like, "told you so, see," especially after liberal moderator Crowley made her statement on Libya (which was so wrong and anyone who knew anything about the whole ordeal and how long it took for President Obama to say it was a terrorist attack knew she was wrong). However, did this hurt Romney, no and here's why.

Everyone knows these town hall debates are staged and the questions are known by much of the news crew before hand. Which makes it no more real than if Obama had his teleprompter in front of him. Having said that, the first question was about jobs. Romney's answer was good, but he needed to improve on explaining more specifics about his plan on job creation (of course, it's technically not the governments job to create jobs, its their job to make sure business's are able to come in and create jobs which is what Romney was essentially saying). Obama talked about manufacturing plants, and the first thought going through my head was, we go to college to get jobs outside of manufacturing plants (unless you're an engineer, in business management or human resources). If college students wanted manufacturing jobs, they would not be in college.

Throughout the debate, Obama continued to bring up points he mentioned in 2008. Points on how he will turn the economy around, and what about that girl's question on women's rights in the work place? Women are out of work thanks to the job fall out and in ability to afford childcare during Obama's Presidency, and Romney's "binder" statement has been taken way out of context. Also, what was that statement about the gas prices about. The gas prices were low because the country was going into a recession? What a stupid statement, but the worst was definitely when Crowley butted in about Libya. Although, even her help can't hide the fact that Obama was lying and continuously trying to campaign like he had a clean record.

Overall, after rereading many reports, watching excerpts from the debate and thinking about how each candidate answered, Romney may have won. Even so, does it really matter? The big debate on foreign policy is Monday and this is the debate to watch but for the most part, doesn't everyone know where these candidates stand?
