Think of first debate as a physics experiment: We now know what happens when a low-energy moderator collides with a low-energy president.

25 percent thinking Obama won seems very high.

I'd be surprised if tonight didn't move the head to head polls some (in Romney's direction)

The main impact of Romney's good night: The caricature of him created by 47% video and his lousy campaigning is superseded.

My sources tell me everyone on JournoList got together and decided to agree that Romney won this debate.

The fate of the Obama campaign rests with Joe Biden. He's actually good at debates, though!

Next debate, Obama would do better if he debated in auto-tune.

67% of people in CNN poll say Romney did the best job. Highest # in history of the poll.

Next time Obama should prep for debate against Romney, not Eastwood.

my boys from NY--not political pros, and all Dems--think Romney won. This bodes well for Mitt.

Note that lib opinion journalists aren't blaming pollsters or press for what happened tonight. Libs don't deal in denial way RW does.

John Kerry won the first debate against Bush almost as resoundingly as Romney did tonight, right?

If the Obama campaign was worried about Dems being overconfident going into the final stretch, tonight should allay those fears

But spinning is what these guys do best...
Heh RT @craigh_crawford Always easy to tell which side lost a debate: they say debates don't matter. And they're right
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) October 4, 2012
Show me actual voters who changed their minds & I'll believe Romney "won the debate" in any significant way. Beware punditry noise.

Jim Lehrer's choice of questions/topics was a f'ing travesty. That was the worst aspect of the debate by far.

There's no way @crowleycnn does not DESTROY as moderator in Prez. Debate #2. She's got game.

Yeah, I though Romney "won" -- by dodging details and misrepresenting positions tnr.com/blog/plank/108… #denverdebate

If nothing else, Obama's performance tonight shows the utter futility of the RW attempt to paint him as an angry radical. Dude is boring.
— David Roberts (@drgrist) October 4, 2012
The hands-down winner of the 1st debate was Twitter. But we knew that going in.
— Micah Sifry (@Mlsif) October 4, 2012
Final word:
To be a killjoy for a moment: ultimately, this debate comes down to what people not snarking on Twitter think.
