Last USA presidential debate, Barack Obama may have won on debating skills points, but Mitt Romney won on political points & came across as presidential or what pundits called "the commander-in-chief test".

I predict a Romney upset win in this Nov. 2012 election, that's my fearless forecast!



Tom Cohen of CNN wrote this today, echoing my own analysis:

A CNN/ORC International poll of people who watched the debate showed 48% favored Obama compared to 40% for Romney, a result considered statistically even under the margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.5%. Another poll by CBS scored it a clear victory for Obama."

At the same time, the CNN/ORC poll showed viewers thought Romney established credibility as a leader, which former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer, a Republican strategist and CNN contributor, said was very important.

"This isn't going to change the trajectory of the result," Fleischer said, noting the poll showed 24% of respondents now were more likely to vote for Obama and 25% for Romney, with 50% saying they emerged favoring neither candidate.
