Still I look to find a reason to believe

I had to sleep on it... Here's my take on the debates for what it's worth:

Content: Romney did well, made the sale

Presence: Obama is the king. Romney needs to learn to stand and deliver without looking too eager. Obama knows cool, Romney doesn't

Truth: Romney tells it Obama spins it. I think this is the most troubling for me.

Televisionablity (I made that word up): Obama. Romney needs a coach on how to look more presidential on TV. He wasn't bad, but I kept thinking about the future..Putin, Netanyahu and all. Obama bows to others, Romney needs to be sharper.

Something I really agree with Romney on. Defund PBS, big bird and all. Tomorrow.

Obama used what must have been scripted talking points that he must have had written on the back of his hand. He was fully not fresh. Hard to be fresh in defending the last four years catastrophe. Some of the claims he made against Romney were bad campaign slogans. And not true. I hat to call him a liar...but he lied.

All in all I would call it a draw. No game changer. No one's mind was changed.

As I listened, the song came to mind:

If I gave you time to change my mind

I'd find a way just to leave the past behind

Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried

Still I look to find a reason to believe
