Who won the second Presidential debate?

Who won the second Presidential debate?

Who won the second Presidential debate? Was it current President Barack Obama or the Republican Presidential challenger Mitt Romney.

In the first presidential debate, it was obvious that the Republican challenger Mitt Romney was the clear winner. During that debate, the President seemed bored, disinterested, ill-prepared, very annoyed and angry.

For the second Presidential debate, held at Hofstra University in Long Island, New York, the winner was not as clear.

Both did a very good job of putting their own “spin” on the questions and selectively deciding which parts to answer and both interrupted each other too many times.

It seems that the honor of putting the better spin on the questions would go to President Obama who is an expert at dodging questions.

The sticking point of that debate was the terrorist attack in Libya that killed our Ambassador and three other Americans.

President Obama certainly waffled on his answers and Mitt Romney was challenging but in an inappropriate manner.

There are strategists that will say you should never ask a question if you do not know the answer and Mitt Romney did not know the exact answer which knocked him down a few notches.

The mediator in the Presidential debate plays a very important role and in this case CNN’s Chief Political Correspondent Candy Crowley came across as very biased.

This was readily apparent in her fact checking on the Libya terrorist question when she was clearly shown to back current President Barack Obama and CNN is certainly trying to downplay the whole incident.

CNN’s Managing Editor, Mark Whitaker, sent an e-mail to his office staff, that was obtained by TMZ.

In the e-mail, Whitaker praises Candy’s performance and stresses that the reason for some people being unhappy is because Romney did not have as good of a night as he had in Denver during the first Presidential debate clearly demonstrating that the entire network is supporting President Obama. Networks are supposed to strive for impartiality and this simply did not happen.

It should be noted that the person who asked the question about Libya never got a straight answer to the question.

Really other than the time keeping checks that both  were placing on each other, the Libya controversy became the focal point of the debate

What is your opinion as to who won the second Presidential debate? Who do you think was the clear winner and why?
