I agree. Obama was off. No Bain Capital? No "47%"? No "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt"? -- those are no- brainer attack lines for Obama, and he refused to go there for some inexplicable reason (the Moderator didn't go there, but you can't rely on him bringing up these things).

And Romney actually looked pretty good tonight. The Radical Right may have a few gripes about Romney's sudden pivot to the middle, though, particularly his abandonment of the 20% tax cut idea. Or maybe they won't. We'll have to see.
