Last night the first live US presidential debate took place in Denver. Mitt Romney v Barack Obama. And Mitt Romney won the debate. He looked calm and collected and was full of facts and figures. Barack Obama on the other hand looked distracted and distant and stumbled a couple of times. All the statistics and facts made the debate very wonkish. And the debates chairman lost control on a number of occasions. With two more debates to go Barack Obama will have to improve on his performance. Mitt Romney did well but he should not allow himself to become overconfident as pride comes before a fall.
Note the power handshake by Obama, the left hand to the elbow. Classic power play and a clever subliminal message. Hopefully Obama takes him apart in the next one!
