#StarDebate: Indianapolis politicos analyze the first presidential debate
The Indianapolis Star invited local political pundits and some voters to its newsroom to watch tonight's presidential debate. They're tweeting their reactions live using #StarDebate.
- So who won?
Toss up between Big Bird and the beer I was drinking. "@CarrieRitchie: So who won? #StarDebate?"
Expectations so low. They both spoke in complete sentences. No big gaffes. Yet I learned nothing new. I call it a bust. #StarDebate
Obama really has to do a better job of showing a difference between him and Romney. #StarDebate
#StarDebate. Nothing from this debate will resonate long term, but Romney did what needed to do tonight. The president wasn't as successful
Obama and Romney about the same height. As taller candidate usually wins, this is one more sign: Close election to come. #StarDebate
I just received a text that said "your President got is **** kicked!" #stardebate- We're on the fourth question of the debate, which focuses on the candidates' views on the role of federal government. But this Twitter debate, much like the real one, has gone a bit off-track.
- #Obama, why are you so silent? I love you man, but you need to get feisty! #StarDebate
If you chose to drink on Obama "Uhhhs" Please go to the hospital. Don't wait. #StarDebate
Huge that @MittRomney has mentioned young people a number of times tonight. #StarDebate- Lots of votes for Big Bird hosting the next debate. I'm on board with this. #StarDebate
- Ok, we should take a poll on who should moderate the next debate. I vote for Simon Cowell. #StarDebate
- Role of government, Jim? I was told the next topic was NCAA brackets. #StarDebate
- Even though healthcare has popped up throughout the debate, it's the official topic of the third question.
- Ever wonder if when a candidate says a good line they think "I hope someone tweets that" #StarDebate
