The geeks were on twitter last night in full force with iPads in hand ready at a moment's notice to craft snark in 140 characters. The geeks were disappointed. 

Obama's performance, while not quite as disastrous as conservatives claim, was certainly lackluster. He kept looking down at the podium to write notes, but the effect was that he looked like a shamed school boy. 

Romney did well, only because he didn't stink. We expected stink, and we got adequate. 

Neither candidate showed oratory brilliance. Neither showed the brilliance of a particular policy plan.

The debate could be summed up as:

"Your plan with do this."

"No it won't."

"Yes it will."

"Shut up! No, it won't."  

Both candidates claimed that he was the champion of the middle class, senior citizens, and small business owners, while the other guy would impoverish them. Neither was very convincing. 

Some twitter geeks, like Andrew Sullivan, said that Obama lost the election last night. He didn't. Nobody changed their vote last night, because of that debate. Not one voter. If Romney won last night, it was more because of style issues, rather than content, which won't wiggle the poll numbers in the slightest.
