"FAIL"? I just did what you asked, exactly-- I gave my one-word answer for who I thought won the debate. Could it possibly be that you posted your poll just to gloat?
Of course, I am "biased", because I already knew that Romney's tax plan will give the ultra rich a huge tax cut no matter what deductions Romney eliminates. I already knew that Romney's health care "plan" eliminates coverage for people with pre-existing conditions that are contained in ObamaCare, and I already knew that the $716 billion cut in Medicare is a cut in costs for the program, not a cut in benefits. So when Romney claimed otherwise in the debates on each of these subjects, I knew what he was saying was untrue, even if Obama didn't call him a liar, like he probably should have in retrospect.
No matter how relaxed Romney appeared, or how prepared his answers seemed, I don't give credit for lies. I don't give credit for a "plan" that only is specific about stuff that costs even more money that we don't have, and says that we are going to depend on Congress to decide how we are going to pay for it all. That's literally his tax plan: 20% tax cuts for everyone, and then after the election Congress is supposedly supposed to decide how to pay for that in a "revenue neutral" manner that doesn't raise taxes on anybody. Of course, it turns out it is impossible to do that, never mind that Congress has not shown much tendency to make the tough decisions anyway. What a joke the Romney "plan" is!
So no, Romney did not win the debate, even if he got his beauty rest the night before and had the correct amount of Brylcreem in his hair, even if he "dominated" the stage, overpowered the aging moderator, and spewed out his talking points without stumbling.
