7:57 PM PT: Here's some of the spin from Obama's campaign:
Romney on defense all night (and testy) Over tax, medicare plans Came to prosecute a case about the president but ended up defending his own plans -- or lack of specifics.The President spoke directly to the American people, talked to voters as adults, laid out his plans to deal w/ deficit in a responsible way and create good paying sustainable jobs for mid class
7:59 PM PT: I haven't been able to do it yet, but I want to go back to the Medicare answer'my recollection is that Romney initially said he and Obama had the same policy on Medicare over the next decade, and then suddenly realized that would be an admission his $716 billion attack was bogus ... so he shifted gears. If my memory is right (and I think it is), Obama could have hammered Romney on that during the debate, but even now that the debate is over, Romney could still get hammered on it.
8:01 PM PT: First snap poll numbers coming in:
