#tellusatoday: Quick takes on presidential debate

We asked our readers on Twitter for their impressions of Tuesday's presidential debate. Comments edited for clarity and grammar.

Mitt Romney asked important questions but has to trust voters to let them draw the conclusion rather than hammering too much.

Romney playing the blame game with no specifics. He has changed his mind on so many things I am so confused.

--@MonicaKeegan

To proclaim a winner is to believe in the notion that politicians are required to debate the truth.

Obama side-stepped the Libya question with a long-winded, "emotional," yet hollow speech. We're still waiting for a clear explanation.

--@miamiempeditor


President Obama was the winner.

--@r2r316


It's a push. Both gave workmanlike performances with no major errors or knockout punches. This will benefit Romney's campaign.

--@smhineslaw


Mitt Romney won hands down.

--@MerleTrammell

By bullying Romney is not being a good leader! Crude, rude, brash and juvenile! I am a former teacher.
