Easy to look good in a debate when you're not hampered by facts. Or as his pollster said, "We're not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers."

Who Wins the Post-Debate?
First Read: "If Romney won the instant reactions from last night's debate, it is more than possible that the Obama camp can win the next 24 hours. Why? Because Romney said several things that could make life difficult for him today or in the next debate."

"First, Romney declared, 'I will not reduce the taxes paid by high-income Americans.' But in addition to supporting the extension of the Bush tax cuts, which are skewed heavily to the wealthy, the non-partisan Tax Policy Center says that Romney's tax plan would give the Top 0.1% an average tax cut of more than $246,000. Next, he stated that "there will be no tax cut that adds to the deficit." While he has said his plan will be paid for, he's yet to lay out any SPECIFICS on how he'll pay for it. Romney also said, 'I'm not going to cut education funding. I don't have any plan to cut education funding.' But the Ryan budget plan, which Romney has said he'd sign into law, leads to long-term spending reductions in education. And Romney also didn't disagree with the description that his Medicare plan would consist of 'vouchers' for future retirees."

"Winning a debate is always a two-part deal -- the night itself, and then the aftermath. This is now an opportunity for Team Obama and a challenge for Team Romney."
