How Nevadans viewed the presidential debate: A story told on Twitter

Today, everyone can be an armchair pundit, broadcasting their views to the world. And tonight's presidential debate offered armchair pundits across Nevada a chance to vent their spleen. From rather inane comments on the appearance of Obama's head or Romney's nose to more insightful commentary on the candidates' performances, Nevadans had a lot to say. Here's a look at how Nevadans used social media to tell the story of tonight's debate. [View the story "Nevadans debate the debate via Twitter" on Storify]

  1. Clear win by Romney tonight, but not a knockout AND there are rounds left. Obama needs more energy and needs to be better able to defend his record. Be interesting to see if there's any movement towards Romney now -- it won't take much.

  2. MSM is at fault as well as the rest of Obama cronies who don't allow anyone to ask anything other than fluff questions. If they wanted Obama to win then they should of had him on a few more shows like the Univision interviews those are the only reporters that ask any tough questions and now the wife of the head of the station has been appointed to a cabinet position at the White House imagine that "don't be cruel don't ask tough questions and we will reward you" this is exactly what it sounds like. The MSM never interviews with hard questions they give him fluff in point the View, come on Barbara Walters who USE to be one of the best interviewers with tough questions never ask anything of Obama. Some out there are saying why didn't Obama mention the 47% well I think it is because he has never had to think for himself everyone has done it for him and he IMO probably thought that good ole Jim would ask Romney about it so Obama could pounce and Jim didn't ask. I think that Romney held back on alot as well but he was prepared to comeback with anything that Obama threw at him. YEAH!!!!!!

  3. Mschaffer, you crack me up...your guy got trounced, so now your all "substance over fluff". Your guy has no clue what substance means. He says "he" killed Bin Laden but can't handle the blow-back from the Muslim radicals.

    Substance....give me a break
