Your Say: The debate in 140 characters

Reaction on Twitter about the first presidential debate:

Romney would grade schools so parents have "more choice." But why can't all schools be excellent for all kids?

- @cyn3matic

Hearing a Republican pretend to talk about working across the aisle is nauseating.

- @GarrettLiggett

I just feel like Romney countered Obama's stances with a series of valid points. Very strong delivery.

- @cam_rellim15

Obama wants specifics but gives none himself.

- @VeronicaCoffin

President Obama won tonight. So tired of Gov. Romney's smirking. He's lost as far as I am concerned.

- @DaDrone

Unlike in the past, Mitt Romney sure has some good talking skills this time around.

- @pdpshrapnel

I don't think Romney understands he is regurgitating what Obama is saying and pretending it's his platform, too.

- @Leech_Kid

Mitt is stomping out Obama in this debate by showing his business side.

- @DesertScene

Agree with @VeronicaCoffin. Obama didn't give specifics, but at the same time, Romney isn't giving any himself.
