Analysis of Tuesday night:
Mitt Romney was every bit in command of the issues as he was in the first debate. Barack Obama was nowhere near as bad in trying to defend a defenseless record this time around.
In all honesty, Romney clearly won the night on substance, by listing Obama's list of failures in his first 4 years, one by one, and by laying out his own personal experience as a budget-balancing, highly successful businessman, both in the private sector and in government.
He handled a stacked deck against him with presidential poise, while refusing to be "Raddatzed" by Candy Crowley, and allowed the thin-skinned incumbent president to hang himself with his own words on numberous occasions.
HOWEVER...the bar was set sooooooooo low for Obama, due to his utter disaster of a performance in the first debate, that any HINT of improvement this time, which there was, was going to be called a victory by his sycophantic media enablers just waiting to shout, "Our guy is BACK!"
In other words, Romney has turned in two terrific debate performances, while Obama has turned in one pathetic clunker, and one that was improved, by Obama standards, which earns him a "victory" in the eyes of the ignorant.
