Twin Cities React: Who Won the Second Presidential Debate

President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney hit key points again and again Tuesday night in their second of three debates. Who came out ahead?

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney duked it out tonight in a contentious debate in New York. Patch live-blogged the debate, which featured the candidates touching on issues from the budget defecit to national security, to America's energy sources. You can watch the entire debate on YouTube Politics. Some of the points resonated with our live-blog panelists. Many were split on who came out on top: From Ryan: The more I read his policies, the more I start to feel that Romney is the GOP version of John Kerry. He doesn't know what policies he believes in.

You're right, ACE. Romney didn't interrupt, he simply tried to take back his own position. He was interrupted and did not allow Obama to walk all over him. Biden, yes, was rude and childish. More like a fool actually. I'd like to see him debate 2 people instead of 1 like Ryan had to as the moderator was also trying to take down Paul Ryan too.   more ›
