Tonight - Romney told middle class/middle aged voters that he is eliminating Medicare as we know it

and that he is gutting many middle-class tax deductions.

How is that a win for him?

Edited to add - younger voters are also impacted by the Romney Medicare voucher plan.

Obama could have climbed down Romney's throat on the spot. He decided instead to let Romney reiterate that point rather than chasing him off it. The debates are not decisive. They are just one piece.

There is a lot for Obama to build on.

"Governor Romney admitted he was killing Medicare for those 55 and under. That being the case, can you really trust that he won't come after older folks at some point?"
