Many of the people who watched the debate will believe everything the candidates say. None of it may be true, but the people don't know that. Obama was not aggressive enough and, yes I realize it's not in his character, but he needs to come out in Debate #2 as an attack dog, being a fact checker on what happened in Debate #1. Yes, the Mittster lied through his teeth in several statements, but the fact that he (Mittster) was aggressive will change the polls and make this election appear much closer than it should be.
