After preparing for the debate more than any sitting president, the reviews aren’t great as the president gets snippy with Lehrer, MSNBC hosts are stunned with his poor performance and a poll shows 56% of uncommitted voters say their opinion of Romney has changed for the better and only 13% for Obama.

@DenverPost: “Mitt Romney comes on strong against President Obama in University of Denver Debate” http://bit.ly/WmkCj3 #tcot 

@JoeNBC: Chris Christie was right again. Tonight’s debate has changed the trajectory of this race. 

@morningmoneyben: Good debate for Romney. Someone should get POTUS some stronger coffee before the next one. 

@JFKucinich So far no Obama surrogates in the spin room that I can see…

@CNNPolitics “Mitt Romney absolutely wins the preparation. And he wins the style points,” Obama’s campaign manager tells Jessica Yellin #CNNDebate.

@StuPolitics: Never expected anything like this…… 

@BuzzFeedAndrew: Chris Matthews says if Obama has two more debates like this “he is finished.” 

@JimHeath10TV I watched the debate without paying attention to twitter chatter. My guess is Independents will give Romney new look.
