We asked our Red Arch and Blue Arch insiders about who won the Presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney and to identify highlights to attract base support and swing voters.
After the majority of both sides agreed that Mitt Romney won the first Presidential debate with Barack Obama, a flash poll of Patch's political insiders in both parties in Missouri returned to their partisan corners following Tuesday's Town Hall-style gathering in Long Island. Patch conducted a flash poll starting late Tuesday night as part of the Red Arch/Blue Arch series of surveys taking the pulse of political thought leaders heading up to the November election. Responses came from 14 Republicans and 16 Democrats. Of Republicans, 9 felt Mitt Romney won by a slim margin, 1 said it was by a wide margin, 3 were neutral and 1 participant had no opinion. Barack Obama won by a wide margin according to 10 respondents, 5 felt it was a slim …
Visitors to Patch's debate viewing parties at Wehrenberg Theatres in St. Charles gave Obama the win while the Des Peres audience gave Romney a slight edge in the second presidential debate on Oct. 16, 2012.
More than 120 people from throughout the St. Louis and St. Charles county areas took advantage of a break in the Cardinals schedule to attend debate viewing parties at two local movie theaters for Wednesday's showdown between GOP candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama. The consensus among viewers at the Wehrenberg St. Charles Stadium 18 Cine put Obama ahead, while watchers at Wehrenberg's Des Peres 14 Cine essentially called the matter a wash, with Romney edging out Obama but just as many declaring neither candidate victorious. In a written survey filled out after the debate, Obama's record was the center of attention for both sides. One Obama supporter said he won "because he was sincere, calm and followed through with what …

WUSTL’s Peter Kastor says relationship between style and substance important, but precarious in the town hall format.
The first presidential debate was most striking for Gov. Mitt Romney’s aggressiveness and President Barack Obama’s rhetorical reserve, but the town hall format in the second debate provides an extra challenge for the candidates, says Peter Kastor, PhD, professor of history and American culture studies in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. The two debates also reveal one of the greatest challenges to candidates as they try to appear presidential: balancing emotional display with appropriate reserve. Kastor notes that there’s more to this than looking for smoke and mirrors. “The relationship between style and substance has often turned on a discussion of truthfulness (does a candidate use a particular style to cover the …
