Short diary. Feel free to add in the comments. Obama owned it. I don't care what the snap polls will say. I'm listening to ABC now and they're trying to spin a "both sides checked boxes" and Obama "changed his demeanor".
Obama contested lines, was animated, but best of all he specifically targeted key Democrat consticuencies (see below). Anyway my top 6, in no order:
1. Obama saving the 47% to the very END so that Romney couldn't weasel his way out of it. Awesome.
2. Obama mentioning Bush, and saying Romney would go to the right of him on social issues, after Romney thought he'd gotten away from it.
3. Obama showing legitimate anger over Libya, and actually forcing Romney off balance--Romney's attack was very subdued on Libya.
4. Tying Romney to Kobach and hammering on the "self-deportation". (hi Latinos!)
5. Obama hammering Romney on China (hi Ohio!).
6. Obama hammering Romney on women's health and fair pay (hi women!).

Basically, everytime Romney thought he'd been smooth, Obama smacked him with a 2x4. Opposite of the first debate.
GOP types tend to get cocky and overbearing when they think they're winning, remember Sununu calling Obama lazy? Remember the House GOP after they won the majority? I think they got too cocky the last few weeks.
The Biden-Obama tag-team have cut them down to size so to speak.
