Even before tonight’s presidential debate was over I knew that Mitt Romney had won.  He strongly stated the case that Barack Obama had spent too much time on health care when jobs were the issue facing many Americans.

Romney’s ideas for creating jobs are full of holes.  However, he emphasized that he could provide the stimulus to create 12 million jobs in his first four years as president.  The president had no response.

The reporters and commentators on CNN agree with my assessment.  James Carville was part of the CNN panel and he too agreed that Romney was the winner.

This does not mean that Romney will win the election.  It does give the Republicans confidence that their man can win the White House.
