In the most recent debate, the moment that stuck out most to me was Obama's quip that "the 1980s are calling and they want their foreign policy back" in reference to Romney naming Russia as the greatest geopolitical threat to America. In the past two debates, Romney has been the candidate with the most catchy lines, but this line may become the most memorable moment of the debates. The jury is still out on my opinion regarding this coomment, though. While catchy and effective, I'm not sure whether it breached the line of civility.

As far as who won the debate, I would say Obama. Both candidates had shining moments in their areas of strength. Romney, a businessman at heart, outperformed Obama in the economic debate. However, I believe Obama, who has far more foreign policy experience, took the prize in last night's debate.
