Let's see how people in Malverne, West Hempstead and Lynbrook viewed the candidates' performances. Tell us in the comments section below.

The American people won last night. The moderator should be given a Pulitzer prize for getting out of the way and allowing the candidates unfiltered public access .

A masterful performance by Mitt Romney. What a difference four years makes.

romney won the debate. obama stumbled badly and reacted like a deer caught in the headlights.he also failed to "hammer home" many of his statements.
IMHO,Jim lehrer didn't do that good a job moderating. he should have been more forceful and made sure that the time limits were adhered to.

That’s very nice that school districts that have the highest school taxes and costs, are…Read More receiving additional money. The problem is that our state is in dire financial trouble and we can’t afford it. Upstate NY is a distressed disaster. How much more taxes are we going to pay?. Hear those feet marching out of state. Try fighting for drilling so we have jobs and revenue.

.......there they go again whitewashing a dilemma they don't want to touch......unconscionable…Read More salaries and pensions paid by the taxpayer for incompetence? Not to mention 13 week vacations as well as numerous 1/2 days and weather shortened days. A $50000 band aid we end up paying indirectly anyway only increases taxes further down the road. They are either that stupid or they think we are!
