I was the only one surprised by the tone of each candidate? Romney acted like the front-runner protecting a lead, which I would have chalked up to bad information on his side or a tactical mistake. However, President Obama acted like a challenger, who had ground to make up in the race. To me, that says the internals of both parties are saying the same thing.
Chuck Todd touched on it on Twitter: “POTUS is consistently trying to draw Romney into a more contentious debate. It's what challengers do who think they are behind”
This morning, Rasmussen had the race spreading one point in either direction. Previously it had been 49/47 Romney over President Obama. Today it's 50/46.
