The problem with these debates is nobody asks the hard hitting questions anymore. If I was the moderator, these are the kinds of questions you could expect to hear from me:
Governor Romney, you have said that the debt and deficits are among the most important issues in this campaign. If you are elected, and everything goes according to the plan you won't let is see, what do you project the national debt will be after your first four years in office? Will it be higher or lower than the current $16 trillion, and by how much? Please be specific.
President Obama, what would you say is your greatest accomplishment during your first term: saving the US from another Great Depression, finding and killing the US's arch-enemy, Osama bin Laden, reforming the nation's broken health care system, ending don't ask-don't tell, stopping the war in Iraq, or one of the others?
Governor Romney, it is said you believe in magic underpants. What's up with that? Please give us a short list of the the wackiest Mormon stuff you really believe, so the voters can make an informed decision for themselves whether or not you are batshit crazy.
President Obama, you have had some marginal results with your NCAA tourney bracket picks. If you are re-elected, can you give the American public some reassurance that your picks in the second term will be more consistent?
Governor Romney, the US is going into debt more than a trillion dollars a year, with income tax rates among their lowest in modern history and tax receipts at the grossly unsustainable level of 16% of GDP, yet you have been bragging that your tax plan is "revenue neutral." The question on the minds of many Americans, are you a fucking idiot?
President Obama, your wife has pushed hard for healthy eating and diet reform, going so far as to plant an organic garden on the White House lawn. Did you try any of the vegetables that were harvested from that garden, and were they good? What were your favorites?
Governor Romney, you have made hundreds of millions off the backs of ordinary middle-class workers, cutting their jobs by fracturing and selling off the companies with which they were employed to line your pockets and those of your wealthy partners, yet you keep large sums of money in offshore tax and privacy havens, insulated from the US economy. The question, sir, is why do you hate America?
President Obama, you have been the subject of every racist slur, stereotype, meme, or insult the racist right could possibly dream up. How do you stay so calm, cool and composed in the face of evil?
Governor Romney, until you were 30, you were a member of a racist organization that *explicitly* excluded African-Americans from positions of leadership. How did you come to be involved in such an organization, why did you stay, and why do you hate darkies?
President Obama, you have received some attention for the number of rounds of golf you play. What kind of clubs do you use, and what is your favorite golf accessory?
Governor Romney, you recently claimed that you "don't care about the very poor," and that you'd never convince 47% of Americans to take responsibility for their lives. Why are you such an asshole?

What credit? BillB wrote an entertaining post, you responded with the

Questioners in these debates almost always try to inject themselves

Lehrer did a great moderation job by letting the players play.
I bet you'll get plenty of snarky questions in the next rounds;
90% aimed at Romney.

did you catch the part where lehrer had to remind obama that he wanted a
more "balanced" approach to debt, taxes, and spending cuts?

Yeah, that was my favorite part. Other than Obama claiming his plan would
take $4T off of the "deficit" and provided an example of a whole $2
BILLION to gas and oil companies.
CNN did the President no favors with their split-screen presentation.
Every time Obama talked, Romney was studying him and processing his words,
readying for the counterpunch. While the majority of the time that Romney
was speaking, Obama was looking down at his podium.
The deduction cap was an inspired bit from Romney - he can avoid talking
about WHICH loopholes/deductions he wants to eliminate and sell that the
cap will only affect high income Americans. This was as good or even
better a performance than the Florida debate that essentially won him the
GOP nomination. And I say that as someone who's voting for none of the
above.

That was a tactical error to not have Obama prepared to engage more with his opponent. I think that's why Romney was generally viewed as the winner, he came ready to debate Obama, Obama came to go over his talking points. It's one thing to make your case directly to the audience but you can't just ignore your opponent in a debate.
.
By 'winning;' you mean brightest tie, facts, substance and dodging? If that's what you were looking for, Romney won that part. Until you look at the substance. Romney had to lie and dodge. If you saw President Obama's speech in Denver this morning; you'd see who actually won.
Oh, wait, you've admitted you have no clue as to the Ryan Bill. You actually can't judge anthing.

Using Jerry's method for quoting, here is what he just said. " By
winning, you mean brightest tie, fact sand substance? If that's what
you were looking for, Romney won"
LOL and that's a much more accurate quote of Jerry, than any of the
"quotes" he's putting out there for Romney.

No, winning, in televised political debates, means making the best
impression on the majority of the viewers. There's no question that
Romney did that.
