I thought that Romney was the better speaker in this case. He definitely gave off the vibe "a man with a plan." **cough, bad plans! cough cough** Oops, did my opinion slip in there?
(I do like some of his proposals, but others...not to much.)
Obama, though a bit shaky in his verbal skills yesterday, seemed more in touch with the plight of the people to me. More compassionate. He just did not appear as confident as Romney.
