While the "town hall" style debate between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was going on in New York, KTAR opened the doors to seven voters and got their thoughts on the debate.

Going into Tuesday night, these seven were looking for a variety of things in the second debate between the presidential candidates: the top topics included the economy and jobs, foreign policy, health care and specific plans of how these policies were going to be implemented and carried out if that person is the president for the next four years.

Following the debate a majority of them felt Obama won the debate, but not by a large margin. It was Obama's style and the different approach he brought to this debate that served him well.

Two of the words used were, "engaged" and assertive." This comes after he was heavily criticized for being disinterested in the first debate two weeks ago in Denver.

In the portion of the debate that Arizona was brought up, immigration being the topic, the voters believed both sides said similar things just in different ways.

On voter was left disappointed as he said, "there were not a lot of specifics on either side." That was what he wanted to be able to take away from the 90 minutes, specific plans on the topics being discussed.

To finish, one of the voters mentioned they were wanting to figure out who to vote for by "trying to find the lessers of two evils," and there was nodding in agreement from around the room.

    In substance and stature, Romney nailed it
    Obama indeed came out with gloves off. Trouble is, he didn’t pack any punches. Between Obama and his embarrassingly delinquent cohort, Crowley, Romney was surrounded. Yet he just couldn’t be intimidated or snared. Romney gave specifics, Obama recited the same old rhetoric. Obama was much more talkative, energetic and aggressive than last time, but had trouble staying truthful, including his firmly held myth that we are all prospering and just don’t know it.

    Unpersuasive Romney claimed to care
    for 100% of Americans. Obama effectively pointed out that the real Romney, hiding behind closed doors, spoke his real thoughts when he said 47% of Americans are losers. Not a very presidential way for Romney to consider the nation you want to govern.

    A win but not decisive
    Style - Obama Aggressiveness - Obama Content - Tie Specifics - BOTH LOSERS Like the panel member said it's coming down to a choice between the lesser of two evils. Stay with the devil you know or take on a new challenge with some you don't know. It's all theory anyway, so does it really matter who wins? Opposite sides of the same coin, could at third party be on the way with a better plan?

    let's take a partisan review of Romney at a Democrat paid website. Well done, brilliant.
