The Star Ledger’s Brian Donohue, and his cats, pretty much sum it up.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney needed to show American tonight that he could be the Commander of Chief of the United States military and leader of the free world. He did just that.
President Obama’s rhetoric that Romney is a “wrong and reckless” war monger fell flat.
Romney successfully intertwined the a strong American economy to successful foreign policy.
Romney used Obama’s record to devastate. Romney nailed Obama on the apology tour. While both men expressed similar visions for the next four years, Romney reminded America of the presidents record on the economy and the Middle East.
Romney was presidential. Obama was aggressive, bordering on petty.
Obama was clearly playing from behind and desperately trying to catch up. Romney would not be baited into any of Obama’s petty traps.

Katie Couric won the night as more people saw her sitting behind Governor Romney and President Obama while the they delivered their remarks since the time she broadcast her colonoscopy.
Romney was the more presidential of the candidates. He was confident, funny and prepared. The crowd responded accordingly.
Obama joked twice about his performance in the first debate. “Just to make Axlerod sweat,” he said that he was going to prepare for the third debate coming up on Monday night the same way he did for the first. It looked to me that the same Obama who showed up at the first debate also showed up at the Al Smith Dinner.
