New Jersey political insiders gave their candidates the edge on the final presidential debate. However, most believe President Barack Obama will be the consensus winner over Mitt Romney among national media outlets. According to a Patch flash poll sent to elected officials and political party insiders in New Jersey, 17 out of 19 Democrats responding believed Obama was the victor, while 16 out of 18 Republicans declared Romney the winner. “Gov. Romney's executive capabilities were on full display,” one Republican insider said. “This will energize the voters and clearly demonstrated that he will return America to being viewed as being professionally run as a business and ALL Americans are its clients.” Democrats were also impressed with …

The debates are over, and in a few weeks it will be time to head to the polls to pick the next president. So, who do you think won the third and final debate Monday night between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney? In a debate about foreign policy that often touched on domestic issues, Obama seemed more aggressive than in the first debate, dismissing Romney's foreign policy ideas as naive and outdated. Regarding Romney's assertion that Russia is a geopolitical threat, Obama said, "The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back." Obama called Romney's policies "wrong and reckless." "Attacking me is not an agenda," Romney responded. Obama said Romney wants to devote "$2 trillion to military spending the military isn't…
