In my opinion, you need to be a little more dignified and play it cool to deal with some of the more antagonistic heads of state (I'm looking at you Ahmadinejad). Romney's approach would get us into a whole lot of trouble.
The difference is that Lehrer actually made an effort to stop Romney from talking and never seemed to do the same to Obama. Obama spoke for 4 and a half minutes longer than Romney did.. I don't blame him for trying to get in a few extra points.

Either way, Lehrer never really had control of this debate. Bring on a new moderator.

And saying that Romney's approach in a debate would get us in trouble with world leaders is a bit of a stretch, and you know it.
