Denver Post Headline: 'Round 1: Romney'

In the print edition of the Denver Post, the headline splashed across the front page the morning after the debate is: “Round 1: Romney.”

The story’s lede paragraph is even more brutal: 

Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney rhetorically charged at President Barack Obama in their first presidential debate at the University of Denver on Wednesday in a clash that was notable for Romney’s aggressiveness and Obama’s reluctance to engage in a direct fight. Like a bull to a matador, Romney time and again turned toward Obama to deliver attacks on the president’s job performance, portraying him as clueless to his policies’ impacts and hopeless in trying to turn the economy around.
