The first presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was won by the challenger, according to more than 12,500 THG readers.
Even the typically pro-Democrat celebrity crowd took notice.
During the most tweeted-about U.S. political event ever, President Obama got his fair share of accolades from stars, but Romney's strong showing couldn't be ignored.
Some choice celebrity reactions after the jump:
Bill Maher: "my rating: Romney won the debate, Obama had the facts on his side, and Lehrer sucked. Next debate, get @SethMacFarlane to host!"
