President Barack Obama faced off Monday evening with Republican challenger Mitt Romney in the final, purportedly foreign policy-centric presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla.

In the third and final showdown between the two prior to the Nov. 6 election, most pundits agreed that Obama pulled off the win over Romney in a debate that veered, far more often than expected, into a number of domestic issues including education, healthcare and the economy.

And Obama even managed to introduce the latest debate-phrase-gone-meme.

What did Chicagoans make of the action? We took to Twitter to collect some local reactions to the debate. (Miss the debate? Watch highlights below.)

On Tuesday, Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson, the Green Party's Jill Stein, the Justice Party's Rocky Anderson and the Constitution Party's Virgil Goode will meet in another debate, streamed online and broadcast on C-Span, at the Hilton Chicago on Michigan Avenue.
