This week marked the first presidential debate and depending on whether you rep the donkeys or the elephants, your view on who won the debate is really still actually up for debate.

Some say President Obama took the high road, others say he just fell flat.  Considering the debate occurred on the date he married Michelle, perhaps he was a bit distracted and thinking about the evening’s festivities.

Whatever the case, watch the debate in it’s entirety below + feel free to join the ‘StraightFromTheA” debate on the pros & cons of Family Circle’s First Lady cookie contest, which has consistently predicted the winner of the last 3 presidential elections…

Most voters have already decided who they will vote for and it has nothing to do with the candidate’s debating skills. With that being said, the real issue at hand is who won the cookie contest?!

Since 1992, Family Circle magazine has hosted a cookie recipe contest between the FLOTUS and the opposing candidate’s spouse.

What’s interesting is that the magazine’s contest winner has predicted who will be the future FLOTUS correctly in all years with the exception of the 2008 contest.

[Sidebar: Word on the curb is that McCain’s wife stole the recipe off a Hershey’s box and cheated that year. So I guess we can say the “true” winner still won! But I digress…]

Guess who won this year?

You got it! First Lady Michelle Obama’s Mama Kaye’s White and Dark Chocolate cookies beat out Ann Romney’s M& M cookies.

So I guess it’s safe to say that Barack has this one in the bag…

On a side note, do women still bake cookies from scratch these days?

Do you buy into Family Circle’s prediction that the winner of the cookie contest will win the election?

Oh… and what are your thoughts on the Obama/Romney debate?
