Only President Obama on split screen?

I do recall numerous times when Romney was speaking and they showed the President on close-up split screen. I do not recall ANY instances showing Romney on split screen while the President was speaking.

Hm-m-m?

where the Pres. was directly between Romney and the camera so there were times when the only person on camera was the President. On CSPAN there were always 3 camera positions, so Obama was in all 3 shots and Romney was covered up or on his shoulder.

I do remember 2 close ups of Romney while the president was speaking, but they were short.

Each time Romney looked like somebody smeared crap on his upper lip.
