Presidential debate

I think Romney clearly won. Biggest thing to watch will be bounce in swing state: Ohio. Fl, penn, etc. election will be decided by about 9 states.

You are seeing what I'm seeing. Romney is talking over Lehrer, where as Obama isn't. I'm still seeing it as even, with a slight edge to Romney for ring control.
Man I'm way off from ya'll. Obama keeps opening himself up and Romney is just jabbing him to death. Perfect example Obama on Romney's plan says he was able to work with Democrats to get his plan in and left himself wide open for an easy counter by Romney on Obama's inability to work with Republicans.
That's much easier as a Governor. It will be different on the Presidential level.
I'm not disagreeing but the point is that Romney was intelligent and quick witted enough to pounce on a statement like that. Obama hasn't been able to do it all night and Romney has certainly tee'd a few up for him.

Oh yeah, I agree. Romney stayed aggressive and kept Obama on the defense. I'm still doing a write in vote for Ron Paul.
 
It looked like Alabama v Arkansas tonight. Romney rolled. Obama doesn't seem like the same guy I saw speaking 4 years ago. Never liked what he had to say but always thought he was a good speaker. I think Romney beat him at his own game.

Yeah, if Romney doesn't get a huge bounce in OH, it won't matter. There is no path for him without it and the current average of the polls shows a significant Obama lead. I would imagine the next 2 debates will be vastly different as well now that Romney has demonstrated he is fairly quick witted.

Betcha they roll out at least one teleprompter for the remaining two Romney-Obama debates.
 
Bill Maher said it best, Obama made a lot of good points, problem is they were all for Romney!

I love it, hate to break to Obama but he isn't debating a corpse like he was 4 years ago.
 
To sum up this debate in football terms, Obama was Houston Nutt; conservative, hesitant, playing not to lose. Romney was Bobby Petrino; aggressive, confident, playing not just to win but to dominate.

I won't be happy voting for either candidate
Politicians simply get rich handling the money of working people
They think they are gods.......but
 
I always laugh at the way Razivoir weighs in to protect Obummer every time it comes up. Even though we have a 2 party system, the Democratic Party has been hijacked by radicals (both environmentalists and card carrying socialists). This is truly an election between America and European Populism. I don't think Obummer understands economics 101 and Romney was having to explain it to him. You can tell 1 person has created jobs and signed paychecks and 1 guy has never employed anyone (outside of giving them welfare).

The reason Obama struggles so much is that he never has to defend himself face to face without a telepromter. the media will never question his policies. Tonight he was EXPOSED. I can't imagine his campaign would allow him to debate again. IT IS UNREAL HOW MANY TIMES WHEN ASKED A QUESTION, OBAMA STARTED TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. I dont think he can think on his feet and respond. To blame this on the moderator or anyone else is laughable.

Keep on defending buddy. Haha joke.
 
the world is a dangerous place and America has positioned herself as a big loser if things blow up in some of the oil producing places
 
Round two: I'm fading Obama. I'm saying he'll bounce back and put Romney on the defensive. During the Republican debates you could see Romney get flustered, when he was on the defense. The Democrats know this and will come back for blood.

I saw a poll a while back that surveyed Tea Party members and determined that 40%d were liberal.

Why do you call the Tea Party "Crazy".

Speaking of crazy... what about those occupy people? They havce no clue.
 
When Obama started talking about his grandmother and Lincoln and the spirit of theAmerican people I knew he was toast in this debate.

He was doing what Democrats do... appealing to emotion..... because Mitt was killing him on the facts.

I listen to all the Democrats saying that Mitt's plans lacked Specificity. Well he was more specific than Obama was. Besides, how specific can you be in 2 or 3 minutes?

You want specifics... go read his web site.
 
I thought his answer to the specifics question was right on target. The leader sets the general goals and then works with his team to find the path to reach those goals. It's not done in a vacuum.
 
Oh I think he understands everything that Ryan is saying and he most likely agrees. He just doesn't care because it doesn't matter to him or his progressive friends what anything actually costs. What ever it costs they will just tax, fine and extract any which way they can from the tax payers. It's just money and the gov can make more or tax more. It's for the greater good so the books never have to balance, they just don't have to. That's the beauty of gov, the books never have to make common sense. The gov never fails it just prints more ot taxes more to survive. Money isn't real to the progressive minded politician or the progressive minded voter.
