Mitt got one thing right - he almost said that it is shameful for our generation to load our kids up with all this debt.  Wish Baby Bush would have understood that.....


Gotta wonder how either of these guys got through high school.  Mitt was going on about 90 billion of green subsidies being 50 times the 4 billion subsidy that big oil gets.  Obama didn't correct him...

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Well, we got to see Mitt's positions evolve once again and a few more of his famous factual inadequacies along with more of Obama's famous professor professor routine. What fun that was.

Big claims about Massachusetts having the best schools in the nation.... I bet the top 45 ahead of them would be somewhat surprised by that...

They both delivered about what I expected.  Romney driving home his $716 billion dollar meme, telling people he loves coal AND green energy

The prez?  He was pretty underwhelming tonight.

Math is not Obama's strong suite either.

I don't see coal, petroleum, and green energy as mutually exclusive.  Maybe some day when you and I are both long gone we won't need coal and petroleum but until then we need all three.

You have a link to someone actually ranking schools by the states rather than just individual High Schools?  I'm not going to spend the time going through 1000 schools and doing the analysis.

The link you provided seems to be based exclusively on preparing kids for college.  Not everyone wants or needs to go to "college".  Not getting further education is foolish but VoTechs etc are often not considered "college".  One friend told me several years ago that his two sons were NOT going to college.  They went to Okmulgee Tech to become auto mechanics.  I think the second son did eventually decide to go to college and become an engineer.  I haven't kept up with his progress.

If you post a link, it really ought to support your statement referring to it.

After tonight's debate you might replace Ryan with Obama and that would be a perfect headline.

Obama had a few inaccuracies too.  I didn't see Obama as so professorial as you apparently did. But then, I went to engineering school and only had to put up with one or maybe two classes per semester from the non-engineering or non-science community.  That must be how the liberal side of colleges convert so many students, constant indoctrination of inaccurate "facts".

I believe you have stated in the past that you are not particularly enthused with either candidate.  Did tonight's debate reinforce that opinion?

Sure, in the sense that when Obama talked about Romney's plans, Romney's response was "that's not my plan any more". His criticisms were still factually accurate with regard to what Romney maintained up until tonight.

Feel free to add any words you want.
