Presidential Debate, Round II

[TulsaRufnex]

this is pretty funny.

What's funnier is that it already has over 163000 likes on it...LOL.

EDIT:  The likes at this point are racking up at a rate of about 50 a second.  This is classic.

Edited again:  SNL will have a field day with this remark, I'm predicting...

The hilarious thing is that the implication that Romney requested the binders full of women is actually a lie.

[Gaspar]

This is basically how I scored the debate, and seems to be the theme with most of the undecided polled so far:

Obama: Nothing new, no new ideas, good rebuttal, but the same message as 2008.  No new plans to grow the economy.  No justification of past performance. Continues to lay blame on others.

Romney: Good track record.  New ideas. Simple, logical solutions. Focused on jobs. Lacked some detail on specific cuts, but wants to work with congress to accomplish goals.

Now we wait, but I predict continuing movement in the polls towards Romney.

Good debate.  Both showed up this time.  Altitude didn't seem to be a factor.

Edit to add:
Candy violated the rules as we expected her to, but it's now backfiring on her because the follow-ups she asked, and interjections she made were weak.  She will never host another debate.

[Gaspar]

Now that's funny Sh!t!  most of the pannel said they were swayed to Romney, but at the end of the segment the interviewer calls it a draw. 

I told you that the media would not acknowledge anything but a victory for President Obama.  MSNBS is AMAZING!

And now for something completely different:

Luntz polled a group of mostly Obama voters.

Now, I'm confident we will see a rather significant shift this week.  Like the Biden debate, this thing is digesting and causing some tummy problems for the administration.

After two debates (Romney clearly won the first one and Obama clearly won the second one) I've come to the conclusion that Mitt Romney really is a bully and he does not like people, especially moderators.

Is he a big ol meany?

Well bless your heart!

I think most libs will conclude that President Obama won, and most righties will conclude that Romney was the clear victor.  It will be interesting to see what those in the middle think, because that is where the movement comes from.

Was her name Candy or Carnie? Sure looked like one half of Wilson Phillips.

My two cents.

Both have mastered the art of talking a lot without actually saying anything.

Early on Romney appeared much more like a professor to Obama's annoying student character. Later on I think it evened out, partly aided by Candy teaming up on Romney.

I don't know how anyone could watch that and believe there was a clear winner. However, I can unequivocally say who the clear loser was/is: US!

Makes sense that you support him since you Romney and Ryan all prefer "the market" and money to people.

They support those things no more than the current administration.

Oh really. I guess the term "self-deport" is humanitarian. My mistake.

One of the news stories on NBC this morning was how people were angry their FB pages were taken over by the debate.

After I recovered a bit from the nausea I changed the channel.

You left something out.  The word "Free." 

You are correct, individual freedom overrides government control for me.  That's just the way I'm wired.

Individual corporations you mean?
