Mitts flag is bigger but I like Obama's tie better.

Watching with the 16 year old know it all (as all 16 year olds do)

Me - Mitt's eyes look bloodshot
Madz - he's probably drunk all the time
Me - He's Mormon
Madz - so
Me - they don't drink
Madz- Maybe it's a front

katiesue · 10-03-2012, 07:34 PM

Madz - Mitt keeps getting redder. (pause) He IS a Republican.

I remember a post on some board or another with all of you....it was after the first Bush-Kerrey debate in 2004 when Bush was awful and got destroyed. I was depressed and came on and posted about those feelings.

I guess now, 8 years later, most of you know how I felt. True Bush went on to win - I'll beat you all to the punch - but that was a serious beat down.

True.

Obama needs to stop acting presidential and call his opponent a liar and a badman.

scaeagles · 10-04-2012, 05:49 AM

If acting presidential means avoiding eye contact, stuttering, looking confused and in need of a teleprompter, and having no command of facts, then I agree - Obama was presidential!

Cadaverous Pallor · 10-04-2012, 07:16 AM

Agreed, scaeagles, Romney looked much more polished than Obama.

Too bad Romney just kept hammering on the $716b lie about Medicare. They both uttered some falsehoods but man, he must have mentioned it 30 times, and it's such baldfaced BS that his campaign won't let go. It's disgusting.

Add in that Obama was able to say um, hello, you might want to do some math, and I just hope people were paying attention to what was being said instead of Obama's stuttering.

First debate with an incumbent almost always favors the challenger anyway. Why waste the good ammo on a losing fight?

Win, lose, poised, clumsy, it does not look like a statistically significant number of potential voters were swayed from one candidate to another by this debate.
