When Romney invoked Reagan, wasn't it to accuse Obama of trickle down? And didn't somebody pressure Ryan the other day until he admitted Romney's ecomomic plan is trickle down? IS REAGANCHRIST NOW OFFICIALLY POLITICAL POISON?

I lol'ed. Romney blinked like crazy and wiped his eye. Didn't Anne say recently that she was worried about his emotional stability if he won?
Bet he went home and KICKED THE CAT.

I'll level with you all.

I'm going to call this debate for Romney.

Obama had the stronger positions, but he didn't show his teeth. In fact, Obama almost never shows his teeth, but that's a different rant. Romney scored more points, and even though he was full of shit as usual, Obama failed to expose how full of shit he is in a snappy way. Yes, I said snappy, because Obama is running for President of America, not President of some country where people are smart and weight the evidence.

I think the ploy was to maybe let him get something semi-concrete out in order to try and pin his jello-ass down until election day (maybe that would be part of why Obama poked at him repeatedly for details on these plans he keeps saying he has?). Let Romney make more gaffes ("your poor"?), let him make himself look like a ginormous ass (which he did, stomping on poor Lehrer that much), let him do some sort of concrete outlining and then hold him to it.

You could be right, and my impression could be heavily filtered through my exasperation at not having an actual Liberal to vote for. But I have to question Obama's strategy of always angling for a center that keeps creeping to the right. No matter what he does he will be painted as a rabid Communist by the opposition. An opposition who, I might add, has spent at least two years running a successful campaign of running hard and fast to the right, dragging Obama close behind them, while still getting away with calling him an extreme Leftist. Obama, for his part, seems blissfully unaware of this, and is apparently more than happy to keep chasing these assholes down Crazy Street.

So when I say Romney won the debate, what I really mean to say is Obama failed to kick Romney's ass and stand up for real progressivism, and instead spent most of his time stuttering out weak apologetics for his "not quite as batshit insane" policies.

I felt bad for him, the way I felt bad for my Grandfather as he tried to program the VCR.

And the president's quaalude problem really has to be addressed.

In the future they won't even pretend the debates are about anything substantive. Instead of a stage, there'll be a boxing ring. And instead of questions, they'll just have a meter to see how loud the crowd gets every time one of the candidates says something. And instead of sentences, they'll speak in slogans.

Oh wait, that isn't the future.

I don't think it's got anything to do with age.

If you're too scrutizing, then regardless of who gets in, they'll remember how you tried to screw them over.  Goodbye White House access, "off the record" talks with administration insiders and "anonymous" tipoffs.  You'll be blacklisted, it's that simple.

So, let's pretend I'm just some random guy with no actual knowledge of the facts, who doesn't do any homework. You know, like 90% of Americans. All I got from this debate was "Yes you did"/"No I didn't," "Yes I did"/"No you didn't" bullshit. So, basically zero real information, just two jackasses pretending not to flirt with each other.

So the only thing I really have to go on is presentation, in that case. And here's the presentation I saw, in all honesty: Romney was smooth, on point, and persistent. Obama was timid, stuttering, and played defense the entire time. The few occasions where he went after Romney, he always used too many numbers and referred to "studies," which may or may not be accurate, since as Romney pointed out, you can find a study to back up any claim you want.

Now, since I really do know the facts, my decision isn't in question. But to someone who is just now starting to pay attention, it's pretty clear who won the debate.

There are some deluded Democrats who claim that Obama was using this debate to get Romney to talk, and then hang him with his own words later.

I mean, Romney did talk a lot of shit last night.  And he got a lot of facts and numbers wrong. But just like Vex said, no one cares.  Everyone just took things at face values.  It's as if their attitudes were, "It must be true, it's a NUMBER!"

Problem:  The next debate isn't about domestic policy.

Problem:  He had enough to hang Romney at the beginning of the debate, and didn't use it.

Yeah, but here's the thing:  Debates don't sell the ideas, they sell the presence of the candidates.

QuoteDENVER—Following last night's nationally televised presidential debate, President Barack Obama's 11-year-old daughter Sasha reportedly asked her father why he was "acting like such a goddamned pussy up there." "Daddy, how come you were being such a little bitch?" asked the sixth-grader, who told the president she was "genuinely worried" that maybe somebody had "cut Daddy's balls off" right before he took the stage. "What happened, Dad? Were you on your period or something? Maybe the next time you're in front of the entire country for an hour and a half you should try not letting another man spank you on the ass like that." Sources added that Obama's youngest daughter then offered to help the president go "look for [his] dick, because apparently it's gone missing."
