you know, the ones with the replacement refs.

Considering Lehrer's moderating

No, it's not a gladiatorial event, but it is a debate. There will be a perceived winner and a perceived loser. No one has said that the President thinks anyone is dirt. There have been criticisms of his debate performance. And that, honey, is perfectly legitimate.

Willard continues to never give any specifics

It seems to me that lots of people think that ignoring the debate rules, and stomping all over everyone like a big fucking bully is "winning". I keep reading about how much more aggressive Romney was, blah, blah, blah... Yet, everyone ignores the fact that he went outside the damn rules, and they're all letting him get away with it. Why bother having debate rules when you are going to let one of the debaters ignore them--and then turn around and bash the other guy for staying within the rules???

And when it is encountered, people view it as a weakness. I will point out also, that while Millard had the option of primping all damn day, Syria killed people in Turkey, Turkey fired back and that I think that just might mean we have some serious shit about to happen.

Naturally you can't have it however.

regardless of whether you have bestowed to us from on high your approval for us to do that.

Afterall, its one of several debates. Some of us have the strength to wait and see and others well...

I think I would stop coming here.

So while I appreciate your apology, it was not necessary.

Its not like this is AA or something honey.

I said that dickish posts *don't* hurt my feelings. If anything, they amuse me. So why would I stop coming here?

directing the economic recovery, healthcare, social security, wars, possible SCOTUS appointments, and so on. We need a fired up candidate to bring along fired up voters to vote for him and down ticket. We can't afford for the other guys to get that fire and those down ticket votes.

Every moment counts.

so I suppose somethings slide past me like others. Since the 8 long years of Bush I feel like I pretty much know the republican playbook. Nothing new.

and that is not what this is.

thanks.

our president was not talking to the left, I think that over the next few days as Mitts lies are exposed Obama will be seen to have Won.

Unless the left keeps spinning it for Mitt!

I am so disgusted with the Eds and Beaks on msnbc and their rage against the obama machine. I haven't read much here just yet but I am sure disgust will pour forth from that cornucopia as well.

I want to puke.

We Democrats have perfected it.

His body language was terrible.

Mitt looked like he was on crack

next to that aged Ken doll too. So that's ok with me. Rmoney is an asshole. I expect people who have to stand next to assholes to look dissatisfied, I would. Don't you?

I wonder if the media will attack him the way they attacked Gore.

Not a cheerleading camp.

Virtually everyone here despises Mitt Romney. Unfortunately that doesn't mean the President had a good debate.

Provided you can provide the substance to your point of view that Obama, and not Rmoney, gave to the audience this evening.

He let lie after lie go by unchallenged time and time again. While you can be rightfully outraged that Romney lied repeatedly,and you can say it is good Obama stayed Presidential, that fact that he let the lies go without refuting them gives them legitimacy with voters who do not know better.

The snap polls are are agreeing with this, unfortunately.

Obama can and will get the momentum back, but this was not a good night for him.

You're kidding right?

Uh, do you remember the '08 primaries?

Good times tho'. Some the best arguments for or against I've ever read.
