Al Gore won the debate when people watched. Then, the M$M played back the tape and Bush won!

Keep this in mind:

We all saw that Al Gore won the debate. He was great on the facts, poised but passionate.

Then, something happened on the way to the fair...

The M$M started playing snippets of Al Gore, humming and hawing, sighing and "arrogantly" sneering.

Over the next few days as we look back at the snippets of Mitt Romney losing it during tonight's debate, while the president looks cool and calm, citing facts and looking relaxed, will people STILL think Romney won?

Just curious...

Obama's sound bits from the debate that are being replayed now look great, while Mitts look and sound crazed.

and pushed by the whore media.

you can't depend on the whore media to bring up romney lies. so far they haven't all the other times he has lied.

but hopefully the obama team will have a lot of stuff thye can use for ads and romney saying different things.

47% and Bain? Well, because if he did, he could no longer push that argument. Let's save it to the last debate or in ads.

just snippets of the debate could raise eyebrows upon reflection and replay.

Do they count as the MSM? No snark intended. I think they do. I am sure they wanted to say Obama was great tonight, but they were very obviously disappointed.

Sometimes he is, but they are very emotional. Not thoughtful and too quick to fly off the handle without thinking first.

while Bush was talking. I was wondering "what is he thinking"? I didn't need to see M$M playbacks to tell me that he was a bit off in the common sense department. When he walked up close to Bush during another debate, and then, when Bush looked at him quizically, turned around looking lost and wandered back, I didn't need the M$M to tell me that this was not another good Gore moment.

I know this isn't very "progressive". I'm extremely very sorry about that. I hope you are right on "the morning after" reassessment of Romney's performance.
