18 minutes in I was wonked out.

was all I needed to see/hear. Rules? What rules? Mitt's rich guy, CEO attitude of entitlement and lack of courtesy was on full display.

but I was sleepy.

Very wonky. It bugs me when they just throw out big round numbers -- "100,000 new math and science teachers" sounds good but why exactly 100,000 ? Wouldn't real numbers be tied back to the student population or something in the real world. 5 trillion, 2 trillion.

Hope the MSM will pin Mitt down on which loopholes he would close to cover his 5 trillion dollar tax cut for the rich.

Mitt Romney could announce that he was giving me and only me half his fortune and I still would not vote for the SOB.

It was on here in South Korea, but close to when I had to go to work. I figured I'd wait until evening here and watch it on Youtube. After checking on DU I decided to skip it. I had such a crap load of reading to do it probably saved me lots of time.
