Because I was in a little cabin in the north woods with no electricity, but thankfully a cell signal. I was disappointed with Obama's performance. I thought he sounded lackluster, and let RMoney get away with one lie after the next. I also cringed when he said that he and RMoney actually have similar positions on Medicare and Social Security.

I think that debate gave the right-leaning independents reason to consider RMoney more seriously.

But in any case I'd rather people be real and in a bad or low-key mood than fake gregarious. So I give little thought to Obamas demeanor and thought he did very well. He made some incredibly important points. I was quite surprised at the big "Romney won" news and even more surprised that the media didn't seem interested in what they actually said.

i couldn't give a rat's behind about what a president looks like or sounds like.
he can pick his nose and fart in a debate for all i care.

just so long as he's effective in advancing policies that actually help the country.

i'd much rather have that than a president who fit the image and led us off a cliff.
