Romney is trying to boss Candy around the way he did Jim Leher. B.O. is trying to get her to control things better.

was last week when Biden kicked Ryan's ass. This is almost as much fun ( I'm Irish-american, so that was more fun because it looked like a family fight).

Mitt is petulant, seething and bullying the moderator for more time. He's coming off as a total an entitled asshole. The President is looking like he's having a really good time.

Romney may be annouing to us, but he is holding his own pretty well. If the press said Biden lost then they will say that Obama got slaughtered.

Biden won and most people really know that no matter what the MSM says.

Closing in on much better. Barack's certainly holding his own, and IMO, Romney starting to get testy.
Oh, my God! Obama to Romney, "You're the last person who's going to get tough on China."

But a little disgusted, there were a few times I couldn't believe (well I can really) the lack of respect when Romony is talking to the President. This was at the beginning btw.

You should watch. I was too afraid to watch myself but I did after reading some posts. Romney's not a happy camper. GOOD!

But the President has exceeded even my best expectations, so far.

Mitt's been slipping up since the minute he got on board. He even tried to pull a couple of Lehrers on Mrs. Crowley, too.

It's very difficult to do that -- answer the question and also get a few additional zingers in with each answer.
