Debate consensus from the office

1. Obama whipped Willard's ass. - Even the the Willard fans in the office say so too but they couch it in terms of Obama being a bully. There was no reply to the question if Romney can't handle bully Obama how he gonna handle Iran or Vlad?

2. Binders full of Women comment is huge -- HUGE. Lot's and lots of jokes - has one of the righties saying she can't vote for him in spite of the fact she hates Obama. Probably just posturing but she normally will defend him no matter what.

3. One person SWEARS they heard Romney tell the lady who asked him to stipulate which deductions he get rid of for the middle class that he would put her deductions "in a lock box". He said everyone was talking at once but if you listen carefully you can hear Romney say it to her.

4. Even one of the righties admitted that if Romney is correct and oil production off public lands has gone down - that's probably a good thing overall. If we can up production and still protect public land and national parks that's a good thing.

5. Romney lacks maturity to stand up for his own views because he's had it too easy in life. Not enough adversity and rejection to make him strong. His flip flops and poor performance in a heated debate are the result. A Ron Paul fan here in the office said most Righties knew this was the exact weakness of Romney's that would cost the R's the White House this election.
