The problem with these debates is nobody asks the hard hitting questions
anymore. If I was the moderator, these are the kinds of questions you
could expect to hear from me:

Governor Romney, you have said that the debt and deficits are among the
most important issues in this campaign. If you are elected, and
everything goes according to the plan you won't let is see, what do you
project the national debt will be after your first four years in office?
Will it be higher or lower than the current $16 trillion, and by how
much? Please be specific.

President Obama, what would you say is your greatest accomplishment
during your first term: saving the US from another Great Depression,
finding and killing the US's arch-enemy, Osama bin Laden, reforming the
nation's broken health care system, ending don't ask-don't tell,
stopping the war in Iraq, or one of the others?

Governor Romney, it is said you believe in magic underpants. What's up
with that? Please give us a short list of the the wackiest Mormon stuff
you really believe, so the voters can make an informed decision for
themselves whether or not you are batshit crazy.

President Obama, you have had some marginal results with your NCAA
tourney bracket picks. If you are re-elected, can you give the American
public some reassurance that your picks in the second term will be more
consistent?

Governor Romney, the US is going into debt more than a trillion dollars
a year, with income tax rates among their lowest in modern history and
tax receipts at the grossly unsustainable level of 16% of GDP, yet you
have been bragging that your tax plan is "revenue neutral." The question
on the minds of many Americans, are you a fucking idiot?

President Obama, your wife has pushed hard for healthy eating and diet
reform, going so far as to plant an organic garden on the White House
lawn. Did you try any of the vegetables that were harvested from that
garden, and were they good? What were your favorites?

Governor Romney, you have made hundreds of millions off the backs of
ordinary middle-class workers, cutting their jobs by fracturing and
selling off the companies with which they were employed to line your
pockets and those of your wealthy partners, yet you keep large sums of
money in offshore tax and privacy havens, insulated from the US economy.
The question, sir, is why do you hate America?

President Obama, you have been the subject of every racist slur,
stereotype, meme, or insult the racist right could possibly dream up.
How do you stay so calm, cool and composed in the face of evil?

Governor Romney, until you were 30, you were a member of a racist
organization that *explicitly* excluded African-Americans from positions
of leadership. How did you come to be involved in such an organization,
why did you stay, and why do you hate darkies?

President Obama, you have received some attention for the number of
rounds of golf you play. What kind of clubs do you use, and what is your
favorite golf accessory?

Governor Romney, you recently claimed that you "don't care about the
very poor," and that you'd never convince 47% of Americans to take
responsibility for their lives. Why are you such an asshole?

Questioners in these debates almost always try to inject themselves
into the "game" with embarassing, gaffe-inducing questions. Jim
Lehrer did a great moderation job by letting the players play.

I bet you'll get plenty of snarky questions in the next rounds;
90% aimed at Romney.

did you catch the part where lehrer had to remind obama that he wanted a
more "balanced" approach to debt, taxes, and spending cuts?

Yeah, that was my favorite part. Other than Obama claiming his plan would
take $4T off of the "deficit" and provided an example of a whole $2
BILLION to gas and oil companies.

CNN did the President no favors with their split-screen presentation.
Every time Obama talked, Romney was studying him and processing his words,
readying for the counterpunch. While the majority of the time that Romney
was speaking, Obama was looking down at his podium.

The deduction cap was an inspired bit from Romney - he can avoid talking
about WHICH loopholes/deductions he wants to eliminate and sell that the
cap will only affect high income Americans. This was as good or even
better a performance than the Florida debate that essentially won him the
GOP nomination. And I say that as someone who's voting for none of the
above.

That was a tactical error to not have Obama prepared to engage more with
his opponent. I think that's why Romney was generally viewed as the
winner, he came ready to debate Obama, Obama came to go over his talking
points. It's one thing to make your case directly to the audience but
you can't just ignore your opponent in a debate.

By 'winning;' you mean brightest tie, facts, substance and dodging? If that's what you were looking for, Romney won that part. Until you look at the substance. Romney had to lie and dodge. If you saw President Obama's speech in Denver this morning; you'd see who actually won.

Oh, wait, you've admitted you have no clue as to the Ryan Bill. You actually can't judge anthing.

Using Jerry's method for quoting, here is what he just said. " By
winning, you mean brightest tie, fact sand substance? If that's what
you were looking for, Romney won"

LOL and that's a much more accurate quote of Jerry, than any of the
"quotes" he's putting out there for Romney.

No, winning, in televised political debates, means making the best
impression on the majority of the viewers. There's no question that
Romney did that.
