Obama was always looking to Jim L to have him stop Romney's clock.

Romney controlled the debate.

Jim L couldn't talk because his mouth was full of Obama cock.

I thought Romney did very well. He looked a little stiff, but I suppose
he can't help that. I'm not sure there was a clear winner, though the
true believers on both sides will be declaring victory.

This was the best presidential debate in some time.

there was some chatter that holding back a bit might have been the

Romney, OTOH, had clearly done his homework with a memory full of
statistics, although some of those had already been debunked earlier
(especially that "taking 716 mil from health care" which Obama had
already explained earlier)) but he overdid the confrontational stuff.
To me that came across as bullying--not only toward Obama, but toward
Lehrer as well. I lost track of how many times Romney interrupted
Obama and he failed to stop on several occasions when Lehrer called
time. That probably fires up the loyalists, but I wonder how the
dwindling number of undecideds and independents felt about it.

In the one you saw, did Obama keep running over his time constantly
and excessively, as he did in mine?

Did he look like he was taking a hard shit?

I was at a public site with various celebrities talking about it
after. Dick Lamb (a liberal) said Romney was the winner, Leher was
the loser. Hank Brown (a conservative) said Obama had 10 lies, but
didn't mention any of Romney's lies.

Obama needed to jump all over Romney's phoney numbers (the $716BN), and
his lack of detail in his own plans. I thought Obama looked tired, and
acted over cautiously. Perhaps he was, as you say, getting Mitten's
measure, and will be more assertive in the other debates. I agree that
Romney seemed dismissive of Lehrer, and interrupted with that shit-faced
grin of his far too often. I was waiting for Mitten to run over and
tackle Lehrer and cut his hair.

While it appeared good for Romney right now, he left lots of
ammunition for Obama to show Romney as someone who keeps changing his
mind.

On the other hand, he will have to campaign more against Ryan as being
different, which probably is better for the left, as it should be
running against the right - which means Congress.

He wasn't as wooden as usual. He had the edge, but there was no
pummeling. Obama just didn't go for the jugular as he should have. I
can't imagine why he didn't bring up the 47% thing, or corrected
Romney on the $716 billion Medicare cuts, which he quoted erroneously
several times.

I score Obama as a big winner. He was obviously laying back and
letting Romney get ahead and overconfident. Like when you're playing
one-on-one with your little brother and you let him get ahead, and
then you slam dunk five in a row and throw the ball in his face.

That's called sarcasm for those of you that are slow.

Vote for Romney. Repeal the nightmares.

Strangely none of the newspapers I read this morning was calling Obama
a winner. A week ago I would have predicted the media was already
writing their editorials and claming a home run for Obama. It seems I
can't predict them. I don't know how I'm going to do on football
betting this weekend, I can't pick a winner. I can't even pick my own
nose.

Yes, I'm guessing tomorrow they will be out. CNN did a poll on the
debate and had Romney 67% to 25%. That's the only debate poll I've seen.

We are all biased but here is my take. I thought it was somewhat even
until the closing statements. Romney said specifics. Obama was
nebulous blah, blah, blah.

I thought Romney's biggest selling point was describing how he worked
with a Dem legislature and got things done, in contrast to O's
partisanship, especially in the first two years.

Commentators on MSNBC, like Chris Matthews, seemed almost furious with
O's performance.

Perhaps his debate performance is genuine....in that he is way over
his head. That certainly can be said about his empty suit leadership
the last 4 years. Perhaps he is a campaigner with little substance
beyond that. Either way, I don't have any patience for 4 more years
of this. Time to let him go.

While I thought the winner, if there really is such a thing, in the
debate was Romney, I sure didn't hear any 'specifics' from him except
when he was specific about wrong figures about Obama's stuff.

All his 'plans' were just that. No specifics whatsoever.

As to O's partisanship, you must be joking! Mitch McConnell set the
tone from the very beginning and the party followed that guidance.

I thought he was pretty clear when he said he would give tax breaks to
small businesses enabling them to hire more workers and expand the tax
base. That's what I would do. It's pretty obvious that if you want
the economy moving we should make the US more business friendly.

I prefer wonkish policy debates, where the combatants have to at least

manipulative platitudes about patriotism and the like. This one was at
least intended for adults.

And it will be fun to watch from now to the election. Obama's team is desperate. How do you whip an outclassed loser enough to make him run fast enough to beat a thoroughbred? You can only kill him trying. So the chicago thugs behind Obama will show their class and destroy themselves and their candidate. Romney will simply remain quiet while they do it.

Obama's comments on the stump today were as ineffectual and crude. In my

shows a williness to reach across the aisle. Obama continues to put up
walls. He is not an ineffective leader. He is not a leader at all.

Apparently you didn't watch the same debate that I did. Obama's plan
for everything was to have new, more, and bigger government programs.
His answer to every question was to have a government program. OTOH I
heard Romney say that to cut government spending he would discontinue
some programs. He even told Lehrer that he was going to cut off PBS.
That's the way business is run. If one part isn't working or is

You actually expect an answer?

With Romney you have to look at history and current yammerings and
actions. His past actions don't show him to be very conservative at
all, and in fact he is a progressive Republican.

But then shift to now, and all he talks are the conservative talking
points.

So IF he wins, which way will he govern? The answer is no one actually
knows. He is a crap shoot.

He has toned it down a little, but only because his focus groups are
telling him what to say to appeal to moderate Republicans. After all,
the batshit wing of the party did their job in letting him get the
nomination, and now he doesn't need them any more. If he gets elected,
he will suddenly have a bunch of Democrats to deal with and he will be
as liberal as the Romney that came up with Romneycare.

The Mittster is a problem solving kind of guy.

Every government has some socialism. Nobody wants to get rid of
roads and fire stations, for instance. It always works to some
degree, it is getting the right balance in changing conditions that is
hard.

But trickle down hasn't worked, and austerity hasn't worked.

Most roads are built at the state or local level. Fire stations are

That hardly meets Wikipedia's definition of Socialism.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a political movement, socialism includes a diverse array of
political philosophies, ranging from reformism to revolutionary
socialism. Proponents of state socialism advocate the nationalisation
of the means of production, distribution and exchange as a strategy
for implementing socialism. In contrast, libertarian socialism
proposes the traditional view of direct worker's control of the means
of production and opposes the use of state power to achieve such an
arrangement, opposing both parliamentary politics and state ownership
over the means of production. Democratic socialism seeks to establish
socialism through democratic processes and propagate its ideals within
the context of a democratic system.
--------------------------------------------------------------

I don't see anything there about fire stations and roads.

I wouldn't say they are produced. I'd say they were built. By
contractors. With money from the state. So the state really produces
nothing.

I just couldn't understand why Obama was so reluctant to call Romney

was almost no life in Obama.

Why didn't he raise the 47% question? Incidentally, Romney has now

The thing is, Mitt was completely serious at the time. For the audience

to say. But now he needs to appeal more to the center and luckily, he

Good for Mitt? This is precisely why I am opposed to him. He's
wavered on so many issues that it's startling. Now that he's gotten
the far right to get his nomination it's reversion time to his liberal
side. I find him absolutely untrustworthy. Obama's no great shakes,
but damned sure better than this upper class snob pretending to be
middle class. Hey, that's a change for RSG. :-)

Just a guess. He would rather keep the 47% statement where it is
(with his voice saying it in ads for Obama), without Romney changing
it. Debates aren't where the undecided voters will be swayed. In
the debate, Romney has very different positions than he had in the
Republican race, as the people he needs to persuade are different
people.

Even if we double Romney's wealth (into items that aren't reported in
the race), he is worth far less than many of those who were in the
same venture capital business. Does that mean the many billionaire
peers were better businessmen?

I was joking, of course. The guy has no center.

He can't. The first debate changed everything. It's going to be a
slugfest from here on in.

Now Romney has changed it, and Obama should make a point of that too.

Then Obama should've pointed that out.

I don't see what the big deal is about his wealth. Few complained
that John Kerry was wealthy, or John Edwards, or the Kennedys, or the
Roosevelts.

I'm sure Romney had a prepared answer for that, and Obama was well
aware of it.

OMG I agree with Horvath. I feel kind of weird about it.

The government is not the producer of the roads. The government is just
a pass through for the money from the taxpayers to the business who
actually build the roads.

All Romney has to say is that he evolved, just like Obama evolved last
summer when Biden put him in the corner with the homosexual issue.

In real life, we should want leaders who can evolve. But this is an
election, and we have seen that pointing out that your opponent says
one thing to his party and another to the general election is an
effective strategy.

And that doesn't happen in countries that you would define as
socialistic?
