Obama did brilliantly last night at the debate
We need to recognize that Obama will never be one of those Debate champions that just blows us away with orating brilliancy. That's Joe Biden's forte and I think we'll see the gloves come off in that debate.
Obama is a master chess player that has his moves planned about 10 steps ahead and last night Romney fell into Obama's trap.
It isn't the 90 minutes that two candidates stand on stage debating the issues that determine who is the 'winner'.
It's the 3-4 days afterwards when the press does their job (well most of them - we expect Faux News to slack) tear apart the debate details and fact check them to the public.
Here's a scoop - you cannot debate a person who relies on made up facts and lies to win their point. But you win the debate by allowing that person to spew out all their misinformation and let the critics decide who knew their subject matter the best. He's like that old SNL character that Jon Lovitz use to do of a pathological liar. In the end I half expected for MItt to say 'Yeah that's the ticket'
The fact that Romney is still touting that '$700bil+ so-called "RAID" of Medicare' is a joke. Especially since the idea was first found in the Ryan budget as a way to clean up fraud and excessive paperwork in the system.
They say you know when a junkie is lying - they move their lips. Last night we saw the ultimate junkie on display at the debate and the moment his lips started moving we knew the guy was lying and that person was Mitt Romney.
Obama didn't have to go for the kill - he just laid the rope out there and let Mitt do it to himself.
Edit NOTE: To clarify things I did sleep thru part of it. Was sick yesterday but what I missed I followed up with on the news.

41. you are right.
There was no way he could keep up with all the LIES that spewed out of Mittsy's headhole. Everything that ****er said was a huge lie.
Obama did get a few under the radar sort of jabs at Romney (about how the teaparty has kidnapped the Pugs, for ex). Romney looked cool as a cuke coming onto the stage and about 15 minutes in or so he started falling apart. Obama started hitting back, in that gentle and deadly way he has where his victim isn't sure what happened, and you could see Mitt change in front of your eyes from that moment forward.
He became red faced, his eyes went all that funny way they do when he's flailing and he started waving his arms around.
Obama won. the pundits and yappers don't know what they're talking about except they need some excitement. Now I hear Rather saying this debate could make Obama lose. holy ****. That is so stupid it's unbelievable.

Frank has already awarded that name to the Prosense primitive.

Yeah, sorry. It went to the Prosense primitive.
The LynneSin primitive has many other characteristics upon which one can re-baptize her with a new monicker that's distinctively her.
