Post by: franksolich on October 22, 2012, 08:17:13 AM: Okay, my usual and standard caution here.

Things have been going good, really good, for Mitt Romney since he got the Republican nomination.

There hasn't been a bump in the road.

But there's still 15 days before the elections, and anything can happen.

If and when it does, just keep your heads; bumps on the road to winning are a fact of life.

If something one doesn't want to happen, happens, just accept, adapt, and move on.

Persistence, tenacity, constantly plugging away, wins.

The Foreign Policy Debate will be the last nail in barky's coffin unless Romney manages to hit laughing gas and pull a Biden. I cannot, for the life of me, see how obama can possibly do anything other than shove his foot further down his throat.

I do believe that after the FP debate, you will see the rats kicking and punching each other to get off the sinking boat first.

You know, I just don't understand this "keep calm and" crap. It used to be (kinda) cute but now it's applied to everything. I mean, it's not The Force or anything. Every time I see another sign telling me to "keep calm and..." I seriously want to punch someone. It's like the way overused trend of women with long necks and some kid wearing a dunce cap and/or butterfly wings in art journals. There's a point at which something is overused so much that it is no longer inspirational, humorous or creative. Pretty much like our current administration.

Dealing with emissaries from foreign countries for the Olympics is way more experience than Zero had when he was elected. It's still more experience than Zero has.

Hell, I've been to Epcot. *I* have more experience in foreign affairs than Zero does.

And the big guy promised us something that'd be an October surprise in the Nebraska-Iowa area.

Thus far, zilch.

Maybe hers was ruined because everyone figured out what it was.

Or............... She's waiting until after the debate to quash any bounce Romney might get.

As for the big guy, maybe he had to run to Costco to stock up on mini-tacos. That could take a while.

I not sure even the Force can overcome primitive stupidity when they are in a frenzy. The primitives remind me of catching chickens for butchering. You grab one and the whole coop starts squawking, flapping, and flailing about. Just like the DUmmies when think Romney has somehow slighted the chosen one.

We're now at the beginning of the ninth inning, the score (R) 5, (D) 0.

The score's based upon progress each of the candidates have made since the conventions.

The (R) team's gone slowly-but-steadily upward; the (D) team's mired down, having made no progress at all.

So now it's the ninth inning, the (D)s up to bat.

Maybe the (D)s might get one or two up there, this last inning, but they've got to get six, to win.

It's possible, I guess (although I'm not holding my breath), that this game's over in eight and a half innings.

He can turn the economy around and he's very measured. He'll probably be more "bipartisan" than I want and it'll piss me off royally. And we're going to have to REALLY hold his feet to the fire when it comes time to SCOTUS appointments (Janice Rogers Brown). But, if he does as well (or better) on the economy as Reagan and I think he can, then Paul Ryan will win easily, as did Bush Sr. Fortunately for us, Romney's VP is more conservative than Reagan's was...thankfully Ryan's no Bush Sr.

I thought it went great; he just happened to be focused on a different group last night.

You got two groups here; the base, and the undecided-but-friendly.

Like Ballygrl, I wish he'd come out harder and made some punches.

But he already has our two votes.

It seemed to me he was concentrating upon attracting the Tanker sort of voter this time around.

We all know I highly esteem Tanker, not least because of his cool unemotional rational competence.

Tanker's never struck me as the sort of voter who likes to see knock-out-drag-out fights; he'd rather see calm reasoned arguments.

So I suspect Romney was focused on the Tanker sort of voter.

At any rate, it's all good. Whatever works.

This is perhaps more appropriate for a thread featuring the big guy in Bellevue, but anyway.....

Early this morning I read in the newspaper that the 1st and 3rd district congressmen from Nebraska, running for re-election, are taking time off from their campaigns and will be in some of the northeastern blue states instead, boosting Romney/Ryan.

I've never heard of such a thing, but I suppose it's been done before.

(The 2nd district congressman, from Omaha, is staying here in Nebraska, trying to shore up his narrow 58-41% lead in the bluest part of the state.)

I suppose it makes sense, seeing as how an (R) House could get a whole lot more done with an (R) White House.

All three congressmen are Tea Party Patriots; one wonders what sort of reaction the two are getting back east.

Even though the curtain was pulled down only a couple of minutes into the debate, we all know what the primitives said.

But one has to remember that to the primitives, purple is green, water is dry, and the earth is flat.

So one can't take the primitives' opinions seriously.

Alas! for the primitives, ignored by professional Democrats and liberals, laughed at by decent and civilized people.

I had a different take on it. I think Obama was obviously baiting and spoiling for a p**sing contest. I think Romney knew that in advance and avoided it. I don't know how he knew exactly the right strategy to pick to make Obama seem small during all three debates, but he did it, proving himself capable of always staying a step ahead of the opposition.

Well, thanks, Frank; of course I have been a dedicated ABO vote for a long time due to my own pet rocks, like the Second Amendment, intelligent long-term management and use of our military and naval forces, and putting the Constitution and Nation ahead of partisan advantage or simple Chicago-style corruption...and of course the fact I think Obama is the biggest phony ever foisted on the American public by a credulous and uncritical media.

While I do love to see really telling blows struck in conflicts, I also recognize there are many, many times when there is more to gain in the long run by not throwing them than the short-term advantage and satisfaction of delivering the killing zinger. I think that debate was one of those times, for Romney; like Ryan, he made no critical mistakes and gave his opponent no great advantage, so the momentum begun in the first debate should continue to build unimpeded.

After checking in with the democrats that post on democratunderground.com this morning all I sense is stunned silence, but I'm sure that will change as soon as the cheerleaders get going to shame them into deluding themselves again.

2 weeks to go, I will look forward, in a day or two, to the polls continuing to move in Rmoneys direction.

Much to the chagrin of the DUmmies.

Yes, as entertaining as those can be, I think there was some danger of Romney's walking into a trap, set by someone who has inside knowledge by virtue of his position. It's a careful line to walk.

I thought the apology tour segment was the best in show. Memorable and presidential. Did anybody else want to throw a vase through the TV when king zero called it a "whopper," etc.? The response was great. Measured, calm, as if speaking to a child needing correction.

Look at his opponent. The man has done nothing but follow the "rules for Radicals" for so long that it's part of his DNA. Obama is as predictable as the sun coming up in the East. Without help Obama is just another fool that can't run a coherent thought.

They (the worthless media) had to declare him the undisputed winner. They're (media and left) whole meme has been that barry is the king of foreign policy and Romney is a clueless pilgrim that can't possibly understand the 8 dimension chess game barry plays. He's media made and their reputation (such that it is) hinges on them keeping that illusion.

Reality, however, is much different, as we all witnessed. Romney jabbed little barky in the nose all night and made the sooper genius obama react to him instead of being baited into some BS playground slap fest. Romney made him look like the petulant little boy we have known little barry to be for the last 4+ years and himself look presidential. Let's face it, the man is a self made billionaire for a reason and little barry is a created myth; the successful businessman showed the entire world what a "winner" looks and acts like.

I firmly believe that in the next few days, as reality sinks in, you will see the left unmake this little twerp as fast as they made him. They've gone all in on his worthless hide and they know they're going to lose big.

Post by: DumbAss Tanker on October 23, 2012, 03:00:50 PM: There's been a lot of palaver about Romney's strategy all over the airwaves and the internet today. I think the analytical point that is being largely overlooked is the core of the Democrat strategy after Obama was not able to rebound over lost ground during the second debate.

Think about this debate together with the VP debate. In both cases, the Democrat tried to be as irritating, condescending, and dismissive as possible. This was not just asshole behavior coming out, this was the core and purpose of their planned debate strategy...they knew they would get a pass on it for themselves, but their real goal was to provoke an outburst from first Ryan, then Romney, which would become the GOP's 'Howard Dean Scream' as played out in the media. The GOP candidate would most assuredly NOT get a pass for an emotional outburst in the media coverage, no matter how great the provocation, and it would be all the media talked about for the next week.

Thanks to maturity, self-control, and good intentions, neither Ryan nor Romney stepped into the trap, but gave measured, gentlemanly-to-a-fault responses to all the barbs and provocations. The substance of the debates was NOT what the Democrats were shooting for (Although of course you would expect an incumbent President to have sufficient grasp of events, facts, and figures from his legions of official advisors and specialists to be able to soundly contest any challenger's attack in a debate). No, they wanted a 'Dean Scream,' and they failed utterly to obtain that in two tries. THAT is why Ryan and Romney won their debates in the strategic sense, even if they lacked the red meat the base wanted to see, and even if the badly-misnamed 'Points' (Being, in this case, actually 'Pointless') went more to the Dems than the GOP.

Agreed - And I expect that Team Obama wanted Romney to saber-rattle - so there could be lots of print this morning about Romney's dangerous, world destabilizing plans.

Instead on what little foreign policy was covered, Romney agreed on most of the presidents objectives, but disagreed on how to get there.

In all, It was a masterfully crafted Lucy/football moment.
