Has anyone else wondered if the reason the President seemed so out of it
May be because he had a cold? Or wasn't feeling good?

He ususally has a lot more passion, and I doubt was because he just wanted to remain cool and reserved.

President Romney

If you think the debates moved us closer to that reality then you can expect that millions of people are going to wake up tomorrow absolutely energized and determined to make sure that is not going to happen.

Money or time.

Whatever you can.

Just sent $ 25. More later.

Just to quote a couple of the OPs.

Romney won because he didn't live up to expectations.
Given his past history... the pundits and bloggers were expecting/predicting his ****ing up, inserting his foot in his mouth, saying something stupid or asinine, but that didn't happen.

Think about it like Susan Boyle on "American Idol"; everyone laughs and jokes that this person is about to fall flat on their face... but to everyone's surprise, they don't.

When a person is expected to lose or come out the fool, and it doesn't materialize, it makes (or gives the illusion), that people/voters misjudged or were wrong the whole time.

I still don't like the guy, but I have to give him credit for beating the odds.

Romney, for the first time in his life, was pumped with caffeine
And he nearly burst a blood vessel because of it.

Calm doesn't play well with liberal base that wants an attack dog.

But it works with independents.

The only ones who were expecting Romney to do horribly were the ones that convinced themselves that a Harvard business and law grad, founder of a successful company, head of the US Olympic committee, and governor of MA was an idiot.

Only one question remains after the debate
Did Romney convince you to vote for him?

If not - do you think other people were swayed because they don't have your insight?

Undecided folks may well have not watched the debate, seen all the commercials, bothered to research anything, etc.

Chances are, most people watching this first debate knew ahead of time who they were going to vote for and that did not change.

If policy has not already made up their mind what else is their motivation? Looks? Snark? Arrogance? 'Feeling' more comfortable about one person than the other?

YOU know already who you are voting for, if you didn't, can you explain - precisely - if tonight changed your mind how and why?

Maybe you just don't realize how smart Obama is
Case in point. Romney has been practicing for months and months.

If Obama had brought up any of the Romney crazy talk/47% stuff - he would be opening the door for Romney to
throw out his well prepared and practiced rebuttal.

Also, leaving Romney unchallenged - to ramble, it created a gold mine of flip-floppy-ness that the press can
talk about for the next week.

Oh, the Straight Story primitive is being disingenious here. 

Of course most have already made up their minds, and a debate isn't going to change their minds.

That's a "given," and it's stupid to even mention it.

The debates serve two functions: the help the "undecideds" determine how they'll vote, and to charge up the base.

Romney sounded sort of like St. Peter before the cock crowed, denying just about everything he has said or proposed, but really, who expected anything but a barrage of lies and trimming from the man? I would have preferred President Obama to have hammered harder on the lies, obviously, but he did enough to hold the critter in check.

Sin novedad.

Indeed it is.

Next week's going to be even better, during the vice-presidential debate.

I am not a troll.
Been here eleven years.

I am very disappointed in tonight's debate. Far, far too many opportunities simply wasted.

Counting on the press and the Obama campaign ads to catch all of Romney's lies tonight is a poor strategy. Believing debates really don't make a difference is whistling past the graveyard.

The media has been slavering for an opportunity to run "Romney's back, it's close!" across the sky. Tonight, they got it. Romney looked like he wanted it more, and when lies don't get called out, they tend to stand.

I am not a troll.

This was not a good night.

P.S. "The moderator sucked" is no excuse. Lehrer was a train wreck, but Obama had a dozen opportunities to draw blood - big fat hanging meatballs over the plate - and he failed to swing at pretty much all of them.

You got the vice presidential debate, and then the presidential debate over foreign policy, and then the presidential debate over domestic issues.

I can't see where Bidet's going to do any good in the first one, or Barack Milhous in the second one.

The last one, Barack Milhous could recover a bit, having had the experience of this first debate under his belt, but I doubt it.

Romney, of course, lied about everything
His entire body language screamed "lie".

Other than eye contact, which he tried hard to maintain… He's a supremely accomplished liar to keep it, his stiffness, fake smiling and exaggerated hand movement was extensive. Sure signs of a practiced liar.

Most people can detect when someone else is lying, not just by having a command of the facts over the liar, but by inherently and subconsciously detecting the signs given off by the liar. Mitt Romney's body language was off the charts.

The President, on the other hand, kept his cool in spite of Romney's effort to take him off of his game with his lies.

I disagree with any argument that the President should have gotten emotional and gone off on Romney. Bullshit. The President understands that the "Angry Black Man" meme is a real danger for him. As always, he defeated it. Looks at the entire argument of the Hannity and Carlson last night with throwing that shit out there. After the President's calm, cool and fact based performance tonight, the Fox Angry Black Man crowd will look like nut jobs by offering that depiction again.

Overall, The President looked presidential, he didn't sound like a whiner over GOP intransigence, he never looked cheap, petty and resentful. His style was that of a mature adult.

Romney, on the other hand, looked like a child with his hand stuck in the cookie jar.

I'm sitting here, hearing the praise of Romney's aggressiveness in one breath from the pundits, while specifying that practically everything he said was a lie in the other.

Bullshit! Are they saying that the people actually WANT to be lied to? In praise of lies.

I'm sorry, but that is not how you win a debate.

That Obama was so easily countered and cornered tonight proves what a shitbag of a non-fighter John McCain was 4 years ago.

Around the office nobody likes Obama but everyone saddled Romney with the sins of McCain, i.e. too defined by the media, too passive, etc.

2008 wasn't lost...

...it was given away.

Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I asked the same question of my good friend Revolution just a few days ago, and he forgot to answer me.

Barack Milhous carried Wisconsin pretty good in 2008--so how come he's coming up there when he should be doing as most incumbent presidents have done, going out to campaign in states McCain carried in 2008, to increase his winning margin?

This is, uh, highly unusual, with hardly a precedent.

A Complete Disaster for Romney

by astral66

Romney spewed more lies tonight than any of us could possibly list, but the journalists will be poring over them for the next week, and matching them up with Romney's previous statements. Obama hung back and let Mitt hang himself. Mitt abandoned his platform, his campaign, his party tonight.

Obama wasn't aggressive, wasn't rude, wasn't smug. He gave his critics nothing new to put in a campaign ad. Romney has provided a wealth of lies to be used as contrast to his previous positions and statements.

I'm watching heads explode on MSNBC right now, but I think they missed it. Hayes and Sharpton seem to get it, the rest are disappointed that Obama wasn't an aggressive belligerent, as if he ever played that role.

I'm not worried, Obama has this.
