I could be wrong

Yes I agree with this. I would hope that is what would be pleasing to the audience, and it is what Obama is good at. He remains calm in the storm and can make tough decisions with a cool head. That is one of the things he is great at. We don't need bluff and blunder.

I think Obama needs to spend more time on making the case of how he can keep moving the country forward. Don't let the bullshit pass by, but at the same time focus more on what he can do and has done.

I really wonder if Romney can pull off looking empathetic. I am sure he is practicing real hard. I just want to see one glimmer when a regular person asks him a question and it is obvious he has no clue what the person is talking about.

I'd be surprised if Romney screwed up, but he did make the Big Bird gaffe. I am not sure if that hurt him, but that's the kind of thing that happens when he talks off the cuff.

yeah I'm not so sure Big Bird hurt him. Some think there is better things to talk about rather than Big Bird.. although we all love Big Bird!

Taking my seat ringside. I hope the President will appear more enthusiastic about wanting to be re-elected and not allow Romney to get away with untruths without any sort of rebuff, challenge and clarification.

It would be nice to hear something about poverty, housing, LGBTQ issues, or climate change tonight. It's asking a lot, I know.

Look at all them gray hairs on our President!

Romney's bullshit of talking over the Moderator and talking over President Obama is just absolutely the most ridiculously bullyish and PRIVILEGED behavior that I have ever witnessed in a debate format.

I wish a deranged, rabid gorilla would run up on the stage and bite his damn face off.
