Maybe Romney's lies shocked him. But the President DID look tired and he stuttered often. Oh well....on to the next debate..

Nice, bev has kept the states updated...http://www.bbvforums.org/cgi-bin/for....cgi?pg=topics
ES&S is another screwed up fraud machine company. http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ I cannot recall, at the moment, if they merged or were bought out by diebold or sequoia or visa versa...doesn't matter really. The only good thing is to get a paper receipt. some machines are better than others. point is...can't trust it and it is even more of a reason to vote. and bain...http://www.motherjones.com/politics/...-profits-video and redistricting and karl rove and the koch brothers...this is just basic information. there is a shit storm of redistricting across the nation. http://www.democracynow.org/2011/10/..._redistricting Last edited by DMW; 10-04-2012 at 10:16 PM. |

Politico was saying that this is going to get donor money flowing again. He has had some fundraising woes lately -- Romney has.
Also, they have not had effective ads. The clips from this -- again, according to that article -- will provide a lot of good material for future ads. Plus, the increase in credibility will mean that more voters will be willing to actually listen to his message. For a few the message will resonate. Unless there are some great Obama ads focusing on Romney's lying, I think it's a net good for Romney. |

Romney is now saying that he was completely wrong about the 47% so it's going to be harder for Obama to leverage that. He still can, with something along the lines of how out of touch he must be to have thought that in the first place AND taken so long to realize he was wrong.
In the end, Obama saving the auto industry might be the difference in the election because the industrial Midwest is where this election will hinge. |

Obama is polling at 54%, so he got a bump out of the debates as well. I think folks are starting to see the real Mitt, and are not liking what they see.

Ya know, I've been thinking this is just what the president wanted people to see.The more Romney blows and goes the worst he gets,a snake oil peddler chant, sooner or later it will get him.

CNN reports that the President himself is not pleased with his performance. We'll see how it goes in two weeks. Here's hoping that Romney doesn't get much of a bump and that Obama's ad guys do some genius work.

While sleepless tonight and reading political blogs, I came across an article in the UK Telegragh (How a broker spent $520m in a drunken stupor and moved the global oil price) about a 34 yr. old oil trader who, in an alcohol induced blackout, traded "huge volumes of oil with very little cash up front and no position limit" (see article, HERE).
After the intial shock of reading how this happened, I noticed in the lower right-hand corner of their blog, a link to an The National Memo's article about Mitt Romney and the political head-spinning twist of saying that he was going to "end public finance of America's largest classroom - PBS;" which PBS fired back saying that they're going to announce the shows' newest member "Big Oil" and that if "this works out, next season we'll meet Big Oil's imaginary friend, Clean Coal" (see article, HERE). Which, in turn, led me to another article at The National Memo, which spoke to 5 reasons why Romney is a worse candidate than John McCain was, last time we had a presidential election (see article, HERE). Short form from the article:
“It’s not easy to debate a liar,” complained an email from one observer of the first presidential debate – and there was no question about which candidate he meant. Prevarication, falsification, fabrication are all familiar tactics that have been employed by Mitt Romney without much consequence to him ever since he entered public life, thanks to the inviolable taboo in the mainstream media against calling out a liar (unless, of course, he lies about sex)" (Link provided, HERE).

Yes, I thought to myself that Romney lying/changing up might have thrown Obama off. Obama's mind must have been a bit blown at that moment. Since Obama can be good at hiding emotions we may not have seen this on his face.

Rasmussen and WeAskAmerica have Romney getting bumps in Florida and Virginia. Rasmussen always sorta favors Romney, but if they detect a change, then I imagine there was one. I don't know much about the WeAskAmerica folks.
Gallup's national poll gave Obama a one point bump. Go figure. Anyway, here's hoping the job numbers make up some of the difference. Obama is lucky, and luck is part of the equation. |

Obama may have not looked good but I'm taking the high road on this one. Romney spewed so much bs that now he has nowhere to go but down. We get to vote 30 days from tomorrow and I am going to believe that the real Amerian People will know what to do. :-)

I know he's human and entitled to preferences (doesn't love campaigning) and moods, but, as I am sure he is aware of, a lot depends on his re-election, and as others have pointed out, his supporters are working their hearts out. Preferences and moods are just not relevant for the next thirty-two days.

Another article about the Obama performance.
Anyway, enough chewing over this (for me), but it is an interesting article. Quote:
I also read that Obama has had fewer press conferences than any President in recent times and many fewer impromptu Q&A sessions. I recall us bitching about how few W. had, how he would duck the press. Obama has done soft interviews on shows like "The View." I am totally not impressed with any President -- or any politician -- who does not frequently answer un-vetted questions from the serious press. Obama is criticizing Romney for elitism. Sorry, but staying above the fray like an academic and refusing to take on the rough and tumble of a White House press conference -- that's pretty elitist. I am honked off with the big man. |

The President certainly wasn't at his best in the first debate, even he knows that, but I don't think it's a problem at all.
Romney spewed so much bs, and the fact-checkers have been having a party ever since, that all he's actually accomplished is to play out plenty of rope for Obama to hang him with. Pathological liars, and sorry but I do believe Romney is one, lie so frequently and so often that eventually they can't even keep their own lies straight. He's shown us what he really thinks when he believes he's only with his rich, white cohorts in that 47% video. I don't care what he says about it afterwards....that kind of crap sticks in the backs of people's minds and gnaws. For me, for the first time in my life, I'm voting straight Democratic ticket. Period.
