Nobody's talking about the debate yet?

To me, Obama fell flat tonight. So much so it was almost a little painful for me. I'm hoping he'll go in for the kill next debate because boy, was that rough.

As far as facts go, they were both full of it, as usual. Just on pure style I was expecting Obama to win easily, and early on it he was winning. But it didn't last long, and Romney won most of the debate and going away.

I'm trying to be balanced on the substance, below. It helps that on most things like Obamacare vs. Romneycare, neither side is particularly appealing.

Obama should quit trying to strawman Romney on imaginary positions, and keep hammering him on the principles that Romney actually shares with W. Bush which he did. And point out more clearly the economy has improved over time on his watch, even if he hasn't had the dramatic recovery that Clinton and Reagan could point to when they ran for re-election.

Romney should quit saying he's going to repeal whole programs of Obama's then say only change parts of them, and hammer Obama on the lack of recovery in four years, which he did. And point out clearly his success in his previous office and his own plans, which he did in as much detail as other presidential candidates including Senator Obama has done.

I don't expect every debate to be like this, but if they were, Romney would win the election handily.

Did you honestly claim to not be a liberal and then send me to Priorities USA Action? Gotta admit, thats pretty funny right there.

For a real accounting of it, try reading this. It hits both sides. From the Washington Post Fact Checker. The Washington Post is a left leaning publication as it is. See, im sending you someplace that isnt a massive right wing site that only lies in the conservitives favor such as the place you sent me, known as a left wing site that blatantly lies about the liberal causes.

It seemed like Obama was not that interested in being there. Debates are more about selling yourself over your ideas, people tend to get lost in all the numbers and issues that both candidates usually bring up. I was a bit surprised about his demeanor.

Romneys problem is he needs to, for lack of a better way of explaining it, appear more human. Not exactly sure if he accomplished that as much as he needed but his demeanor seemed better than Obama's.

Obama needs to come hard in the next debate. He had his ass handed to him tonight.

If this continues through the next 2 debates I know which candidate I will be voting for.

I personally didn't care for Obama coming out and saying "I had 5 seconds until you interrupted me". Just go on like each candidate did for the majority of the entire debate. No reason to come across as an Ass.

Don't think he did,he was playing by the rules of the debate,next time cut off Romney and say hell with the rules.

I agree with you,I was mad at the education segment of the debate ,Romney say Mass has the best schools...nope....
Newsweek's Top 20 High Schools: Northeast - Newsweek and The Daily Beast

only one high school in the top 20 of the northeast and that's out on the Cape.

Re: 2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)

Mitt 1 Obama 0

It wasnt even close, Obama didnt look prepared. Al Sharpton and Rachel Madow were so mad on MSNBC after the debate, it was hilarious. I woulda loved to see a Smackdown thread on that debate last night. Obama better tighten his belt and bring it next time.

Bad news is all the pressure is now on Biden for next week, which is never good.
