who won the debate?

[joeydb]

It was more like a public execution. Romney destroyed him.

Think of it this way, it really will clear it all for you.....Obama is OJ Simpson.The greater mass of voters are made up of Simpson's jury;and he knows it.


See?

Forgot to mention, once Rita gets out of the decompression chamber....she will remember her parallel is Johnnie Cochran and she'll get all revved up again.

Obama played this like a golfer needing a 9 on a par 3 to win. Hit the ball 50 yds, hit the ball 50 yds, etc. This was the most dangerous debate for him and the one that Romney HAD to "win" so it played out that way. I think he will be much more aggressive in the next two because he's on more solid ground and Romney isn't.

That's the feeling I got. I felt going in that there was no way Obama would win this. It's Ray Allen getting into a three point shooting contest with Dwight Howard. Ray has nothing to lose and anything short of a 10-0 or 9-1 win for him would be considered a failure. Let him win 6-5 or 7-5 and everyone will walk away feeling like Howard won. I don't think Romney said much of anything during the debate but what he did was appear much more aggresive and confident and those are important attributes in a leader. Obama clearly lost this debate tonight in the court of public opinion even if he didn't on the issues. I also think that he played a little "rope-a-dope" with Romney and let him fire a few too many of his bullets early and will use Romney's famous flip-flopping on issues to his advantage next time.

They should have also just done a WWF and thrown the ref out of the ring because Jim Lehrer was pretty much useless in the squared circle.

If Obama couldnt get it done with all the Openings he had then he isnt going to get it done elsewhere. While Romney was crowing about his 25 years business expierence why did Obama not counter with 25 years of shipping jobs out of the country, firing people, leverging companies up to their eyeballs in debt, paying yourself first, etc. When Romney talked about not funding PBS why did Obama not counter with there you go again, now you are firing Big Bird for a tax cut to reward the 1% while saddling the middle class with higher taxes. I can go on and on. He blew thhe break big time.

yeah, he had numerous chances to blow mitt away, but didn't. and i don't get why.

and i agree with bob, jim lehrer was like a replacement ref and the two players just pretty much ignored him.

slate debate 'awards'

For Best False Praise: The least believable line from Obama all night: “You've done a great job, Jim.”

and on the odds for obama:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slate...tumbling_.html


a 'decisive victory' for romney.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slate...hallenger.html



Part of the problem was that Obama got on the wrong side of what the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza calls the “fine line between sober/serious and grim/uninterested.” He seemed to be taking on the same persona that worked for him in 2008 when he was an untested leader and was eager to prove he was ready for the job. “But now that he has been in the job for four years, Obama’s demeanor came across far less well.” The Chicago Tribune throws Obama what might be the ultimate insult, describing him as “that guy at the meeting who’s surreptitiously checking his email.”


one down, two to go. romney may have won the debate, but will it help him in the real battle?

Just like the economy recovered last year.

You couldn't be any more wrong. Why is it taking you so long to grow up, Bob? Why are you still the typical left-right true believing idiot?

It's embarrassing. Do we have to devolve to caves in order for you to wake up?

What more needs to happen for you globally to realize neither of these cocksuckers we have to choose from can make things better?

What you''re doing is nothing more than insanity.

Just like the stock market crashed two weeks ago...

You're taking the narrow version of what I said and evolving it based on what I've written in the past..that's fine, but my post was about the debate. Obama was a pus.sy and played it way too safe. Forget who or who I will not vote for..that's all I meant. It's easy to hate everyone but unfortunately we're stuck with who we're stuck with.

No you said the economy would recover. It never will.

We're stuck with these two...blah blah

Wish nothing for the worst for you, defeated apologist slave punk ass.

Keep avoiding reality and leave room keys with strange women because you think money equals physical attraction and personality is nothing.

You are the worst ever.

A few conspiracy theories.....After watching the debate and realizing Ritt Mormoney will be the next prez, Riot fled to Canada or jumped a jet to France. Or some Republican mobsters are running her thru a meat grinder somewhere. Or, some of those aliens from Close Encounters abducted her. After all, everyone knows they only snatch Democrats.

Would you like to bet $50 on that? Anybody else here want to bet $50 on Romney winning the election over Obama? Hooves?

I don't bet on anything that has less integrity than horseracing.

Humm ... you do make an excellent point regarding that
