I read that he lost his eye at the age of 11 during a brawl with a “thug.”

First, there was no “gotcha moment”.

I don't know about that. I think his facts and figures were pretty startling to many people. And when Romney said Obama reminded him of his sons when they were younger, when they would keep repeating the same thing over and over hoping their dad would believe it - I thought that was pretty good.

The numbers coming out after last night’s debate will help make any accusation of a Romney win on Nov 6 “theft” at the polls laughable (MSM polling seems to have been weighting Obama’s numbers).

Also the 90 billion in one year on green losers was a gothca and it showed written all over Obama’s face. The truth of it embarrassed the hell out of him.

Ah, the female mind.....

Well, some females anyway. This female was loving watching Obama crash and burn.

The U.K. Telegraph, one of the better Brit papers, had some fun with their guest blogger/writer. This is the paper's introduction to his piece:

Dan Hodges is a Blairite cuckoo in the Miliband nest. He has worked for the Labour Party, the GMB trade union and managed numerous independent political campaigns. He writes about Labour with tribal loyalty and without reservation.

You have touched on something I believe has been working for zero from the beginning, pity. I think it was operating at a deep level, mostly in the subconscious minds of many people. Looking at his childhood and birth circumstances, there is much to pity. Because of this there could be some people actually more sympathetic to him after getting his ass kicked in a debate.

I told someone four years ago that pity and “compassion” are not good reasons to put someone in charge of the United States.

Well Dan is doubling down on his stupidity

There is not one moment that I could point to as evidence that either candidate actually “lost” the election.

I can, I have watched everyone of these since 1988.

The killer last night was Obama “You might want to move on to the next topic Jim.”

Every debate has moments that resonate in voters minds. That one is going to stick. Obama looking to the supposed ref to rescue him. The common thread in most voters comments to pollsters is “we want a leader who will show us how to get out of this mess”

Romney showed he is a leader last night while Obama showed he is not.

Last night Frank Luntz, the gold standard of focus group pollsters, had 24 undecided voters watch the debate with him. 13 of the 24 were Obama 2008 voters.

More the half said the debate persuaded them to vote for Romney. Luntz said he has never seen results like that before.

It really was that bad for 0.

The guy is delusional.

Lehrer had to coach Obama on every significant point, and give him the words to repeat.

Obama makes an empty suit look effective.

I think Obama blew this debate intentionally. The debate was about the economy. The news is now all about how badly Obama handled one debate on one night, not how he's handled the economy for the last 4 years.

If he does well on the next debate, people will forget about last night, and they were successfully distracted from ever thinking about what he's done for the last 4 years.

British writers are sometimes very naive when writing about political events that happen in America. This is one of those times.
