The Frank Luntz focus group .... REAL people as opposed to talking heads, was ‘wowed’ by Romney. About 3/4 of them voted for Obama last time .... maybe 2-4 are voting for him this time. Two of those still voting for Obama are Ozombie women spouting the line of ‘going back to the stone age’ on women’s rights if Romney is elected. Frank went down the front row asking for descriptions of Romney - “presidential” was probably the most frequent word used. I was really surprised and encouraged when I saw the reaction - very enthusiastic. I got the impression that the first debate was ‘hey, this guy is good, I think I could vote for him’ and the second debate, with Romney holding his own (at a minimum) with having to debate Crowley as well, tipped them over the edge & convinced them Romney is the real deal. Romney’s economic message/plan is really sinking in and making sense. Obama was referred to as a “bullshitter” by one fellow and a lot of heads were nodding - the fellow using that term said he was fooled by the BS & voted for Obama the last election, but not this one. These are real people as opposed to the ‘talking heads’. If this group’s views of the debate(s) are anywhere near true for others watching the debate, Romney’s numbers will continue to go up and Obama is going to lose.
• If “O’s” initial response was vague on the Libya issue… that is what the WH wanted!
• If America did not comprehend precisely what the WH response to this was… that was the plan!
• If the debate venue looked like a Mulligan for “O”, on his response to the Libyan attack… THAT is what it WAS!
THIS is the usual Liberal procedure in dealing with everything. Buying acres of wiggle-room RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING with deliberately confusing and ambiguous language IS their standard practice.
The administration (AND “O”) was NEVER clear or consistent in their response to this.
It is typical of the way “O” has handled EVERYTHING. That was intentional and calculated.
He is so disinclined to the idea of personal responsibility, so unqualified at decision-making and incapable of commitment that his responses ALWAYS take on this imprecise, ill-defined and ambiguous character.
It is INVARIABLY the way he responds to a challenge or a question!!
Crowely is just another obama slut who never intended the debate to be fair or moderated— just won by obama.
Oh my!
LOL LOL LOL!!!
If Obama was a man and a leader, he would have fired Clinton right before the debate. So when the question of Benghazi came up, Obama could have said the State Department was responsible for security at the embassies, Clinton didn’t do her job and was fired for it.
Instead, Clinton now gets to ride out the clock until 12/31 when she said 4 years ago that she would not serve another term as SecState.

Candy was handy to Censor Mitt,
No apologies there, not one little bit!
“Keep Obama afloat” was her duty charge,
Keep censoring Romney and make Obama look fit!
The Censoring Liberal Agenda Media (CLAM)
Will give Crowley her reward,
The First Woman Referee in Presidential Town Hall,
Proudly, so proudly kept Obama from a bad fall.
And now the CLAM workers,
And all Axelrod’s men
Will spin Demo glue
Over Obama’s thin skin.
Just saw a clip of her explanation on CNN:
http://freebeacon.com/candy-crowley-he-was-right/
It wasn’t an apology at all, and she led her comment right off by IMO purposely misquoting the quote, if you will.
She said, “When Obama said ‘These acts of terror won’t stand’ or whatever the whole quote was’”, when he never referred to “these acts”, implying that’s what Benghazi was, at all. And it was based on this further lie that she tried to claim that Romney was wrong for using the word ‘terror’.
Despicable.
What’s worse is obama asked Crowley to refer to the transcript. Excuse me, which transcript was he talking about? Did she have a copy of it in front of her and were the questions given to obama ahead of time? I think so.
I agree. the story's never had as much legs as it should have. Had Obama and Crowley not tag-teamed Romney with an admitted lie, and had Michelle not started applauding, the story would be finis by now.
If they had said that the embassy was attacked by terrorists and we are going to hunt them down. This thing would have been over in a day or two But none of that would have fit into the "arab spring" strategy and that obama has made the muslims love us.p> I agree. the story's never had as much legs as it should have. Had Obama and Crowley not tag-teamed Romney with an admitted lie, and had Michelle not started applauding, the story would be finis by now.
“What’s worse is obama asked Crowley to refer to the transcript. Excuse me, which transcript was he talking about? Did she have a copy of it in front of her and were the questions given to obama ahead of time? I think so.”
I think so too. She seemed to be shuffling and looking through some papers on her desk during these shenanigans, if I recall correctly.
I do believe it was a set up, planned and rehearsed ahead of time, and carried off with glee on her part, applause from the FLOTUS, and a non-apology after the fact.
While this is GREAT news about the “undecideds” let’s not
forget that these people are from New York and it would take
a miracle of epic proportions to have the state go Republican.
I think the focus group was in Nevada .... still GREAT news!
OK!
That is great!!!
You can BET that Romney will bring this up at next week’s debate!
She made it clear before the actual debate that ‘she wasn’t going to be a fly on the wall’.
She was certainly not a fly on the wall- she was participating—not moderating.
However, I would call her a walrus at the table—not a fly on the wall.
Do you recall the one who kind of stumbled on her question and 0bama jumped in and said “you’re doing good.” And he knew that because ... he wrote the question?
Yes, that was interesting. And hopefully real voters. I suspect the real people, those who vote, may surprise the media this year.
Hope people are paying attention, better than talking about a dog on the roof.
