Having been in law enforcement for over thirty years and attending many hours of training in interviewing and body language I watched The One’s body language more than what words he spoke. No eye contact with Romney, constantly looking down, pursed lips, nodding his head in agreement when Romney was speaking, his constant fidgeting and shuffling his feet told me volumes. He was out of his league. He is truly an empty suit way in over his head.

Was thinking more on the line of a medical emergency that would put him in the hospital for a couple of days. I'm sure he'd be able to find a WI Dr to write him an excuse note.

So what did our local news here in Houston have to say about the debate? Poor Big Bird is going to lose his job.

Seriously?

Romney did an incredible job. I was very pleasantly surprised.

“Off topic, but is Thompson gonna be able to pull out the Senate race?”

It’s going to be a squeaker! Tammy has a LOT of out of state $ and the Full Faith and Credit of the Socialist Party of America. She’s being exposed a little, and Tommy pretty much mopped the floor with her in their debate, but she’s basically our version of Barney Frank. In a dress. Not that there’s anything WRONG with that. *SMIRK*

I’d say our side had a Positive Outcome last night! Now I’m sort of sad I didn’t watch it, but I can YouTube it if I need to loose my cookies, LOL!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

LOL! Sorry. I’m involved with a bear hunter. The only way to spell it now is b-e-a-r. ;)

You know how you get that “terribly embarrassed” knot in your stomach watching someone who is making a fool of themselves. After five minute of watching, moved to other room where it could still be heard, but could not stand to watch anymore....such an embarrassment!

Well, I had a window open with Twitter, one open with The Blaze and couldn’t get into FR half the night. Did we ever get those new servers? (I have lightening internet thanks to the hubby’s job)

I see I multiple posted during that DDOS attack (I'm guessing it was an attack, anyway).

I don't know about their server upgrade, but even if they're new, a DDOS attack can still overload servers, because it's an attack that overwhelms the servers' ability to answer all incoming requests because of the massive incoming volume.

Your husband's job is good for fast Internet! Nice! :-)

Great post,its clear that once the telepromter is not in the room he's toast. Plus you simply can't make free market arguments with a commie philosophy.

I’ve got the highest speed Comcast and it’s normally super fast, too. I finally just gave up last night. Like you said, election night is going to be crazy.

[Windflier]

SO, what excuse will he use to stay home?

"I caught bi-polar disorder from Jesse Jackson Jr."

[hoosiermama]

From what I hear that may not be the only thing that been spread around the family. You know JJ’s biological daddy is Noah Robinson and that Michelle Robinson was referred to as “Sis” by JJJ and his siblings. (She spend a great deal of time in the home as a youth according to a freeper who grew up with them) Seems the Robinson are all from the Friends Plantation area of the Carolinas.

Wasn’t even able to get on last night. Kept givving “No Service” message.

[UKrepublican]

Is it so wrong that I want to watch this debate again? Such was the beating Romney dished out, it makes for great entertainment!

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Obama will probably bomb Iran after he bombs in the next debate.

Re: Gilligan debating Mr. Howell...funniest thing I have read about this on both FR and Ace of Spades (and I have read some brilliant stuff between the two about this debate!) Bravo!

[netmilsmom]

>>(I’m guessing it was an attack, anyway).<<

I suspect you’re right.

[MagUSNRET]

I agree with you!
I tried MANY MANY times to reply to you last night or comment on the thread...it was so damned slow!

So much for the “Please OH Please send more money so we can upgrade the servers” last two begathons!

Ironic (or intentional perhaps?) that the site seems to ALWAYS slow down during beg a thons, isnt it! (SNARK!)

Great seeing you anyway :-)

[Albion Wilde]

It was murder! Hope he brings it even more next time. As the Italians say, "When the donkey is down, give it another kick!"

GRASSHOPPER: Master Po, I want to learn Tiger kung fu!

MASTER PO: Very well. First, begin by putting your opponent on the ground...

GRASSHOPPER: Wait, Master Po, how do I do that?

MASTER PO: Oh, putting your opponent on the ground is the easy part...it’s everything you have to do to him after that, that is hard.
