President Obama and Mitt Romney meet for the first of three presidential debates starting at 9pm ET from the University of Denver. The 90-minute debate will be moderated by Jim Lehrer. C-SPAN Live coverage begins at 7pm ET.
I am normally more nervous than the candidate I support, but tonite I believe there is every reason for optimism.
Romney is ready, every road in his life has led to this moment.
I believe we are going to see a visionary, sharp, and well-spoken Romney who will talk directly to the American people about the stakes of our future: more government or more freedom.
I feel sorry for Romney....he is under A LOT of pressure tonight......
It’s the untiring work of the media that makes it possible.
It makes you realize how popular Romney is when people can’t tell if the jokes are coming from the right or left.
I’m tempted to make a President Romney bet on intrade, before the debate.
I noticed he has been drinking alot, hopefully he downed a 12 pack before game time tonite
Never feel sorry for a warrior going into battle... feel pride and confidence.

No. Don't feel sorry for him. He knows he's trying to replace a sitting, "historic" president and Mitt's in this to win it. He's ready. ;)
Roger that. If you got stuck on guard duty, on the perimeter, at midnight, in Injun territory, who would you rather have with you Romney or Obama? Mitt's gonna do just fine.
Abba Father, Amen, So Be It tonight.....

It took PeeWee Nancypants only 6 years and 2 teleprompters to get the putt shot in the right hole.
That graphic looks like it was created by a lefty. It has both Biden AND Ryan listed as idiots. Ryan is one of the smartest guys in politics right now. Biden is about the dumbest.
Watching Obama’s old video on fox. Holy moly, he’d be thrown out of a production of Gone With the Wind for his over the top suthn accent!! Did he have to have the TelePrompTer written like “Dey doan keh ‘bout people in N’awlins!”? He learned to speak surrounded by only white people. He faked that dialect and not well. I think Hillary’s might have been more authentic.
Advice from Newt Gingrich:
Enjoy the evening
"Mitt Romney ought to walk into that first debate as a remarkably fortunate man.
God has given him a wonderful, loving wife, five great sons, wonderful daughters in law, loving grandchildren.
His mother and father gave him a fabulous American upbringing.
His Church has taught him faith and faithfulness and serving others.
His hard work and intelligence have made him a wealthy man.
Now he has a chance to share with the freest and most successful people in history.
He should relax and bring to bear a lifetime of experience at decency, honesty, determination, applied intelligence and hard work.
He will do just fine".
Cheers to you to. 53 minutes and counting.
LOL. Me Rikey....
Here in the Keys I would say its 50/50. But over all a lot more GOP stuff with other races.
Nice words from Newt.
