Al Gore blames Obama's debate performance on Denver altitude
quote: Al Gore: "Obama arrived in Denver at 2pm today. Just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5000 feet and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don't know."

To make up for it, Al Gore suggested the next Debate be held in Death Valley.

How about -
“Obama’s a narcissistic dumbass with a 90 IQ that can’t form an intelligent thought unless he reads it off a teleprompter”?

It’s hillarious how caught off guard the media is today about zero getting routed so bad last nite. They didn’t even consider that this would happen........that shows you that they are not near as smart as they think.

I doubt this is the reason but if you are coming from near sea level to 5,000 feet you do need at least 24 hours to acclimate.
Even if were the true reason for Obama’s poor performance, it only proves that he and his team aren’t smart enough to think ahead and Romney and his team were.

To think that Gore came within less than a thousand votes of becoming president is frightening.
God really was looking out for America.
To: TigerClaws
Let’s say that is true; Obama’s performance was negatively effected by the altitude and conversely, Romney’s was better because he practiced at that altitude... wouldn’t you say advantage to the one who planned accordingly? And isn’t that what we want in a president and not someone who just wings it?

The air in planes is pressurized so that doesn’t help in acclimitizing to high altidue.

Right you are, I was just talking about the altitude excuse. I still remember when Monica Lewinsky appeared before the grand jury. You could tell that she had an ear piece and was straining to hear her handlers giving her instructions.

Were the debates held from Pikes Peak? That might make algore’s excuse somewhat believable.

My wife went to bed early so she missed the Denver debacle but I wrote her a note saying “the democrats will blame the thin air for the debate” and stuck it in her bag..

I think commercial aircraft are usually pressurized to around 6,000-8,000 ft, Denver is between 5,000 - 6,000. Considering the excessive amount of time Obama has spent in Airforce One he should be well acclimated to the altitude in Denver.
