Hey Chrissy Matthews, I understand the Yankees are playing tonight.

[combat_boots]

How much more time is 0bama getting?

[Red Steel]

Please standby.....a$$ kicking in progress...

He kicking that liberal women in the work force answer out of the park.

Obama is weak on the comeback. Conception coverage. What Obama they can't afford a 99 cent rubber? Idiot.

No planned parenthood is really about abortion.

Yeah Obama, you got two daughter that you don't want punished with a baby.

[NoLibZone]

All OBama does for women is make them take the fall for his mistakes.

ZING

3.5 M more in poverty, 580K less employed

[onyx]

I’m livid.

Candy playing Biden’s Martha for the Marxist.

Romney is getting slammed.

Romney really needs to point out that he already paid the high corporate rate on his income.

Otherwise Romney is doing superbly.

#debates Good answer by Obama on women pay. effective answer on women as breadwinners of family. But they can't afford their loans and there are no jobs. Very good answer by Obama. His first. Women like Romney's answer and his woman record of appointments flexible hours, great point. Show srelates the average person. Great example of chief of staff woman

Dick Morris ‏@DickMorrisTweet #debates Romney shows need for economy srrength as feminist issue

[COUNTrecount]

Barry’s head scar looks particularly angry tonight just like him.

[Art in Idaho]

Candy setting Romney up. . interrupting when he's right on. .

What a staged event. It's obvious Obama knew about the questions and tried to remember his canned responses.

Romney articulate, focused, talked sense. Romney so much headd and shoulders above Obama in the business arena. . It really shows.

Obama loose, like the last debate, disconnected. .

[onyx]

The Marxist lying his ass off about Planned ParentHood!

They’re in the ABORTION BUSINESS!

[NoLibZone]

BINGO

WE DONT NEED TO BE IN THE ME for our energy!!!!

[gop4lyf]

Is this woman with the Bush question serious?

[markomalley]

Zer0 is actually going to intentionally bring up the contraceptive issue? Hmmmm, really getting desparate now.

And then Willard fell for the bait.

[snarkytart]

Tbh most people outside of base and activists dont give a crap about these social questions.

[Darnright]

GregGutfeld ‏@greggutfeld Obama connects like a greenpeace recruiter. Mark Knoller ‏@markknoller Shifting the focus to contraceptive coverage for women, Obama says of Romney's plan: "That’s not the kind of advocacy that women need." Freeper David Burge ‏@iowahawkblog Unemployed men and women get equal pay. Thanks, Eye Candy!

[mykroar]

OK - I am officially pissed now. A question from an undecided voter that equates Romney with Bush. Really?

[Broker]

Condoms. Free cell phones, free child care. Hurry up and get them. Obama is an angry loser

[American Constitutionalist]

Noticed they show the clock behind Romney so the people watching TV will see that Romney goes over his allowed time, but there is no time clock behind Obama ?
Also noticed Crowley has not interrupted Obama ?

[matt04]

If it smells like a plant, it probably is.

[madison10]

Maybe his scar will pop. In spite of the age difference Mitt looks younger. Must be the clean living.
