RE :” And he lied and lied, and had a smirk on his face and the stupid smile when Romney was making points. “

Romney has a few weakeness that Obama went after and Romney tried to brush over. He also threw in some War on Women zingers which he didnt try before.

I got the impression from the focus group that with the crappy economy Obama’s emphasizing tax increases on the rich is not working and even maybe backfiring on him.

Maybe Americans WOULD rather have a job than a welfare check.

Ironically if Romney was POTUS it probably would be working

WTH are you talking about? I’ve only called Sarah a troll because she repeatedly made post saying Crowley was doing great, when in fact she was horrible.

I’m not sure that “nice guy” Romney did enough to keep his momentum going. He didn’t make overt gaffes, but is that enough? He might have been better sticking to the questions asked instead of going into such detail from his own related sound bites.

I think Planned Parenthoods do mammograms in some areas...

They also have OB-GYN people...

My daughter had a midwife from PP for one of her children..

She wanted a midwife because and thats where her insurance sent her..

in another state...

She worked under a doctor in the hospital though and the doctor who did the c-section wasnt PP...

Strange world...

SO..... you’re not going to vote for Crowley for President, correct?

Aleister Crowley's kid? What could possibly go wrong?

My favorite...”I was raised by a single mother”

ummmmm.....no. Not true.

Did you expect him to say "I was raised by an Indonesian tranny nanny named Turdi?"

The debate wasn't in West Hollywood...

” Romney had few weak points but he was generally strong confident looking and he looked Presidential.”

I can’t watch Obama, so I needed to hear from a reliable FReeper. Evidently, Romney did pretty well.

Yep, I always turn to FR for these things. Don’t have the guts to watch myself...
this site was awful last night...
so I went to Hot Air...
The commentary wasn’t as good but at least I could follow what was going on.
Can things be fixed here before Election Night?
Pretty please?

” “Look Mr POTUS, the reason why you made up the story about the youtube riot is because you had already claimed that Bin Laden’s death made these diplomats safer and now they are dead due to your incompetence. “”

Romney needs to do this. Obama can’t get around it, because it is TRUE.

She’s not my heroine. She admitted she was wrong.

That was not OK, she jumped in to correct that issue (and was wrong), and yet didn’t correct any of Obama’s inane assertions.

I just was expecting so much worse, and I think she made a tremendous effort (for a CNN-gal) to damper her liberal leanings.

She pressed Obama for details, seemed (to me) peeved at his obfuscations.

Now would Mark Levin have been better? Of course. But I think that she was impressively NOT deferential to the President overall.

We could, after-all, agree to disagree, no?

I don’t think the average American can define “socialism”
but they sure as hell know when they don’t have a job. They know when their friends & relatives are out of work. They know when they pay over 4 bucks for a gallon of gas. They know when their wallet is empty. Obama was on watch, and he is responsible. They know they are suffering, and they grimace
when they see the Obama clan spending $50,000/wk for a Cape Cod estate. They know JayZ and Obama are drinking $200.00 a bottle booze. Isolate these things, and they aren’t much, but taken as an aggregation, they really chafe.

As much as commenters are making a big deal out of Candy helping Obama... does anyone think it helped ? Anyone ?


maybe not, who knows what might have followed? O was ready to pop a vessel. That’ll have to serve as sufficient for now. The last debate may be full contact.

All the snap polls have Romney up 4-6 points after debate, not that disastrous I guess.
Hope you’er feeling better this morning.
