Romney is coming off like a fucking bully.

Louisiana and Texas pretty much have people making loans out of their garage--car title and payday loans.

lol obama will never adjust his pace of talking

The moderator is the moderator. The other two people are running for the most powerful office in the world. No way the two fighting over that don't run roughshod over the stupid moderator.

Also, Romney is both for and against Dodd-Frank. Awesome.

OBAMA has spoken for two minutes longer than ROMNEY so far. Yell at him some, tool of the librul media.

In fairness, that's cause he pauses after every other word.

Right, I feel like Romney's entire summer of flailing was just rope-a-dope to make Obama think Romney couldn't pivot to the center.

All snark aside, can you imagine any of the other Republican candidates for the nomination trying to do this? Cain, Bachmann, Perry. Maybe Newt, who was a good debater but just an unbearable dickhead.

I award both of these dudes no points and may God descend from Kolob and have no mercy on their souls

I know. He's out of control. Seems to be calming down a little, though, as Obama is doing better.

The bipartisan argument is so dumb. If Obama proposed saving babies from falling out of buildings, Republicans would work against it.

obamacare was modeled after romney's MA plan... i don't get that line at all

And his line about young people being allowed on their parents' coverage already is a clever lie. You can't stay on it past 22.

Jeff, what is your view of the debate and it's potential effect on the race?

Yep. And yet again, Obama came close to a knockout punch, and then stopped short to lecture some more.

What's with the big black rectangle in the middle of the two candidates?
