If Obama was this overbearing and vociferous, he would be just another aggressive black man. No one would let him do what Romney is doing.

I think Romney is clearly winning. Not killing him, but clearly winning. I think, but am not sure if it's more of a hope, that this will not be a big deal given the few undecideds.


fwiw i think andrew sullivan needs to untwist his panties, though


10.12 pm. Finally, Obama manages to point out the vagueness of Romney's hazy alternatives. But Romney, who just rolls ovr Lehrer. Yet another round to Romney. I don't think Obama has won a single exchange in this entire debate.



cmon now


I don't think there is much of a queston that Romney has been the much better presenter tonight.

But then W's first debate performance was close to disastrous. Who knows if any of this matters.

I don't get it.

Was referring to the stiff flip-flopper from Massachusetts having a much better first debate than the incumbent president. And hopefully still losing.

I guess my parents' plan was different. I haven't been 22 for seven years though.

Yeah, it's been that way for us before Obama care as well. It makes a lot of sense--parents are paying to keep their 22-26 year olds on insurance, an age group that probably consumes less healthcare than any other. I think over those 4 years, I went to the doctor maybe once because to have a boil lanced. Premiums are probably a lot more than health expenses for that group.

He said that coverage was already "in the marketplace." The problem was that it wasn't affordable.

I count at least three zingers, but I've also been drinking.

"Republicans and Democrats both love America."

Guess Romney doesn't talk to many Republicans about their talking points

Do you think Romney really cares about people who are hurting? Because this is the first time I've heard him say anything about that.

Yeah, the green energy line was ripe for a pushback. He didn't hit it, as he hasn't hit many of the openings Mitt has given him.

He's rather famously on tape showing great disdain for them, isn't he?
