Romney clearly won. It didn't appear to me Obama was all that prepared and he should have been. CNN this morning ran a flash poll and Romney won with 67%. A CNN poll and Romney won 67%??? That clearly tells you who won.
Smartest posts in this thread.

I will admit that I am at work so I got interrupted once or twice, but my initial reaction was that each candidate did what we thought they would, that it was a tie. Nothing jumped out at me from either guy. Now, after hearing the analysis, I started thinking "maybe obama was too laid back", etc. but my initial, untainted reaction to both candidates' performences was "meh."
Given his success in business and personal wealth, I think Mitt Romney could probably put a bit hole in your assertion he doesn't understand economics.
Well, you lost the thread in the first post. If you think I'm voting for Obama you don't pay any attention.
This is true. I think Romney has a much better handle on economics than Scott. WTF does Scott know on the subject anyhow?
Anyone who thinks lower taxes sparks job growth certainly doesn't have the slightest understanding of America's tax code.
The Republican party would have a REAL problem on their hands if the average American understood that employee compensation is a tax deductible expense
I didn't accuse scott of being ignorant on economics -- he's probably got a better grasp than Obama but, if he thinks the Obama plan of piling up debt, flooding the country with devalued dollars, and giving handouts to cronies that then fold up shop is the way to turn around this economy, I'd say scott doesn't know much.
Romney has turned just about everything he's touched to gold. When scott quits trolling obscure internet forums and gets his first hundred million under his belt, I'll might change my tune. And, I hasten to add, scott stands a better chance of doing so under a Romney economic plan than one designed by Obama -- or whoever is crafting his idiotic policies these days.
Your party thought this was a recipe for success when it was Bush's economic plan
Uh, no.Your party thought this was a recipe for success when it was Bush's economic plan
romney performed better than the kenyan dumbass but still not enough to turn around the momentum imho, the mormon won the battle but obama will win the war eventually
was never a cruise walk for the in bent president in the first place, given the government debt and unemployment rate both of which are record high now. people would always tend to attribute the whole mess of to the president, rather than blame a senator or a former state governor imho. obama was scorched and it was a natural disadvantage than even obama couldn't overcome, despite his worldclass oratory
It's impossible to win a debate if you fail to actually answer a single question, no matter how much confidence and charisma you may show in your aversion. That said, Obama's refusal/reluctance to challenge either the lack of truth or the lack of substance in so many of Romney's answers is, in my opinion, easily as big a failing.
All this debate did for me was confirm our continued discursive devolution.
Uh, yes.
So you didn't vote for Dubya while he was creating a massive deficit, inflating our currency, and rewarding his cronies in the defense industry?
If you equate business success with knowledge of macroeconomics, then you're a bigger fool than I previously thought. And that is saying a lot.
That's a pretty ty fact checker. Look at this one.
How exactly is Obama lying here? Until Romney actually says how he plans on compensating for the cuts, I think it's fair to assume it will cut revenue.THE FACTS: Obama's claim that Romney wants to cut taxes by $5 trillion doesn't add up. Presumably, Obama was talking about the effect of Romney's tax plan over 10 years, which is common in Washington. But Obama's math doesn't take into account Romney's entire plan.
Romney proposes to reduce income tax rates by 20 percent and eliminate the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax. The Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group, says that would reduce federal tax revenues by $465 billion in 2015, which would add up to about $5 trillion over 10 years.
However, Romney says he wants to pay for the tax cuts by reducing or eliminating tax credits, deductions and exemptions. The goal is a simpler tax code that raises the same amount of money as the current system but does it in a more efficient manner.
The knock on Romney's plan, which Obama accurately cited, is that Romney has refused to say which tax breaks he would eliminate to pay for the lower rates.
Running a country isn't anything like running a business. This is a terrible argument.
What in Obama's background or his performance as President gives you the idea he understands personal economics, much less macroeconomics.
And, I am equating Romney's success in business and politics to him having a better understanding of economics than does Barack Obama.
Reading is fundamental.
And, if that all Romney were, you might have a point -- after all, I think George Soros would be a horrible president. But, we're not just referring to Romney's business experience. Being executive of a state and running an international event like the Olympics certainly gives you more executive and diplomatic experience than being a community organizer and Senator.
Last night, that showed. Barack Obama is a manufactured politician that wilted without the benefit of someone else's words and a teleprompter.
