Did any of you actually watch this debate? Your posts seem to indicate otherwise.

By the way, congrats Mitt Romney on winning the presidency.

There just isn't much Obama can do to fight off the "last 4 years" argument, and people don't seem to care that Romney will not explain in detail how his economic plan will work.

[ElNono]

Ok mr. literal. you got the idea though

The VP debate actually stopped the bleeding... it's a close race now regardless

[baseline bum]

I'll take the Obamacare repeal, tbh

I'd take it too, but Ryancare with everyone paying for the boomers' benefits and then getting shafted when they hit 65 is worse tbh.

ohio is still going to be key..obama phone is the kryptonite thus far. the masses aren't getting off the gravy train without a fight tbh.

That's why I will be in Akron next week, to drum up support for my candidate, oh and teach a class.

[angrydude]

at least according to Gallup.

Ohio is key

I agree. The vouchers bull is indeed a death panel. But hey, destroying medicare will probably earn them political damnation in the long run.

Romney was stuttering and for some reason kept asking Obama questions

Which was actually against the rules of the debate.

[ElNono]

at least according to Gallup.

I'm sorry. I forgot appealing to the great republican polling firm gallup was cherry-picking

[FkLA]

Chalk up another W for Obama tbh.

You don't know what cherry picking means do you?

I didn't call your poll cherry picking... non-sequiturs are non-sequiturs

[Nbadan]

One poll over an aggregate of polls is the point, especially one that measures swing states into the equation

Any moderator ever half-assed fact checked a candidate in real time?

Just curious

[O.J. Simpson]

It was a conspiracy!

hard to fact check "I'm gonna create a gazillion jobs!"

[FuzzyLumpkins]

I think it would be cool if they had a ticker that was on a screen behind the candidates they cannot see that was showing fact checking information.
