Y'ALL CAN'T REDUCE THE DEFICIT BY MAKING OSCAR THE GROUCH EVEN MORE HOMELESS, MANG.

That's like kicking the poor guy while he's down on the ground. Fuck that shit.

Despite the jokes in here, Mitt is beating Obama in the presentation game.

he's acting like a child and being needlessly hostile whilst obama is coming across as calm and collected

Obama just looks tired and isn't as reactive as Mitt. So far at least.

Screw the debate, Im watching Jeff and his Jars instead tonight ;)

I will probably read about the debate tomorrow though...

Guys I'm not talking about what he's saying. Mostly talking about his composure compared to Obama. I don't like the guy at all, but Obama isn't bringing his A game.

Obama should just refer to The ACA as National Romneycare just for funsies and see what Mittens reaction is.

rofl "I'm not going to change this program for retirees or near retirees"

THAT'S NOT WHAT HE'S ASKING

SHUT UP MITT!

yeah obama is stuttering too much. :/

Views are going down pretty steeply.

Wait, you really think Romney's going to win? I'm pretty sure Obama's going to, even if I voted for Romney, which I'm not saying I'm going to.

haha... "I had 5 seconds before you interrupted jim"

yeah obama is stuttering too much. :/

Obama was looking pretty bad earlier but he's really turned it around with the Obamacare question.

Just wait until foreign policy when they ask if Osama is dead. Barry is gonna drop the mic and walk off stage.

Is foreign policy going to be discussed in this debate?

That part was awesome hahaha

dunno who won this debate, but Mitt impressed me.

by saying nothing?

Lot of commotion on Twitter about Mitt not actually being as successful in MA as he claims. Specifically about education:

"Joseph A. Curtatone ‏JoeCurtatone

One of the big follow up stories to this debate will be Romney's role in trying to undermine education in MA. We said no to Mitt. It worked"

He is a Massachusetts mayor for the record.

That was weird. So many points for Obama to eviscerate Romney and he just didn't capitalize on any of them. No talk about the 47%. No talk about any social issues. Not that it really matters, I think everyone knows who they're voting for at this point.

Well, I feel like he didn't want to give the Romney camp and FOX News any ammo for bringing that back up. Besides, EVERYONE heard about it.

Still. No talk about Bain Capital. No talk about any women issues. Obama looked off.

really should've talked about women issues

Why does it feel the media cycle is so predictable. I am gonna guess how this goes. Obama up in the polls, after first debate Obama loses, Romney gets a lead until 2nd debate, Obama wins 2nd debate and it is now a close call and there is no telling who is going to win the election. I wonder why the president didn't hit him with anything really. No mention of the 47% comment at all.

i just did it for the halo 4 armor.

Romney did surprisingly well. Good to see him actually say something with substance. This election is interesting again.

We may not have heard the 47% comment in the debate, but the Obama campaign has been running ads about the 47% in the various swing states and he's got a huge lead in those states.

I've had time to think about the debate without reading or listening to any analysis and I came out of it hearing nothing new. Romney had a chance to talk specifics and he didn't. It all came out neutral in the end.

Watched it. Was interesting.

what did he say that had substance? only reason romney did well because he was hyper aggressive and obama didn't call him on his bullshit enough

It doesn't really matter. Romeny was pretty much lying through his teeth the entire debate and the fact checkers are sure to have a field day but the debates are all about putting on a show. And Romeny put on a much better show than Obama tonight.

I agree, but that doesn't mean that anything he said had substance.

In the context of the Romney campaign, substance means going further than merely saying "I'm going to fix _______."
