The president was way off his game last night -- could have something to do with his day job. Romney's been practicing for that moment for, what, six or seven years now? I would guess the president will be ready for the next go-around.
Kevin Foley (10/04):
Rope a dope. Romney fired everything in his gun.
Obama will make it count in #2 and, most important, #3 just before voters go to the polls.
GOPlease (10/04):
Brian, that's funny. Perhaps instead of his 104 rounds of golf, he could have spent a little time practicing. And didn't a member of his campaign say (before the debate) that he'd practiced more than any sitting president?
And, Kevin, you are nothing if not predictable -- whistling past the (Obama presidency) graveyard once again. Bush's 6 pt. 2004 lead over Kerry was erased by his poor showing in the first debate. Watch Romney's approval rating go up -- by at least 4-5%. And fundraising will follow.
Bill Huey, Strategic Communications (10/04):
True enough, Romney nailed the president on a few issues, such as his promise to halve the deficit and a $90 billion subsidy for renewable energy, but Kevin Foley makes a good point: What's the Mittster gonna talk about next time? You can only hammer on the same old boring numbers so many times before people want to hear about where you will take the country if elected.
Veep (10/05):
Both of them sounded a little too wonky for my taste, but Romney certainly stepped up to make this a race after things were trending toward an Obama landslide. Unfortunately, we're at the nauseating point in the race where every day is graded a win or loss for either candidate. Today's job numbers may tip toward Obama, but Romney may win the weekend! What is wrong with us?
Wes Pedersen (10/05):
The best retort of the night, Romney to Obama: "I've been in business 25 years and I don't know what you're talking about." The debate was like two guys out on a ledge. Romney still and resolute, Obama looking for the safety net when there was none. Let's see what the Vegas odds are on this race now.
Joe Honick (10/05):
Talk about predictabiity, GOP is right on his/her game(since the neutered correspondent never ID's himself/herself). What is overlooked is that, right after the debate, Mitt says he makes thousands of speeches, drops all knds of claims, ergo his major gaffe on the "47%" was merely "INELEGANT"....raising the question as to why his boys fairly leap on the smallest commentary Obama might make. Could it be they need to double their protective efforts for their boy? Fact is the "47%" commentary was no gaffe. It was a clear expression of reality that could not be taken back the same way Mitt's flipflops on taxes and medical care have been.
And for GOP, most of us really do identify ourselvs and take the crap for our own gaffes.
GOPlease (10/05):
Identify myself -- in this liberal echo chamber? No thanks. I'm just pleased that, in a marked departure from past practice, O'Dwyer has actually run commentary that isn't straight from the Michael Moore playbook. Kudos to Neil and (most of the time) Fraser for being the exceptions to this MoveOn.Org gathering.
Joe Honick, GMA International Ltd (10/09):
Sadly, GOP uses an unfortunate excuse for not identifying himself/herself because of aperception of some "liberal echo chamger, failing to accept that his/her comments are always respectfully peinted without prejudice despite his/her judgment of otherd.

One thing about the GOP that no one can deny: they are consistent. If it's not the liberal media, it's a leftist conspiracy, the latest being that the new job numbers released today were cooked to help Obama. Perhaps those paranoid GOPers ought to insist that all health plans should provide unlimited psychiatric help. Question: how come when opinions and stats favor the Republicans, as jobs numbers did for months, they always think it's entirely correct? Identity: [email protected] |
