I heard in a prior election that:

1) 75% of the audience leaves just after the first hour is up in the first debate.

2) The share declines with successive debates.

And in my opinion, 3) It takes a lot of ad buys to make up for a tepid performance in the first debate.

Finally, I love the media’s total miss of the fantasy “tax break” for shipping jobs overseas. This was after ignoring it for twenty years. I guess the president being made out to be a liar or making a very stupid mistake is not a gaffe.

The noise of indignation would be like that covering Vietnam body counts or “Mission Accomplished” if the right pulled it. This analogy is decent since the left is at war with capitalism.

That was just the first debate, you don’t think that Obama and his minions in the media are going to take that lying down do you? I don’t trust these guys as far as I can throw them.

You’ve got a point, but the problem for Democrats is there are 4 debates not 3… and you (and they) are forgetting what comes next.

This, followed by the Ryan/Biden debate is going to set the mood. To avoid Obama going into the last two needing two wins for a net “tie” Biden has to out-debate Ryan.

Once that fails to appear, Obama is down 2/2 with 2 to go… there’s no “win” left possible and he’s playing for a draw at best.

We’ve got this debate holding for a week, then Ryan/Biden for 5 days. It’ll be the 16th of this month before Obama has another shot.

If Biden doesn’t stop this there will be 2 weeks of drubbing to lead this debate showdown.

It’s like being 0-3 in the world series… sure you might still pull it out in a 4 game sweep, but any fans who aren’t “die hard” about you have decided to start looking at next season already. You’re crushed by the momentum of your early losses, not enthused that you’ll “do better next time”.

If Obama had won, or even just tied… he’d be ok (I think nobody expects Biden to whoop Ryan so a tie & loss could be glossed over) but two drubbings to lead off the 4 debate set won’t be good optics for anyone who is persuadable on the Obama side.

Buh-bye Obama.

This coming from Michael Moore who could not be visually enhanced by holograms he is so ugly.

So, is getting Romney’s boot extracted from his a$$ going to be covered by Obamacare?

I don’t think its one of the approved IPAB procedures.

Neah,he can go to ER for that :)

I just read a tweet by Michael Moore suggesting that the lighting was done to visually enhance Gov. Romney. These people aren’t right in their heads.

Lool :) the thing is Romney is objectively a very good looking individual, and it’s not me who says that, ‘science’ does :)….so, my point is that he does not really need any enhamvement (lignt wise orotherwise) to make him look good, same like bad lighting wouldn’t have much of an effect on him and wouldn’t change the fact that be looks good…and that hair is perfection :)… Now, bama, entirely different story, he mignt do with some good lighting, he’s no Denzel for sure :)…though he might be the only one in the whole world who thinks of himself as eye candy :)…but the truth is he looked really awful last night, tired and depressed, and frankly, a bit….how, to put it, oh yeah, not visually pleasing :)….

I slept like a baby last night.

The facebook posters on my page that are in the tank have only one thing to say in Obama’s defense. “What’s with Romneys swarmy smirk.” Obviously this loss hurt.

Same here, to which I commented, “U Mad?” They are hilarious!
