This moderator is SOOOO BAAAAD. Give them a mute mic button next time. And be brutal about interceptions and last words and shit.

 

[pestul]

All the jokes about the Xbox Live poll... isn't the average user age reported to be about 25+? Again, joking aside, this debate is terribad.

 

[Red]

To those who don't dive deep into what he's saying, Romney is coming across as a man with a clear idea of what he wants to do.

Yeah, it all sounds great. I was glad Obama was pointing out the flaws and omissions early on. But Romney looks more confident up there.

Why even have a moderator at this point?

 

[Suikoguy]

So far,

Romney - Lots of talking.
Obama - Lots of careful talking.

Pretty much.
The difference is disposition is quite vast.

 

[speedline]

Very, very impressed with Romney tonight. Obama is looking like a complete amateur.

 

[jakncoke]

Romney's smirk is freaking me out, I just got in.

been like that all debate.

 

[ZeroRay]

Hit that gong Jim!

 

[pigeon]

Obama's pause time is so high tonight compared to other nights. Eric Erickson is already passed out in postorgasmic stupor.

 

[commish]

Romney is "winning" this debate. But he's "winning" it in the same sense that the Wii was "winning" the console race.

A+

 

[DSN2K]

obama walking over jim now..

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

According to a Nintendo WiiVote poll mint is better than chocolate chip ice cream.

What? The chocolate chips are meant to be housed within the mint ice cream. I don't understand your zany American politics.

 

[HylianTom]

Owww! "Borrow money from your parents."

Ouch.

 

[shadyspace]

Romney started strong tonight but he's given up

 

[ivysaur12]

Borrow money from your parents!!!!

Bam bam blicka blam!

 

[The Frankman]

Obama is being too nice and respectful of Romney right now.

EDIT: OUCH WOW NEVERMIND

 

[Cousteau]

This should really be the end of Mitt's chances.

 

[Monocle]

All he said was God. Some of you people are so touchy.

He referenced a radical unscientific metaphysics like it's a settled issue.

 

[SRG01]

Oh snap, he brought the "borrow from parents" line

 

[Baconsammy]

Obama comes off as rambling because he actually talks about details instead of rhetoric.

 

[Kazerei]

So far,

Romney - Lots of talking.
Obama - Lots of careful talking.

I agree with this. But if you aren't really paying attention, Romney's fluidity seems more impressive.

 

[Phoenix]

Ownage...

 

[Master Thespian]

Just borrow the money.

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Romney is "winning" this debate. But he's "winning" it in the same sense that the Wii was "winning" the console race.

So you are saying he is winning in a landslide? Gotcha.

 

[Zeus Molecules]

Very, very impressed with Romney tonight. Obama is looking like a complete amateur.

....

 

[Fox318]

This debate is a mess.

 

[timetokill]

Hey Obama, I don't really like hearing about how we're giving away SO MUCH MONEY IN STUDENT LOANS!

I'd rather hear about how school is getting cheaper. Kids are being fucked by the money in loans they have.

 

[sphagnum]

Did everyone magically forget that Obama has never been a good debater? He's always cerebral and takes forever to respond to things and goes all over the place. This was the case in 2008, no reason to think it would be different in 2012.

The reason he won the 2008 debates was because McCain was so laughably bad.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

DAMN SON!

"Borro money from your parents"

That's a zinger, sir.

A zinger.

 

[jon bones]

DAMN he did it.

borrow the money from your parents.

 

[Souldriver]

So far,

Romney - Lots of talking.
Obama - Lots of careful talking.

True, but you could see it as...

Romney - On point, very fluent. Says much in little time.
Obama - Slow and stuttering. Says little in much time.

 

[criesofthepast]

I think the pres is too distracted by the thought of Michelle's anniversary gift to him later tonight to give an F about this debate.

Cutting PBS support (0.012% of budget) to help balance the Federal budget is like deleting text files to make room on your 500Gig hard drive

[AndresON777]

Romney's smirk is freaking me out, I just got in.

lol it is terrifying

 

[EmCeeGramr]

THATS A FUCKING LIE

no they're right mint chocolate chip is the best

 

[slit]

Come on, enough beating around the bush. Let'em just start throwing blows.

 

[apana]

Romney is "winning" this debate. But he's "winning" it in the same sense that the Wii was "winning" the console race.

I don't think Obama is completely kicking Romney's ass in the same way the Wii kicked Mitt Romney's....wait what am I talking about?

 

[pestul]

Very, very impressed with Romney tonight. Obama is looking like a complete amateur.

He's really really good at presenting lies yes. But that's what politicians are for anyway right?

 

[Y2Kev]

ZINGER

 

[Officerrob]

Another "zinger"

 

[CrankyJay]

Lol Mitt burned Obama.

 

[Gorillaz]

Got DAMN Jim is getting shitted on by mitts and bams

 

[Wes]

He practiced those zingers for two months.

 

[Owzers]

ZING

Romney laying down the facts. By not talking about facts.

darn, Romney attacking those terrible green jobs.

 

[Forever]

Green jerbs again?

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ou your plane...

 

[Gray Man]

Its clear that Romney does better when talking about the economy.

 

[Jak140]

ROMNEY ZINGER!

 

[stryker1138]

Who the fuck wants to hear these two rattle off the most basic policies of their parties? The Democrats support strong federal policies and the Republicans want states to do everything? YOU'RE KIDDING.

These are the worst debate topics ever.

 

[Raxus]

So far,

Romney - Lots of talking.
Obama - Lots of careful talking.

Jim - I, uh,...
Romney and Obama - Shut up Jim, blah blah blah...

 

[Red Blaster]

Snoozefest overall
