I'm leaning Obama in this election, kinda hoping he dominates this debate to solidify how I feel about him this go around.
 
I demand to see a Rocky style training montage of both competitors training for the debate.

Watching Kerry get under Obama's skin and Mitt practicing to be able to sit on a bar stool will be amazing.
 
whats a good place to see this streamed? last debate I used some random youtube channel that was really good (and which I should have bookmarked)
 
I'm going to vote for her (Florida).

I'm dragging y'all down to hell with me.

I'm really tempted, im with her on a lot more issues than Obama (drug war, etc) but i do favor elements of Obamacare that i dont want lost to a Romney administration.
i'm debating vote-trading with someone here on GAF for her, as i too live in FL.

That's a lot of obfuscation. Of course there were systemic shenanigans by the Republicans.

Doesn't change the fact that if those wide eyed idealists had voted strategically (intelligently) instead of voting for Nader, we would never have been cursed with Bush II. That's a plain truth.

2000. Never fucking forget.

this is kinda bullshit, though.
everyone focused on us when Gore lost, while nearly half of all eligible americans didn't turn out at the polls. those disenfranchised voters are the problem, not people who aren't happy with a 2 party system and seek another option.

Many likely wouldn't vote Democrat anyway. The Democratic party isn't entitled to every liberal vote - they have to earn it.

thank you

I'd love to see Stein and Johnson in these debates. Talk about letting the cat among the pigeons. It would have zero effect on the chances of a third party to win in the U.S., but I imagine it would be difficult for the real candidates to stay on script in the middle of that chaos. Someone might get confused and say something interesting.

this would be really awesome to see, and is specifically why it'd never happen.
 
Is this appropriate?

Didn´t know lucky ducky. Worth picking up?
 
Go Romney! If you can Lie as well as you did last time, you might have a chance to win the presidential election!!

I think Romney will win today. Obama would have had to prep for every possible answer to a question, not just ones based on Romney's campaign plans, and people don't care enough to pay attention if you point that out.
 
Oh my god, a lady on the ABC/Yahoo stream just made me rage. Talking about how Romney can respond to abortion: "I mean, there are all these billboards around, saying 'Mitt Romney is too extreme', and this is his chance to say 'no, that stuff that he's saying about me, that's not true'" and this guy says "but it is true, he'd overturn Roe v Wade" and she responds with something like "but this is his chance to say that it isn't"

This is Mitts chance to lie to 60 million people, of course he has to take it!

You do realize that's probably why those people are disenfranchised right?
 
A really really awful question in that 94 video.

Clinton handled it like a champ though, no wonder he won.
 
If I was sitting in the audience for a town hall I wouldn't dress up for it. All these guys are wearing suits. Kudos to that one guy I spot wearing a polo shirt.
 
As a word of caution, please do not watch this debate on CNN. They have that fucking dumb insta-reaction meter at the bottom which distracts you from focusing on the candidates' answers, and instead makes you focused on peoples' reaction.

Just a friendly PSA.
 
Yeah, it was pretty brutal. That woman had no idea what a recession or national debt was and how they differed.

I think you could take the question one of two ways: either it was an incredibly astute question asking for the President to link the debt with the real impact on real people, or it is a really dumb question. Her follow-ups seemed to indicate the latter.

Before they show you the woman, I thought a little girl was asking.
 
I really hope the Architect in the back gets to ask his questions about the candidates stance on the black goo from Prometheus.

That's why they're in the Cable News Circle of Shame.

I encourage everybody to use The Voice Of streams.

I honestly like the fox airing. Very basic overlay. Just be sure to turn away immediately after.
 
Lets hope Obama remembers to bring his balls this time
when does he ever "bring his balls" though? He's going to be No Drama Obama no matter how much his base tells him to go in attack mode and his opponent will spontaneously self-destruct ultimately. That's how it always plays out.
