Imagine how different this past week would have gone if Democrats weren't calling for Obama's head.

Has anyone seen this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E87gciwebw&feature=g-all-lik
I would like to know what AP's internals look like. CNN's were already setup in favor of the republicans.
No matter what they are trying to push I know what I watched tonight.
Apparently substance doesn't matter at all during a debate. I hate this fucking country.

Its a lot harder to lie to others when your more in touch with reality.... Same reason Democrats lie less to themselves.

Tried to put on CNN, Cable is telling me it won't come on.
Even my cable is telling me CNN doesn't deserve to be seen.

If substance mattered, this election would already be over.

YOU did.
Imagine these aren't politics and you don't have a side. Imagine 2 people are trying to convince you to, say, go work for them or go to their college.
Both have a pitch for you but at the end, but points at you and says, "Use common sense. Choose me."
How would you honestly react to that?

Ultimately both sides are going to claim their guy won tonight. This really shows just how bad Obama lost last week - I didn't see anyone wasting their time defending that performance. Obama just might lose another debate, but there's no way both sides will pretty much agree - he'll no doubt do better and fire up his base

If one was a shitty school and the other was great and the great school offered me a full scholarship and said use common sense I would fucking agree wholeheartedly

Thanks captain obvious.
We have all said Fox News would claim victory for Romney even if he literally shit his pants and fucked a donkey in front of everyone.
Problem for liberal media is they don't know how to lie.
How much more do we have to go over this? Republicans never admit defeat. Just look at all the republican tweets about biased moderating. I mean seriously? Just because republicans always "win" in their mind no matter what doesn't mean they won this debate or that this was a "draw".

Bill Maher should be good tomorrow, especially with Ann Coulter attempting to run damage control

Now assume you can't decide which school is better, like an undecided voter.
Since a donkey is the democrat's mascot that would be seen as a huge positive for Romney in conservative circles.
I'm really getting sick and tired of your nonsense, grow up.

Fixed that for you. "Democrats" aren't the problem.
Actually Fox didn't claim victory right after. They attacked Biden and the Moderator lol

Ha that are a large part of the problem.

Or, more accurately, assume you somehow can't parse 46 months of the Obama administration and 30 months of the Romney campaign and/or the archives of those months available with naught but a Google search separating you from that knowledge, and need someone to condescendingly spout their talking points at you for 90 minutes.

Stop getting emotional, I am trying to have a serious conversation. My general point is being made by other people as well

Both sides tend to defend their guy, and voters ultimately decide who won. Last week republicans, democrats, independents, and the media said Obama lost. That type of unanimous implosion is most likely not going to happen again for Obama - he'll likely do well enough so that his side defends him fiercely, the media picks a side, and independents pick a side.
It's not, a lot of GOPpers are posting it on twitter now and acting like it's real but there's been no source given.
I can't find it either, link or it didn't happen.

Can we all at least agree that despite a few missteps Raddatz did a great job of keeping both candidates on their toes and actually asking for specifics? I would like to see her do the next presidential debate

Dude, you are assuming that people make informed decisions about things like this.
I would think a LOT of people's main exposure to the candidates happens during these debates and a lot of times, it's based on how they "feel" about a certain one vs. the other.
They aren't running to Fact Check to see what is true or false.
They get confirmation on whatever their positions are and these debates just cement it.
The fact that we still have people running around calling Obama a Socialist/Communist/Marxist/Nazi shows how much people research a given candidate.

Its like blaming the press for uncovering a story of your misdeeds. It misses the point.

Wait, Biden cracked on Ryan for voting for 2 wars we couldn't afford and put them on a credit card...Biden voted for both the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
Yeah, a lot of people don't research the candidates. As far as the socialist, etc., that just tells me a person doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about, and the conversation ends there. I pretty much rule them out as a functioning adult at that point.

MSNBC's twitter ticker is hilarious, shows a Norquist tweet and then follows with a Bill Maher tweet.

But they still get to vote.
And that is my point as to why it's not outlandish to think that Biden performance isn't off putting to a certain segment of the electorate.

MSNBC replayed Ryan's answer on abortion and jeez, you can just sense Ryan's disappointment in having to take Romney's position.
The dude who posted that ap poll on twitter just said this.
LOL if it's an online poll. Fuck, we shouldn't even be paying attention to worthless snap polls period.
Yea a guy with that name is real trustworthy. The ap has their own Twitter, if they have a poll they'll post it themselves.

Granted, though Biden claimed he was there saying we couldn't afford it and voted against it. He didn't.
My favorite moment of the debate was Biden's attempt to dampen the hysteria over Iran. I still disagree with the Administration's strategy. But they at least seem cognizant that the threat is exaggerated.
Has he retweeted you yet?

It also highlights just how deceptive Bibi's little picture show was. Israel and republicans continually frame the issue as one of Iran shoving green stuff into a big rocket somewhere, and once it's full...game over man!
Not stopping several people (including some in the RW media) to claim that it's real and also to claim that the CBS poll doesn't count because someone on twitter said it was online.
