I just clicked PD's tag for the first time. Made my day, LOL
I've never been able to tell if that was his old character, or if both of these personas are real. It does kind of explain the Hillary fetish though.
Same.
I'm no prognosticator but my hope is that he steps it up and goes toe to toe with Romney which should be easier now that preparedness isn't a problem. I think if he echoes the same overarching themes as the DNC he'll pull ahead. If Mitt is caught flip-flopping from the last debate and called out on it, gaffes, or gets testy Obama wins.
God can you imagine, MORE voter suppression attempts in the coming years guaranteed LOL
The scary thing is that we're relying on a CNN snap poll to determine who wins the debate. I'd never bet on that.
You have issues.

Question: Does "You didn't build that" come up tonight?
Seems like they've telegraphed their reaction. Regardless of who wins, there will be an all-out war on early voting by the GOP next cycle
Speaking of that, I wonder who the snap poll will represent this week. Knowing CNN its probably 80% white 55 year olds from Oklahoma who are unemployed
When given the opportunity to answer first, Obama needs to focus on facts from his own record that address the question. On jobs, health care, the environment, foreign policy, he has successes to point too and shouldn't be shy about it. During his rebuttals to Romney's answers, he has to be relentless on pointing out how Romney once held the complete opposite position to whatever he just said. Again, he can't be shy about this. It's all about Obama being confident and assertive in his answers. If he can do that, he has plenty of material to handle criticisms from the audience as well as hammer Romney.
I work ~50 hours a week with a large caseload, I'm on call most weekends, I have a nine month old baby, and I'm in grad school. This thread is the most nerve wracking thing I'm exposed to.

Yip.
I said coming in, best Obama can do tonight in the eyes if the media is a tie. Fox is already giving him the debate or at worst, the tie (ala Ryan). If Obama is forceful tonight and "wins" the narrative will be he was desperate, like his running mate.

I predict there will be numbers.
I work 12 hour days on a volatile television show, yet this fucking thread...

Just because of how outlandish the claims have been all year, if Romney wins, PD's tag has got to be updated to show some redemption.
He has been making crazy off-the-wall guesses for years, and a bulls-eye would probably make up for a lifetime of hitting the wall behind the dart board.

So who does PoliGAF think will win the Indiana senate seat? It's not talked about on here often at all, despite being a very close race that could flip a seat from R to D.
All the news and polls I've seen have Donnelly and Mourdock dead even. I think Mourdock has the edge just because Romney will likely win by a substantial margin here and that should be enough to carry Mourdock to the senate, but I know Mourdock kicking out Lugar (who was really popular here) will cost him a lot of the independent vote. Plus there's a Libertarian candidate on the ticket, who might take some of Mourdock's votes since he's been trying to move towards the center after running as a Tea Party extremist during the primaries (Donnelly nailed him pretty hard on this during the debate).

I've stopped pretending that he has a chance there. He barely won there last time around and has been behind most of the year.

Perfect, then every word would have to be a link to one of his claims about Obama losing even when he was well ahead of Romney.
Everyone.
I'm not saying Obama's debate performance was stellar but it certainly wasn't significantly different from his previous debates. Obama did try to discredit Romney's lies early on, but it rapidly became clear that Romney was simply going to double down on every lie. Anytime Obama did call Romney out for something he said earlier that contradicted what he was saying in the debate, Romney just kept denying he ever said anything else. And since Lehrer clearly wasn't going to be of much help in at least moving things along, it was just a recipe for going in circles. I think Obama realized that early on and decided it wasn't going to be any more productive than what he did.
I'm also reminded of a segment on MSNBC right after the first R-O debate where, after all the regulars had been lambasting O's performance for a half hour or so, they then tried to take it to Giuliani in an interview segment where he employed exactly the same tactic as Romney. The outcome was basically the same, Giuliani dueled Hayes and Maddow basically into silence, since they realized their interview was just going around in "Did Not! Did Too!" circles. And Hayes even had to resort to tweeting his refute of Giuliani's claims, much the way Obama used the next day's stump speech to refute Romney.

why? Aren't there supposed to be 12 million jobs added no matter what happens?

His pasting at the hands of James Cameron was tops. LOL @ him thinking AHBUHDAR won't do well.
PD - Wrong on Hillary in 2008
PD - Wrong on Jimmy C in 2009
Like Cell Jr. before him, he is Konex Jr.

shocker!
on a side note, i'm gonna repost this:
does anyone ITT live in or near columbus, ohio? i have no idea who the hell to vote for below the federal races and i don't think the dispatch has released any endorsements yet
But this is Scalia we're talking about here.
It sounds like the specifics that he did give on the plan are factually wrong, shocking. That's just what I got from a cursory reading though. So yea people have predicted 12 million jobs over the next four years, none of those take into account Romney's plans.

Yea or nay? Sending postcard with a picture of the opponent with a photoshopped "I (heart) <SOMETHING THE RECIPIENT WON'T LIKE>" button. Even if the opponent really does (heart) what ever it is?
Real Presidente is good enough. Dominican beer.
Eh, that's slimy but legit.
Are you saying the President's beer isn't legitimate?

Sorry, PD. Guess Bubba doesn't seem to have minded Obama throwing his wife under the bus.

That part of what it says in the article, yes. But his addition using the points in his ad is also off.

It might be good when you're stuck in the Dominican, but otherwise it's horrible.
