Goddess Maddow breaking down Romney's speaking pattern as more elliptical and resembling that of Obama in debate #1

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Here it is:

This Shit. Media should pay more attention to these too, not just Libya!

 

[electricpirate]

Andrew Sullivan off suicide watch?

 

[Vicetrailia]

Did Romney say something new about his tax plan?

I recall him saying something like of the qualified deductions, people can pick and choose which ones they want applied or something like that.

 

[markatisu]

I wish Media also paid more attention to Romney's Binders full of Women thing I am reading about at some places

They don't need to, women saw it and they already hated him. I am sure you will see the SuperPAC women's groups use it for an add this week

The binders was the least of his problems when talking about women lol

 

[CHEEZMO™]

That was the right wing talking point this week.

They made up a lie, they repeated the lie until they were sure it was true...

Standard operating procedure.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Here it is:

WOW, debate should've ended right there.

 

[Brannon]

I will personally go through this thread and call out all you chickenshits. Watch your rectum, motherfuckers.

This shall be quite... delightful.

 

[jamesinclair]

Yup, he used the debate to announce his new voucher tax plan.

Also said the wealthy wont get tax cuts and immediately started talking about eliminating capital gains taxes, which is what the wealthy pay taxes on.

Obama fucked up by not calling our Romneys tax rate under that plan

 

[MetatronM]

So the Libya thing.....

Did Obama actually say terrorism the next day? Because if he didnt, it might be an issue.



But if he did.....uh, hasnt the whole fucking GOP talking point been the whole " it took 14 days"? Like, there was an enormous OT thread about it?

If the talking point was wrong....

Did Fox news and friends just torpedo romney by giving him false info that he used?

Yes, he called it an "act of terror" in the Rose Garden the next day. That is true.

 

[RDreamer]

WOW, debate should've ended right there.

As I said, I stood the fuck up right then and actually yelled "Damn!"

He didn't specify. Shocking, I know.

 

[jamesinclair]

So, so awesome.

That dude isn't a Republican though. He's totes independent but just happens to repeat all the Republican talking points verbatim.

Thats the thing, even I thought it was true since it had been repeated so much.





Its almost like Obama set up the the attack balloon so the GOP could blow it up and then he could explode it on their faces.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

They don't need to, women saw it and they already hated him. I am sure you will see the SuperPAC women's groups use it for an add this week

Good, I want to see some damn good attack ads coming out of this debate.

 

[Jackson50]

PhoenixDark just tweeted me that his focus group of undecided voters thinks Obama lost. They disapproved of his abusive response to the question on Hillary.

 

[Trakdown]

Romney adviser Ron Kaufman on tonight: "You don't always hit home runs ... but a long single home run is good too"


What?

I don't even understand what that is supposed to mean.

Apparently home runs are scored by yardage now. News to me.

So, just seeing the recap....Perfect ending by Obama, and goddamn did Romney fuck up bad on that Libya question. "Check the transcript" was fucking beautiful, right up there with roll 212.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

CBC saying clear Obama win and even acknowledged his lead (going into the debate) in the most important swing states. Too bad US stations don't do the same.

They then immediately transitioned into NHL labor talks.

That was the right wing talking point this week.

They made up a lie, they repeated the lie until they were sure it was true....

And took down Romney in the process.

...So Romney actually listens to FOX News.

YOU NEVER DO THAT. Dude has been running for President for 6 freaking years and HE DID THIS.

Wow. What else is there to say?

 

[massoluk]

He didn't specify. Shocking, I know.

To be fair, he did mention he balanced the government subsidized Olympics in response to feasibility of his non-specific tax plan.

 

[giga]

I fucking hate snap polls, but I'll post this to show that it's not just our liberal circle jerk here who knows who won.

 

[Brinbe]

lol Andrew Sullivan on MSNBC, decidedly not freaking out now.

 

[Byakuya769]

Instant Poll does Mitt Romney look like Mr. Fantastic?

Oh shit. Obama - Bitch, I look like Namor.

 

[StopMakingSense]

I wish Media also paid more attention to Romney's Binders full of Women thing I am reading about at some places

Nah, the internet is taking care of that one. Instant meme.

 

[ezekial45]

Andrew Sullivan talking on MSNBC now.

"I'm bloody elated now."

 

[Touchdown]

He called it an act of terror in the rose garden. An act of terror. An act of terror is a terrorist attack. Obama dominated this debate. I'm loving it. "Can you say that again Candy?" LMAO

 

[thefro]

Andrew Sullivan on MSNBC now, off suicide watch.

"Bloody elated".

 

[Y2Kev]

If Obama did this two weeks ago, he'd be up 10 points.

 

[markatisu]

CNN will be like Rasmussen and slowly agree lol

 

[ryutaro's mama]

If Obama did this two weeks ago, he'd be up 10 points.

You can't be clutch if the game is never on the line.

 

[Black Republican]

Charles Krauthammer says on Libya: "I think Romney had a huge opportunity that he missed."

even fox admits it

 

[PhoenixDark]

Obama did great but I want to talk about two areas where he pretty much manhandled GOP talking points, in part due to Romney fucking up

1) before the debate we heard Romney would demand Obama man up on responsibility for Libya. Well, Obama took full responsibility forcefully thus taking that part of the issue off the table

2) Romney pretty much ruined the GOP's entire talking point on Libya by lying about Obama's rose garden statement. Conservatives are pissed on twitter over it. They're complaining about Candy, but they're mainly mad their entire Libya fib went up in smoke


Obama showed balls. Although I will also say I think Romney looked good in many areas

 

[RDreamer]

Sullivan is practically wetting himself with glee.

 

[Chumly]

Sullivan blowing loads for Obama

 

[Link]

To be fair, he did mention he balanced the government subsidized Olympics in response to feasibility of his non-specific tax plan.

Well, he does run businesses.

 

[Manmademan]

He called it an act of terror in the rose garden. An act of terror. An act of terror is a terrorist attack. Obama dominated this debate. I'm loving it. "Can you say that again Candy?" LMAO

"please proceed" was a golden moment. Romney lost the debate by doubling down RIGHT there.

 

[NullPointer]

PoliGAF snap poll results are in:

 

[thefro]

https://twitter.com/MysteryPollster/status/258401186430996480

CBS News/KN/uncommitted voters: who would do better handling economy? 65-34 Romney, down from 71-27 pre debate

Wow, so that sample was probably 60-70% Republican leaning and Obama still won by 7 points.

 

[ArbiterMajor]

I love this site http://www.romneytaxplan.com/

I love Sully

 

[RustyNails]

Y2Kev can you get Andrew Sullivan to join neogaf?

 

[Red Blaster]

Who's moderating debate #3?

 

[Officerrob]

Andrew Sullivan has got to be a member of PoliGAF with his mood swing

 

[ErasureAcer]

Any web streams for additional coverage of the debate? Ahh, I remember the Huff Post has some.

 

[Manmademan]

That was beautiful that Obama took responsibility. Nothing else to point fingers out after that.

 

[TacticalFox88]

Next week is ALL Foreign Policy. Mittens is walking into a complete slaughter. He genuinely pissed Obama off.

It was music to my ears. I was laughing so hard I missed the second half of that.
