I threw the one they sent my wife into the trash
My wife rented 2016. We're about to watch that tonight. I'm expecting to either laugh out loud, or break the DVD in half out of pure anger.

was he the one gloating after the first debate?
i want to see the low-mid 70s number of voters who had already broken for obama to hold like where it was last time. that's such a fucking high number.
u=dead
what if he made a sound like a velociraptor in the middle of the debate
It's going to come down. It has to...otherwise Obama would win the state by 30 pts. Just gotta keep banking those votes.
I just watched the entire second debate today to get up to speed.
Obama looked MUCH better, but I honestly thought Romney had a good performance as well. He was able to address MANY reservations most people have about him, and didn't have any major gaffes. For the first time he seemed "genuine" when talking about the middle class, and succeeded in making his positions seem much less extreme. I actually think it was pretty close to a tie. My ratings so far:
1) Romney victory
1vp) Biden demolishes Ryan in the most lopsided major political debate in the past decade.
2) Slight edge to Obama, but virtual tie

You didn't think Romney botched it on Libya and talking about letting a woman off early to go cook dinner?
edit:
And binders?
please proceed, leroidys.

Did he say he wanted to...Tagg Obama? Never mind, I will just assume he did.
And it's nice to see the Romney family so respectful of the President, Mitt raised them right.
Wow,what a fool.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Is this the same one who said Obama was an "obstinate child?"
The binders thing is a meme I've been seeing all over facebook, just like big bird. I didn't think it was that outrageous though watching it. Maybe it was because I saw all the posts before I actually watched the debate, so I was prepped for it?
He floundered on Libya, sure. There's a difference between looking bad on a topic and a "gaffe" though. A gaffe would be the 47% remark or his consulate attack press conference.
Didn't one of Romney's sons after the last debate basically equate Obama to a diapered baby that his dad had to take care of
Being part of a family that has mandatory Olympics every year that family members, whilst maintaining a Flanders-ish attitude, are nevertheless compelled to take very seriously must fuck with your mind.
You are also not a woman, all day I have been hearing women talking about the binder thing.

I'm guessing because Obama was being "aggressive" which makes no sense. It's okay for my dad to be aggressive during the debate but not Obama. How dare he?

Same. Women have been talking about the binder thing and the whole being home in time to make dinner thing all day. Of course this is California though.
Yeah, like I said I've been bombarbed by it on facebook, but that is in my ultra-liberal bubble. It's an awkward remark that completely missed the point, but I'm skeptical that it will have any impact on the wider race.

He should be cast as an evil henchman. He's got the look down.

Haha it would be hilarious if they were sitting right next to him when he said that.

You don't think females will take offense to such a patronizing remark?
Yeah, my female coworker was downright mad today about Romney's answers about women and particularly the binder thing.

Their entitlement is truly stunning. I initially wondered if his kids might be more regular than their dad in part due to growing up in more modern times; I've heard Tagg talk and he seemed somewhat decent, talked about fun hobbies/interests etc. But...wow, guess I was wrong.

Is he one of the Romney boys that needed IVF (which Mitt Romney's endorsed Personhood Amendment would ban) because he is shooting blanks?
Yeah, I went there.

Can't unsee Romulan.
I think the more patronizing remark was him insinuating that women need flex-time so that they can go early to cook and take care of the kids, and that companies prefer men because they don't need flex-time, but that he will create such a booming economy that Companies will even want to hire women

Mitt Romney, advancing the interests of labor since... yesterday.
I think I'll just shelve it. Who knows how much an unsealed copy will be worth 20 years from now. Especially if it leads to the downfall of our socialist, radical, Muslim dictator.
You don't think females will take offense to such a patronizing remark?
I think that Romney lost the females that will be offended by the subtext of his statements a long, long time ago, but what do I know.
Goddamn I'm more liberal than half of you and you guys are forcing me to defend the Romney campaign. It was a bad moment but I don't think it's going to affect the race.

I would consider completely flubbing an insanely easy attack to the point where you are corrected and the audience claps in front of 60 million people a gaffe

Yeah, that's the remark that really set people off -- the binders thing was just a prelude. It's a reminder of the subtle sexism that women have to deal with all the time. I bet Romney didn't even realize that the statement he made was kind of offensive, that's just how many older folks view women in the workforce.
Tough to find male virgins around here.
Ehh borderline. Saying something false isn't properly a gaffe. You guys are really stretching the meaning to encompass any bad moment.
You're it!
