Bad news for Obama.

 

[RustyNails]

That wasn't even funny. How anyone can think Romney is qualified to be President is beyond me, and it's scary that about half of the country thinks he is. Hopefully this debate will be a wake-up call to at least some of them.

David Gergen needs to be sent to retirement. The guy is first off a Bain shill.

As I said in the official thread, Romney sounded and looked a lot like Obama in the first debate. Very reserved, almost disoriented, and didn't defend himself from some pretty direct attacks. And when he wasn't being passive, he was agreeing with Obama. I gotta say I was 100% wrong on this debate: I assumed Romney would come out with the bluster and "strength" conservatives champion. Instead he tried to sound...like Obama, and it failed.

Eric Erickson is pretending like the debate was a wash, but I can't imagine Romney's camp being happy about what happened. More interestingly I want to see what the neoconservatives have to say about his performance and answers tonight; they can't be happy about Romney giving a deadline for Afghanistan, for instance. And like Obama when he claimed Romney's Social Security support was the same as his in the first debate, Romney basically agreed with Obama's Iran sanctions. Amazing...

Obama dominated the entire debate. I thought Romney did great at the very end when he got to list off the various bad economic data to Obama, but that was it.

And Romney took the Libya timeline off the table. The gaffe from the last debate really affected his decision making, there.

And it allowed Obama to focus on how many lives he saved without putting a troop on the ground.

If only the 1st debate was a foreign policy debate!

How many Repubs in this one? +10?

 

[bananas]

Can I break out the bottle yet? I should wait for the sixth, but they're just so yummy.

 

[Plinko]

All Fox keeps saying is Obama was too aggressive and rude to the respectful, kind Romney.

lmao

FOX ignores how Romney treats the moderator.

 

[Trakdown]

Not bad, The New Yorker.

There ya go, Obama campaign. Free ad, just get a VO on it.

 

[Zabka]

CNN said more Republicans watch the debate.

So by applying logic to their poll it's a statistical draw. IT'S A HORSE RACE PEOPLE!!

But did Wolf call it a tie?

Not bad, The New Yorker.

This needs to be an ad.

Most eye catching cross tab to me- even white voters think Obama won the debate by a 49/45 margin:

Serious business for white people yo!

 

[TacticalFox88]

Is Wolf Blitzer trying to spin this?

They just said it had more.

White people like their zingers.

We have less horses now

Bad news for Bin Laden.

 

[codhand]

I think it's telling Drudge's headline's got nothin'.

 

[jbug617]

Gergen said Obama was the favorite to win the Presidency before tonight. Also shout out to Fareed to bringing out the undecided voters poll showing a more wider margin.

 

[Zabka]

We're not here to criticize each other or talk about who has more dancing horses.

Wolf Blitzer tried to spin Sarah Palin's Katie Couric interview, nothing is below him

 

[maximum360]

This needs to be an ad.

That's a masterful troll. Bravo The New Yorker.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Chris Wallace is saying that it was Romney's decision to take a more passive, non-confrontational tone in this debate; he's insinuating the campaign wanted him to be more combative and really challenge Obama.

You could tell Romney realized his plan backfired, primarily because the same Obama from debate #2 showed up tonight.

 

[PistolGrip]

Oh snap after all polls out Media now comfortably saying Obama won it. They do caveat it though that it is not by much.

translation Obama won big time.

 

[Trakdown]

That's a masterful troll. Bravo The New Yorker.

Troll nothing, it's straight up truth.

Without Fareed Zakaria, CNN would be spinning down the toilet drain.

 

[Averon]

Did the pundits changed their minds on who won after the snap polls came out?

 

[HylianTom]

So.. do we see any new states coming back into play with this? Or have we just seen the further solidification of Obama's states?

I'm thinking the latter. Which is fine by me.

Exactly. This was a god dam blowout.

Also if people wanted to know about CNN undecideds, it seems most of them are ready to make a decision on who to vote for.

 

[Black Republican]

is there a video of the cnn undecideds?

Actually Romney was betting on Obama 2 to show up. He simply didn't think it through. And the great plan of Romney appearing calm and "presidential" was not Romney's, it was Dan Senor's (Romney's senior FP adviser). They kinda succeeded and failed. They succeeded because pinheads like David Gergen can say Romney passed the commander in chief test. Failed because..well, he got owned pretty hard much like Obama 1.

i think it's a national 0.5-1.0 point bump, and solidifies iowa and ohio.

colorado and nh may go into lean obama. va may be in serious play (when it looked like it was falling over to romney).

i think florida is still lost, as is nc.

depends on viewership though. 50m+ would be a good number. there were roughly 30m who viewed the third debate in 2008.

 

[jbug617]

is there a video of the cnn undecideds?

they didn't show them yet. They just a had a little peek in.

 

[HylianTom]

What the fuck?

bravo performance by obama this evening. looking at the early snap polls i'm reasonably sure my algorithm will respond positively to the numbers. this may seal the deal for obama.

 

[bananas]

Obama dominated the debate. Romney seemed rather reserved and spent a lot of time agreeing with Obama. He has spent months basically talking loud, and I was surprised he didn't continue that bluster tonight given the conservative view that foreign policy is all about being a dick to friends and enemies.

This makes me question if Romney even wants to be president anymore. He just seemed tired and not really into it.

From the OT debate thread.

So good, had to quote it here.

You have an algorithm now too...?

 

[markatisu]

What the fuck?

If you have ever seen Chuck Todd lately you would understand why they are doing this

I fully expect him to do 20min again tomorrow on how this will be a repeat of the 2000 election and go deep into the night

 

[Bowdz]

What the fuck?

You will support Mitt Romney. You will support him.

well, i have the original one. search my posts and you'll see what i'm talking about.

You don't? All the cool kids have one.

Larry King's stream was amazing tonight.

 

[cousins]

puddles, you rich now my dude

 

[electricpirate]

What the fuck?

for any other presidential candidate this would just be a funny mistake.

For Mitt Romney it's stone cold truth.

That's reverse trolling! It's even worse than regular trolling.

Rob Portman has become an overrated debate sparring partner, guess they shouldnt have fired the other guy

Matthew Stafford is pulling a Mitt Romney Foreign Policy Debate Perfomance for my fantasy team, tonight.

ppp:

We went into the field in NV as soon as the debate ended for a poll that will be released Wednesday and voters there say Obama won big too
