Hows your facebook looking guys? My four conservatives are dead silent tonight

Everyone's focused on the giants game.

 

[markatisu]

I wonder now if Obama lost the first debate on purpose, the bar was raised so high for him that when he lost that expectation shifted to Romney and he failed twice when Obama just beat his ass

I cannot honestly believe now having watched all 3 debates that Obama was just outplayed.

 

[Red Blaster]

Chuck Todd saying Romney's response to the auto-bailout is a tell that he knows he's losing in Ohio since he only responsed to that and not to China which was the original context of Obama's point.

 

[TacticalFox88]

man, now that all 3 are done...some debate/chess game 101 was at play here

feign weakness in the early moves, offer up some pawns & get your opponent cocky/hungry, then start those aggressive gambits outta nowhere that leave only time to breathe and maybe react defensively, that's some sun tzu shit right there

If Obama would've did what he did tonight in the first debate, this election would've been so fucking done it's ridiculous.

 

[Juice]

Lions season ends tonight, Obama may have won re-election tonight. Dunno how to feel

Yes you do.

 

[Loudninja]

If debates really mattered, we would see a huge Obama bump.

Thing is, they don't matter. It's the media narrative and we'll see if the media is as harsh on Romney as they were on Obama when he was passive. Obviously we won't see the GOP pile on their guy. They're actually good at politics!

Yep.

Can't wait till Soledad O Brien drinks John Snu Snu tears tomorrow

Dude is gonna stroke out from all the yelling. Can't wait.

Nah, he legit played that one off due to any number of factors from disinterest to overconfidence.

Damn chicago screwed you twice

I am not so sure, the GOP is not acting anything like they did in Debate 2. You have key people questioning how badly Romney did

If THEY are not 100% in line with Romney won then there is a significant problem

Absolutely not.

Also, if you're playing a not-an-idiot, you never "feign weakness" in chess. Actual chess ain't some Wu-Tang, metaphorical sword fight in a storm of falling petals, match.

Unless, as I said, you feel your opponent is an idiot.

...Wait, you might be right.

 

[TacticalFox88]

OMG!

 

[Averon]

These last two debates should destroy the "Obama needs a telepropmter" charge, right?

 

[ISOM]

Glenn Beck's tweet was funny and all, but it's followed by 10+ tweets berating Obama for being a bully and praising Romney for taking the high road. You guys are reading into it too much.

First let us have our fun, the potential for a republican shitstorm over romney is a hilarious comedy. Second Obama being a bully is actually good it's better than obama looking weak, he will shure up more independants for sure at the end of the day and that's all that matters. Republicans may even be less enthused about a romney presidency come election day because of the ass obama handed to romney in this debate.

WAT

CNN says Obama won the debate 48% to 40%

But, people would change their vote to Obama by 24% and Romney by 25%

Going swimmingly.

I'm holding my finger down on the app right now.

You know Obama won when Drudge has almost no spin on his page. No polls, no gaffe watches, just a neutral headline.

Is the Obama team allowed to use the word "weird" again?

 

[TacticalFox88]

I highly approve of Romney's decision to be kind and gentle to the retard.

These assholes I swear.....

Anything to call it a tie and keep Wolf Blitzer employed.

 

[HylianTom]

Man oh man.. thinking back to that bayonet issue: the dirigible Romney incident really was a foreshadowing of this debate!

My mom didn't register to vote for that same reason. :/

Hmmm...

 

[RDreamer]

I feel like the right wing has to be secretly pissed. Foreign policy and chest puffing is kind of one of their big prideful things. They just witnessed their candidate concede without a fight on foreign policy to a "weak" democrat.

CNN Focus Group answered some questions.

Romney high point came from Israel response.
Obama high point came from ending Iraq war and nation building in the US.

Romney low point came from tax question regards to getting the 2 trillion for the military.
Obama low point came from calling Romney a liar about apology tour

Silent after about 30-45 minutes. I don't think they understand foreign policy.

Lawl John King thinking that Romney still is gaining momentum in swing states

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Seriously guys, I dont even

Uh, what state cuz I got jury duty even though I hadn't been registered to vote yet..

 

[soul creator]

John King: If things keep moving in their current direction, Romney is our next president

Yeah, I caught that too. He's not.

Nice. Polls should start looking more upswinging for Obama in the next week hopefully

john king still saying stupid shit post debate, news at 11!

 

[teh_pwn]

Wolf on November 7th: Obama received 290 electoral votes, Romney 248. The margin of error is 21.5. Therefore tie.

 

[Kai Dracon]

I am sensing, more than ever thus far, some cracks in the GOP facade. My relatives online are livid right now. And the free republic crew isn't a happy ground either.

I think they know that Obama has this. And I think it's killing them.

This is the bind many far right republican supporters must be finding themselves in right now:

I think it's clear they don't really like Mitt. A lot of republicans at least. But see, it's not really about Mitt. It's about the fact that, for four years, the official narrative has been that Obama isn't just a bad politician but the enemy of America. It has been ordained, in a lot of cases literally by God, that Obama WILL lose. He HAS to lose. Because they've actually swallowed the idea that Obama has been "exposed" for what he really is. Ergo, the only logical outcome is he'll be booted, same as a criminal will be arrested if you provide his name and address to the authorities.

It's why, a few weeks ago and among some people who are ahead of the curve with realizing Obama's "got this", the new narrative was beginning to take root to explain how Obama's going to win: America has been conquered by the communists, a generation of young fools have been brainwashed by college and liberal education, and have become the foot soldiers of the communist progressive conspiracy. This is the only possible explanation for why Obama wouldn't get voted out in a landslide.

We just may be seeing the rest of the hard R's beginning to sweat and realize they need a new narrative, stat.

 

[daedalius]

Well, the main part of that was 50% weren't changing at all.

 

[Black Mamba]

HAHAHAHA

Hannity saying it's not fair Obama takes credit for OBL.

ahahahahaha.
