I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Romney's all mavericky roguey.

Obama got a Benghazi question - explaining it well. And accusing Romney of anti-commander-in-chief behavior. Well done.

If I were a non partisan viewer tonight, one thing I would ask myself is: what are the policies the challenger offers? It's unfair, because in a way the onus is on Romney to prove more than it is on Obama. But if I will vote for a leader, I want to know WHAT I am voting for. And I'm not getting that answer tonight. I am not getting WHAT Romney represents. He is not showing me another way. He is not selling me the "vote for a new leader." He is only picking on Obama. That doesn't suffice.

That's why I think Romney will lose this election.

Romney's looking ridiculous.

Obama started slow, but good to see he's got fire in his belly now.

I have to admit that, temperamentally, Romney is more relaxed than Obama. But Obama is being successful in putting Romney on the defensive. However, he remains on the defensive.

I see this debate as a litmus test on the Obama administration. Superficially, that looks good for Mitt, but in the long run it hurts him because no one really is learning what Romney stands for. Obama will win because of this. His tenure is being deconstructed, but not subverted.

No one is getting a sense of what Romney will do.

Off to sleep - if I can.

Some of my favorite Bill Maher tweets:

"Halleluhia! Nurses and drywallers won't have to pay tax on their dividends!"

"Mitt has gone a subway stop past confident to Arrogant -"of course my numbers add up, i was in business" -businessmen don't ever lie!"

"Do i love women? Golly, my great grandfather married eight!"

Fox calling it a draw - I guess that means they know Obama won. 

Just read this elsewhere (someone was talking about reading the below exchange on Facebook):

"[Republican, albeit moderate friend]: Hmmm...these questions sure seem to favor Obama.
[Comment from another friend]: So do the facts."

Oh shucks, I had to get my information the old fashioned way....by leaving my computer and going into the living room where three dogs jumped in my lap and two cats. 

Once again today I purposely did not think about tonight's debate and just busied myself until it came on.  I take utmost pleasure in thinking I witnessed  ( just a few and they didn't last too long ) a few moments of panic in Mitty's eyes.  Pres. Obama did not take anything on the chin.....and I thought many times his slower presentation came across as someone who was not trying to shove it in your mouth and down your throat before you had a chance to taste it. 

Now.....going back to my t.v. because I just feel better about everything.
