BTW :Its 10:00 PM EST here ~1 hour into the debate and I think Romney is doing much better than O in the debate. Really better. it’s standing out.

I think all that debate experience that Romney got this year is finally paying off.

Obama looks like the kid who skipped practice. He needs some work.

I loved the joke about O picking all the losers.

If SOL is praising R, it must have been a history making performance :)

But don’t forget that R may become the favorite for the second debate, which is not necessarily good in the “expectations game.”

Is it possible that Obama was sandbagging intentionally, like a poker player who wants to get caught betting on a weak hand so he can really clean up when he holds strong cards?

Ironically, the only portion of the debate I watched tonight was two minutes of it where Obama had the upper-hand and was slapping Romney around with how Romneycare differed little from Obamacare at the state level. (I didn't bother watching the rest of the debate since I'm not an "undecided voter", I can't stand listening to O's lies for too long, and I'm in the middle of a vampire movie marathon in October for Halloween... tonight I watched "30 Days of Night")

However, I'm looking at all the post-debate analysis, and even Michael Moore and Bill Maher seem to think Obama stepped it in and Romney won, so it couldn't have been a good night for Hussein.

I wonder what Newt Gingrich's fan club thinks now, since they kept pushing the mainstream media's kool-aid throughout the primary that " we HAVE TO nominate Newt because Obama is such an awesome and charismatic speaker that any Republican not named 'Newt Gingrich' will get killed in a debate with him"

The thing is, I missed tonight's debate but I've been watching the teleprompter-in-chief debate for the last 12 years, ever since the Bobby Rush-Barack Obama Dem primary in my congressional district, back in 2000. All his opponents have held their own in a debate with him. He can deliver written speeches very well but "off-the-cuff", Obama is not nearly as impressive. I can't believe some freepers bought into the "Obama is a masterful debater" BS. Either that or they were simply underestimating all the other GOP candidate's speaking ability. All of them were decent debaters except Perry.

That ‘Obama picking the losers...” line, was a great way to frame it. Very effective IMO.
