Election 2012: President Obama might think sagging polls are his biggest post-debate problem. But it's really people like Buzz Bissinger, Stacey Dash and Bill Maher showing it's now acceptable in polite society to attack The One.

In an eye-opening piece Monday on the Daily Beast, "Friday Night Lights" author and lifelong Democrat Buzz Bissinger announced he was voting for Romney.

The tipping point, he wrote, "was last week's debate in Denver," which showed Obama out of energy and out of ideas.

That was a cover by LZ. They didn't write that song, they reinterpreted it. It was originally written over 40 years prior to their recording.

"When the Levee Breaks" is a blues song written and first recorded by husband and wife Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie in 1929.

Think simple flyers distributed around campus that explains voting twice is considered voter fraud, and listing the consequence of being convicted, would go a long way to deter most of this activity. If they are college material they certainly don’t want to have a record.

You have a great screen name.

You're too kind.

The day before, Washington Post blogger Chris Cillizza wrote that Obama's debate performance "raised a bigger question: Is he overrated as a candidate?" Before the debate, Cillizza admits, such a question "would have been unimaginable."

I had to make a 45 mile drive through a pretty rural area yesterday. I saw probably 50-75 Romney signs, and NOT ONE Obama sign.

Just made a quick trip to town. 7 R/R bumper stickers...0 for 0.

Just think:

Maher is paying about 1/2 million in taxes on the money he gave Obama.

He could have shut his mouth, voted for Romney & kept his money in his pocket, and spent it on his own personal ‘spending stimulus’ at his local shops.

If Don Rumsfeld were a freeper I would expect him to use your screen name. Is that you, Don?

No, it’s not Don.
