Enough about the debate. When’s round two?

Danegeld. Not a word you hear every day.

Also, not a word I read today until I got to your post. The first 5 lines of that screed were plenty for me.

"...the incumbent has been there for four years and isn’t running against George W. Bush"

Expectations are WAY too high for Ryan. Biden has been doing this for 40 years....sadly Biden will probably win.....not so much on facts but on style.

Gravity Hits The Obama Campaign [cracks in "inevitable" armor dries up "tribute" from businesses] "............Obama’s bandwagon strategy has demanded that he remain in the lead at every point in the campaign. I’ve been saying for months now that Obama’s fundraising in particular – and even moreso, his ability to deter Romney from raising money from business – was hugely dependent on convincing business interests that Obama’s regulators would still be calling the shots after the election and they should not feel safe about going all-in to be rid of him. This is also why Obama’s team has gone nuclear in its attacks on individual polls that show cracks in his armor, moreso even than usual for political campaigns and much, much moreso than usual for campaigns that are ahead in most of the polls. The same goes for Obama’s ability to draw huge turnout from young voters and other traditionally low-turnout groups.............."

It is like the point in the British abdication crisis of 1936 when the self-important Cosmo Lang — archbishop of Canterbury and thus leader of the established church — said of King Edward VIII’s brother and his wife (about to become King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, for 50 years the Queen Mother): “The Yorks can do it.”

[Obama] was fluent and calm...
[Romney] was...at least as articulate as the president...

What debate did Mr. Black watch? Certainly not the one broadcast last week. The President was an inarticulate and largely incoherent blabbering mess. Romney made cogent and persuasive arguments without any hesitation, hemming or hawing.

I still am trying to figure out what, exactly, Romney will or will no do regarding pre-existing conditions in health care.

I have several friends who have lost long term jobs, cannot get coverage and, quite frankly, it is a matter of life or death to them. They may not like much about Obama, but if you can’t get health coverage then NOTHING else matters, because you will be dead.
