Just once, I wanted to see Romney turn to the crowd, nod his head at Zero and say, ‘Interruptions, distortions, insecurity, pettiness...’ shakes head, ‘Do you want this man negotiating upon your behalf with foreign leaders? Do you really think they should take him seriously? Don’t you want America taken seriously?’
Would have been great to see, but that would have turned off those all important Independents. (sigh)
From the public’s pov, a draw imo – because the public is too stupid to see a liar right in front of their face.
From my pov, Romney won but only because I’m educated enough to see thru Obama’s many lies.
Romney was too much of a gentleman at times, but maybe that was his campaign strategy for this third debate.
Obama threw out soo much dishonest chaff that needed correction that Romney didn’t have time to correct all of it. He corrected some of it and continued to take the high road.
At times, I felt he should have essentially thrown up his arms in frustration and said, “Why do you keep repeating all these snarky lies when time and time again, I’ve corrected you on them?”
In the end, I think a lot boils down to shallow things like facial expressions, appearance/style. Romney clearly had that over Barky Obunga.
My neighbor lady (85 y/o conservative) called me right after and said “Romney looked fatherly.” Hadn’t thought of it that way, but that’s an appeal he probably has for a lot of people. He’s a true father in real life and he exudes that quality.
Obama exudes the characteristics of a petulant punk.
His beady eyes made him appear as if he was always defending a lie.
But the “FATHERLY” comparison sums up an essence about Romney that Obama just doesn’t have.
Bork Obunga is a professional complainer and that’s it...
Since America has become a nation of children, it follows that they may fall for more of a father figure than Obama. That’s why Obunga will lose.
