Is there anyone here (Romney haters excluded) that isn’t nervous? I have knots in my stomach and keep having to put the baseball game on to forget about it for a few minutes.
Go Mitt!

Yep me too. Back when you could know that no matter what happened the person on the other side was still an American at heart. That the opposition truely wanted what was best for America as misguided as they were.

That is no longer true. Obama is the 1st President who outlook is fundamentally anti American

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I know Romney will win. I’m scared to death, with good reason, the entire media on the planet will report it as an ears win, going away. People will believe it without any facts.

That’s what scares me.

Eh ???

I've been almost physcially sick since yesterday because of the tension. I won't be able to watch but will rely on our dear BRAVE FREEPERS to assist in keeping those of us weaker ones informed.

I feel like we are in court proceedings or something........sigh.

Is there anyone here (Romney haters excluded) that isn’t nervous? I have knots in my stomach

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I was close. Do I win a beer?

[Sarah Barracuda]

I was going to watch the debate on Fox News..so its better to watch it on CSPAN?

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I’m fairly certain Mitt will do well; the problem is who knows what dirty tricks Axelrod) has up his sleeve?

[GeorgiaDawg32]

9 eastern. Any channel you want.

This artificially affected enunciation might make him seem more professorial, however judging from his 2007 speaking style, the hard "S" sounds are totally fake.

I haven't heard the "s" sounds, but the way Obama talks on that 2007 tape is a complete put-up job.

It's fake, not his real voice. It's part "street," part Martin Luther King. The affected, "professorial" voice is closer to his own.

No worries, dearie.

Look at the damage Mittens did to Gingrich.

All he has to do to Hussein is tell the truth.

[Sarah Barracuda]

The media is ALL in the tank, but I think when people watch the debate and see that Romney is not some boogeyman that the media has painted out to be it will help Romney a lot, no matter what BS the media says

[sodpoodle]

You rock;)

Those over enunciated S-sounds are so affected and evil. They drive me crazy - I grab for the mute button ASAP.

Snake hissing is right on!
