It’s Over
Powerline ^ | OCTOBER 3, 2012 | JOHN HINDERAKER

Posted on 10/03/2012 9:49:23 PM PDT by RobinMasters

I’ve been watching presidential debates for quite a few years, but I have never seen one like this. It wasn’t a TKO, it was a knockout. Mitt Romney was in control from the beginning. He was the alpha male, while Barack Obama was weak, hesitant, stuttering, often apologetic. The visuals were great for Romney and awful for Obama. Obama looked small, tired, defeated after four years of failure, out of ammo. One small point among many: Obama doesn’t even know how to stand at a podium, as he continually lifted up one leg. He would be below average as a high school debater.

There were 1,800 people on Power Line Live tonight, and the verdict was unanimous: it was a great night for the forces of good. Tweets through the evening tracked how the debate went. At one point, as it became obvious that Romney was dominating, my 16 year old daughter tweeted: “So uh is now a good time to mention that I’ve met Mitt Romney?” Iowahawk kept up a steady stream, including gems like: “‘What the hell is this? I was specifically told I’d be debating John Kerry.’–Inside Obama’s head.” And: “Breaking: Choom Gang revokes Obama’s membership.”

“He hammered Obama over th 90 billion to green energy (among many other things).”

It doesn’t do anything for the ‘folks.’ It doesn’t even help the unions or people who want their food stamps. Only the liberal elitists care about such things.

I prayed today before the debates to the God of Israel, to the God of Abraham that Obami would fail, stutter, fumble, make mistakes... and by golly God heard all our prayers... thank you GOD !!

I was thinking of hiring Obama as my latrine cleaner but after that display, I’m going to look for someone more capable.

Without the media filter we see the real Obama. Obama is just a socialist POS failure and the media covers for it.

Without the freeper filter we see the real Romney.Romney was more conservative than many freepers here say he is . He is for state rights, for the private sector etc.

They can’t. Remember?

I said they can start two or three wars at once... I didn't say they can win two or three wars at once.

Wow... I sure hope so!

Check out the interesting body language in #1.

Thanks, RobinMasters, for posting that graphic.

“To me, somewhat surprising, Romney looked Presidential while Obama looked like, who the ef is this boy?”

Slick Willie was right the first time, “this guy” should be carrying his bags! Or maybe handing out towels in the men’s room at a country club!

For what it’s worth, even the French think so.

It’s not over, and anyone who thinks it is is deluding themselves. Romney had to have a good performance. He did even better than most people hoped for. It was a clear win for him. But one good day after a series of bad days doesn’t decide the election. Romney has to build on last night. The question is, how does he doe it?

It looked like it. I could have mistaken Romney for Col. Hogan.

You know what else I noticed? Obama has got some pansy palmolive hands. That man has never done any physical labor except to block blows from Michelle, which I am sure there was some last night. On their anniversary even.

“You ain’t no kinda man, man!”

I was traveling, caught up via Twitter. Dennis Miller was on fire last night: about Obama he said, " Taking on water in all compartments...Bruce Ismay will be dressing like a woman soon."

Twitter threads were convinced early that Zero was pummeled.

Just thought of this: the next debate is foreign police. But Obama is mad, anxious, and will be extremely nasty and aggressive. How will THIS attitude play in a debate about foreign policy? Once again, Romney will turn the tables and look like the reasoned, level-headed "peacemaker" while Zero will look like a warmonger---exactly what they always accuse US of being.

If I'm right on this, the first debate is the fastball setting Obama up for the slow curve.
