Folks over at DU are freaking out about the debate and are under the delusion that Romney lied and Obama won ...
I just couldn’t resist a peek ...
For weeks now, the Obama campaign has made a big deal of Romney’s “47 percent” remarks; that brief video has become Exhibit A for the campaign’s depiction of Romney as an out-of-touch rich guy. But in 90 minutes of free-form debating, Obama never once uttered the phrase “47 percent.” He just didn’t bring it up.
**************************************
I think it didn’t come up because that would open the door to Obama’s tapes. Obama doesn’t want to fight THAT fight on on national TV. He can’t— not without pushing out one group or the other.
“I don’t think he had a particularly bad debate,” top Romney adviser Stuart Stevens said of the president. “He’s had a bad four years.”
Ouch!
I guess I shouldn’t second-guess what everyone is calling a big win but I am disappointed that Romney didn’t go after Obama’s character. There is ample evidence now that his character is very low, very dark, very bad... that is a subject worth discussing.
Maybe not in the first debate...
Romney, release the Kraken!! (start your TV ad blitz TODAY)
It’s the narcissism. Obama believes he’s too gifted to fail.
The emperor has no clothes and Romney hung him out to dry.
The world saw it too.
Romney picked Portman because as goes Ohio so goes the nation. Obama is at an instant disadvantage because he really does believe America is a racist country that has caused two centuries of atrocities across the world.
Obama is a victim of his own victimhood mentality.
Even Rick? Madcow over at MSLSD said, He, she?, wasn’t sure who won that debate.
Which is aa close as the loonytoon left gets to admitting Romeny won! ah haha ha.
Gotta watch me some MSLSD tonight.
