You better freakin’ win. I can’t stand the thought of Obozo ‘debating’ Putin on missile defense.
I just got home from the AWESOME Fishersville, Va. Rally!! The state police had to turn people away on the Interstate because they ran out of parking space! Cars were lined up for miles in both directions on Interstate 64 still trying to get in. Trace Atkins performed, then the NRA guys, then Ryan, then Romney! I was astounded at the volume of people that came. I spoke with one man that drove all the way from Hagerstown, Md. Amazing!
Confidence is fine, but you folks in the Romney Campaign had better run like you are 20 points behind ALL THE WAY TO THE ELECTION.
ROMNEY/RYAN HAS WON!By the way,SO HS AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was pleasing to see Romney step up to the challenge and exceed our expectations.
I was worried about that he wouldn’t be able to respond to Obama’s habit of blatant lying.
Great line about not being fooled when his five sons growing up used to repeat lies over and over hoping he won’t notice.
This was an historic debate. Never has there been such a contrast in performances between two candidates. Obama was awkward and unable to defend his disastrous record.
Romney was nearly Romanesque.
Let’s hope he can keep it up.
Stupid headline. What did they believe BEFORE the debate and, if they DIDN'T believe he could win before, why were they on his campaign staff??
Anybody see that white, two-toothed ridgerunner in Ohio on FOX this morning? The guy was a real math wizard. He said he wanted Barry to win because he’d only be in office for four years. If Romney wins, he’d be in for 8 years and “eight years is a long time”. I really couldn’t follow his train of thought but the boy was outstanding with the math. He obviously got through the 3rd grade. The world has gone nuts.
MSM will be prepared next time, and whatever happens at the 2nd debate, they’ll declare their boy the winner, who “has recovered”.
What I haven’t really seen addressed, but which really struck me on a visceral level, was the body language of Romney vs. that of Obama. Romney seemed purposeful, powerful, in control of the situation and the two other participants, whereas O gave the impression that he was weak, unsure, intimidated, confused, and beaten.
The contrast was important because a president is the face of the country, its representative - and truly, the only person on that stage who looked capable of standing up for America and assertively dominating and managing discussions with other world leaders (and with the Congresscritters) was Romney! An ineffectual, metrosexual person with a nebulous knowledge base, no confidence and no strength of conviction is a disastrous person to have at the helm in this current world situation (all his other pecadillos aside).
If I had known nothing at all about either candidate last night, Romney would have won my confidence on the body language difference alone, and that is such a subliminal thing that I suspect it may have won over many viewers in addition to those he won over with his command of the facts and steadfast refusal to be defined by the DNC talking points. He reminded me to some extent of Reagan last night, and that’s something I’ve been hoping to see again for over 20 years (as I imagine many others also have).
