re: #5 erik_t

Romney came of praising Obama on a bunch of things, mostly got his ass kicked on foreign policy issues, and talked too much about domestic/economy stuff during a foreign policy debate.

Obama had some good zingers though.

It wasn't so much a boxing match as a dance recital. Both wanted to avoid overextending themselves and getting their clock cleaned by a zinger, but the blows that actually landed weren't hard enough to do real damage.

It's gonna go to the judges, but I get the feeling that it's not really gonna matter, because most folks turned to The Antique's Roadshow instead.

This sorta reminds of the time Mitt was running against Kennedy for senate and Ted made the comment if they went any longer, Mitt would endorse him (or something to that effect)...they should make a commercial with Mitt agreeing with Obama in the debate, and then Ted saying that line.

The first debate still seems to be the one that really mattered to the uncommitted, the big swing in the polls afterwards were surprising. I really, really, really wish Obama had brought his "A" game to that one because that was his best chance to pull the undecided into his camp. :(

It was a beautiful way of saying 2 things. 1, PBO was saying, hey, I'm the Commander-in-Chief, I've been running this thing for 4 years, and you don't know shit, and 2, having fewer vessels doesn't mean shit Rmoney because one of today's vessels can do the job of 10 or more of the vessels way back when.

Of course, I'm waiting for KT to blather on about how "that's not serious talk! it's just like Big-Bird!"

The biggest take-aways for me tonight were:

I know I post this quote more often than I should be allowed to get away with, but I can't help it.:

I look at these people and can’t quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention?

To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?”

To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

They're trying so hard to polish this turd. I notice they seem to be focusing almost entirely on the short stints of the debate when Schieffer allowed Willard to pivot the debate to domestic issues, while either refusing to acknowledge how he couldn't differentiate himself from Obama on foreign policy or grudgingly saying that he sounded out of his depth.

No disrespect intended to the 2002 Olympians but if the federal government can help fund the Olympics then it can certainly help make health insurance, education, etc more affordable for more Americans. Too bad Mitt won't acknowledge that.

And the post-debate spin begins:

Problem Solved: Romney Aide Says World Court Would Arrest Ahmadinejad

For a candidate who frequently accuses President Obama of kowtowing to the international community, Mitt Romney’s aides sure have an optimistic view of the global justice system. A top Romney adviser suggested that the International Criminal Court could arrest Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, cutting off the regime’s leadership in one fell swoop.

During Monday’s presidential debate in Boca Raton, Fla., Romney brought up the notion of indicting Ahmadinejad for his inflammatory statements against Israel. The Iranian dictator famously was quoted in a speech saying that Israel “must be wiped off the map,” though the translation was later revealed to be somewhat inaccurate.

“I’d make sure that Ahmadinejad is indicted under the Genocide Convention. His words amount to genocide incitation,” Romney said.

According to Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom, successfully indicting Ahmadinejad would be more than just a symbolic victory.

“I think it would remove probably one of the most anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, pro-genocide members of that regime in Tehran,” he told TPM after the debate. As to whether he would actually be arrested: “I’m hoping that he would be indicted and that action would unfold following that indictment. Absolutely.”

From a CNN email I just received:

There was no clear winner of tonight’s presidential debate, according to a CNN/ORC International Poll of people who watched.

Debate viewers split 48% for President Obama and 40% for GOP challenger Mitt Romney in the poll, with a sampling error of plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

A majority, 59%, of those who watched the Boca Raton, Florida, debate thought Obama performed stronger than expected, while 15% thought he was weaker than expected and 23% thought he performed on par with their expectations.

Romney outperformed the expectations of 44% of debate watchers, while 26% thought he performed weaker than expected and 26% said he performed on par with expectations.

Firstly, Ahmadinejad is immune from prosecution by the World Court as a serving "Head of State."

Secondly, they are saying they want him tried for inciting/advocating a genocide which has not yet occurred (the destruction of Israel).

I thought the Republicans hated both the World Courts and hate/thought crime prosecutions? Guess I was wrong huh?

How the hell does he say that Iran is landlocked? As I said, I gave this guy too much credit. Never liked him but thought him smart enough.

Did he say it was landlocked, or did he say Syria was their path to the sea? It makes a difference. The first is bizarre. The second makes slightly more sense, although I think it's irrelevant. The sea, I mean. Back in February, when Iran wanted to put a couple of warships in the Med, they went through the Suez Canal.

Does CNN/ORC ever publish cross tabs on these debate polls? This latest batch doesn't even have a sample size or anything. No age, race, gender, political affiliation or religious breakdown. Do they keep the population size low for a better margin of error by only estimating CNN viewers? It can't be based on total debate viewers because I'm pretty sure that data doesn't come out until after they publish.

I'm just wondering why the hell they post them since all it accomplishes is to diminish their reputation and show contempt for their viewers.

Please tell me he has at least heard of the USS Comfort and the USS Mercy.

Modern Marvels! A total source of national pride for me. The description of those ships on Wiki leaves me in awe.

Do they have ERs? I may need treatment someday.

In the all important zinger metric I score this debate in President Obama's favor.

Doesn't help that Romney seems programmed to walk right into them.

USNS COMFORT

I don't think this ship was sailing back when the Navy needed 313 ships.

CNNs real time poll, lowest point in the debate was when Romney said he'd repeal Obamacare and cut programs. Totally tanked with the audience.

de Tocqueville also wrote on the French Revolution --alas, but not available on audio.

why doesn't romney pony up and donate one of his yachts as a battleship to the navy? they probably displace roughly the same amount of water.

I had an old boss, who was a great boss, but really a nerd. He used to call his teenage son "dude" when they talked on the phone.

I used to think it was kinda cute that he tried to relate to his kid.

I don't think Mitt is cute. He lame-ass and just comes off looking nerdier when he tries to be cool.

And I liked how the Foley Artist added this audio clip during the awkward silence..

Go tigers! From the motor city -- which Obama did not let go bankrupt.

Ya know, all these people who aren't going to get the "entitlements they didn't earn" HAVE THE RIGHT TO OWN A GUN.

If they are hungry, or their kid is sick . . . .

John Q anyone?

The vast majority of people are not lazy, trying to get something for nothing. I refuse to believe that --I've nothing but anecdotal evidence.
