2012 Presidential Debate Master Thread

FR_bro on how bland Romney is:

"I bet even his magic underwear does nothing but balloon animals. And everything's a 5-point dog."

Same foreign policies of bombing people... torturing people ....the military industrial complex will continue to run ...it doesnt matter who is president..they r just the frontmen. rebloodlican or democrip your getting  the same basic policies but the  rhetoric is twisted so the average american that doesnt pay much attention and the process just continues. we need real change people.. i mean is this country willing to go to war for these people? riots will happen in the streets if we try to start another war..

Risk is such a great game, but it takes too damn long to play

A long winter afternoon, some hot cocoa, and warm fire make it quite enjoyable.

So, now that it's quite clear Romney got about a 5 point bump from the debates, are there people out there that still think B.O. won the debates? 

Probably, because about 35% of the country is "liberal" and every single one of them is a delusional irrational Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

1.  The polling impact is one way to measure who won the debates.  There are other metrics.

2.  If Obama wins re-election will that make you a delusional irrational Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)?

Pretty sure anyone who classifies 35% of the population as delusional irrational retards has done quite a bit to prove that description about himself.

Looks like we found two guys that certainly fit the "irrational" bill.  KK point #1 also leans towards delusional.

so debate results are determined by the majority of voters and there are no other ways they can be evaluated?

Is the primary purpose of a presidential debate swaying voters? Seems like it probably is.

Is the only point of elections to win them?

that's not at all clear.  the polling consensus is more consistent with a 4-5 point bump following the first debate that has since been ameliorated down to a lasting 2.5-3.5 point bump, either due to subsequent debates, or simply as potential voters have forgotten about the first debate over time.

that's pretty consistent with the media talking points on the debates - a crushing victory for romney in the first debate and narrow victories for obama in the second two.
