If Ryan comes out swinging like this, the Veep debate could get ugly.

I actually feel like I would not have got my ass kicked as bad as Obama with 10-15 hours of prep. No joke. This looking at who and looking down or whatever was b.s. But Obama on several occasions got straight stunz style neg-alpha'd.

doubtful. Obama was trying to come out with a tempered image, not a high flying rhetorical style he is known for. I think the Obama camp will feed Biden more ammo.

Ryan is going to come off like a smarmy a-hole. Biden is going to do a poor man's Clinton and rally the white working class. I am pretty certain of this. Mark it down.

This debate just made the race close, as opposed to a possible Obama landslide.

Did it? For reference, was anyone here undecided?

I think the race was already pretty close....

Not that it matters though.

That's the problem. What good does a debate do when everyone has made their minds up based on months of mudslinging? Why do we have the debates this late?

The Federal Reserve won the debate

I'd like to watch it; but likely won't have time - maybe I'll youtube it later.

What the hell do you have to do on a wed. Night in primetime?

I am picking up some thai food right now and then will drink some left over corona lights.

If you must know, my wife is a stay at home mom and uses Wednesday's as her hang out at Barnes & noble alone time/sanity break - or go drinking with friends night... I don't know what the eff she does - all I know is on wednesdays every week I entertain, feed, bathe & bed a 6 & 3 year old. Then I usually get laid when she gets home. Kind of a full night. Luckily though the kids fell asleep in the car on the way home from the park tonight and I caught the last 45 minutes and enjoyed a beer.

I think the better question is why do we start the elections two years in advance, but yeah.

Most convincing reason to vote for Obama from tonight's debate: "if the president is reelected, you'll see dramatic cuts to our military." -- Mitt Romney

Yeah, if I were undecided, I would have ran to the polls for that one.

HeinBallz · « **Reply #67 on:** October 03, 2012, 10:33:58 PM »

It always blows me away that there are people who are undecided.

They should just be called the uninvolved.

Why do we seem to believe the debates are a good barometer anyway? WGAF how well a candidate can respond to something their opponent threw out a few seconds ago, when in any policy making situation they would have time to sit down with their advisors. Maybe twenty-five years ago, the platform of each candidate was not easily available to anyone who cared and the debates were more important for getting the message out, but now it is basically whoever panders more effectively wins.

This has probably been said, so forgive me if I Luke this...

But, there is NO rough ridin' SUCK THING AS CONVINCING UNDECIDED VOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

There is only "MOTIVATING THE BASE."

Merely ask yourselves, who does the best job of scaring the crap out of their supporters, and that is who "won."

Pete · « **Reply #72 on:** October 03, 2012, 11:03:21 PM »

Let's come back and fact check (LOL as if that matters to anyone), and see what was bullshit and what was right.

What I sort of respect about the "right" is that they do not give a eff, as long as they have more money. They will put up with ANYTHING, as long as there is another nickel in the bucket.

In a way, I really respect that consistency of purpose. It's just a shame that so, so many stupid poor people get dragged along unknowingly. Tip 'o the hat.....

KU Basketball is the Republican party. KSU is the Democratic party.

KU does "whatever it takes" to win. KSU tries, haplessly, to do things the "right way."

Do-gooders loose.

It's depressing to think how badly Gary Johnson would have clownsuited both these powertards.

Obama can't debate, and Romney just debates with lies and doubletalk.
