Will you look at that, Obama already has an ad out pounding ole Mitt right in the lie-hole: [Obama Debate Ad.](http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/10/04/1140029/-Obama-ad-hammers-Romney-for-lying-about-his-tax-plan-during-debate?detail=hide) Warning - that link goes to the great orange satan if such things make you woozy. ---

Everyone knows that married people only have sex once a year, so he will be fully present for the rest of the debates and he will mop the floor with Romney. Seriously, _mop the floor_ with him. This AND the Denver altitude .. that oh-so-thin air! That’s what Al Gore is attributing it to, and you know that the guy who invented the internet speaks the Truth. 😃 ---

I think we can rest assured that Mr. Romney and other republican candidates will make well-publicized statements in the next few weeks that will thoroughly endear them to the hearts of women and other minorities (and minority women, twice-fold). :dubious: Just as they’ve been doing over the last few months.😛 –G!

Everyone knows that married people only have sex once a year, so he will be fully present for the rest of the debates and he will mop the floor with Romney. Seriously, _mop the floor_ with him. Wait, what? I thought it was 5 times a year: my birthday, his birthday, anniversary, new year’s and (optional, dependant on behavior) Valentines’ day. Obama’s going to crush Romney like a bug. Just wait. ---

Obama’s performance seems to have been better received by women, and Romney’s performance was better received by men. This is bad for Romney, because he was already losing the women’s vote to Obama, which means that he didn’t really do anything to attract people who weren’t already voting for him.

> [@JackieLikesVariety](#): > > thanks for this thread; I _seriously_ feel better. 😛 The cooling salve of applesauce. Works every time. I’m not even kidding…each post has been a soothing balm for me. And a great big hug for all my republican dopers who have resisted coming in here to put salt in my bowl. ---
