C-Span has a split screen going tonight. Romney has that plastic smile pasted on. ---

Oh, God. Romney is flip flopping … AGAIN! A few weeks ago, he says one thing - now, he says another. Good job, Obama! Thank you for pointing out inconsistencies with Romney’s policies again. I guess the million dollar question is this: Which Romney is here tonight? Looks like it’s a new Romney with new policies - big surprise! ---

I think the CNN undecided voters are now just trying to make interesting shapes with their lines. There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to their ups and downs, for either Obama or Romney. ---

Obama: Mr. Romney, I know you haven’t been in a position to execute foreign policy… Hah. ---

Yes, they ARE accurate, Mitt. Oh, god, I can’t handle the projection on the part of Mittens. ---

Jeez, Obama is really going on the offense. I agree with him but it does come off as a bit over aggressive. ---
