Romney looks like he wants to unleash a zinger.
Uh… the “Too big to fail” banks were not an Obama phrase, it was coined in 1984 to describe Continental Illinois.
Yeah, I know this is irrelevant but let’s stick to the facts, people. Even the little ones.
The modern-day “debate” format and terms make for a completely cowed moderator. They so fear that one or another candidate will say “that’s it there’s no more debates” or that they will be viewed as media-biased that they can’t enforce the rules.
Who is this Romney they let on stage? It’s not the Romney that’s been talking for the past year, it seems, because nothing he’s said in the past is something he supports now.
Was Lehrer being sarcastic when he said health care is something he knows they have a clear difference of opinion on?
Suddenly he doesn’t want to roll back Dodd-Frank. Suddenly he doesn’t want to cut rates by 20%. He’s just running away from his bad positions, which is I guess is a time-honored Romney tactic, and it’s politically smart right now.
Romney seems to be making a great case that the ACA didn’t go far enough.
They should allow props and video during the debates. Every time Romney says something, Obama can just play a clip of Romney disagreeing with what he just said
It seems that neither one of them has enough time to finish their thoughts. They’re supposed to have six topics over 90 minutes and I think they’re already behind at least one.
When he’s not running over Lehrer, Mitt is projecting very effectively. That’s the whole point of the modern general-election “debate”, to project yourself as someone about whom the voters will say “well, he looks and sounds like he’s up to the job”.
Why does he think shifting things to the state =free money? Taxes is taxes, son.
It’s hard to argue with an Etch A Sketch. I think that’s the core of Romney’s debate strategy.
Romney contradicting earlier Romneyis what Romney does best.
It’s pretty transparent, though.
Finally! “Romney set up Obamacare in Massachusetts”
Romney’s certainly winning the assertiveness test. He might as well be debating that empty chair from the RNC, as Obama seems to be half-asleep on his answers. I’d still vote for an actual empty chair rather than Mr. Romney.
Next debate, we get the orchestra from the Oscars to play whenever one of them runs over time.
Anybody know what is the black spot on Romney’s flag pin?
Even with all the “Uh’s” Obama nailed Romney on his flip-flopping over health care.
Did Romney just say, “Keef of Pfaff”…?
Step right this way, Ole Skunk Stripes. Fill this Dixie Cup. We’ll See who gets fired…
