Bumped from last thread:

Glenn Beck has been saying all month that he is praying that in the
debates, the candidates would be revealed for who they really are.

I
think for this one, God said, "Yeah, I did that in the last two and I'm
kind of bored now. How about if I show what the MFM is instead?"

40 So Michelle makes a spectacle of herself again by discarding rules set for "the others". Great role model there.

I shouldn't be surprised, but I admit I am. I would think after 4 years these people would have picked up some social cues on how to behave in public. I can't wait till we have Anne Romney as First Lady and get a touch of class back in the White House.

46 If winning the debate means persuading voters over to your side, then Romney has won. The post-debate polls show people are fleeing Obama for Romney, and they won't be going back.

Posted by: mama winger in paul ryan's district at October 17, 2012 04:22 AM (P6QsQ)

47 All the "fact checking " about whether her Crowley was right or not misses the point. you didn't see her jumping in when Obama claimed to be the king of fossil fuels. Right or wrong , she had no business deciding what was the truth and should have kept to the debate rules. At the very beginning of the Hofstra University presidential debate, announced the rules, �audience has agreed to be polite and attentive � no cheering, no booing, or outbursts of any sort.�
guess who... Michelle Obama� clapped loudly, vigorously, and ostentatiously during the shameful Obama/Crowley tag-team against Romney over what the president said in the Rose Garden about Benghazi.

49 @8

that's totally her attitude!

hell, both of these narcissistic, power-hungry bums!

i seriously can't *believe* how vigourously and obnoxiously she's clapping...like if she just claps with enough fervour, she'll be able to get some of the people around her to start clapping, too! after all, she's the FLOTUS!

i'm pretty sure that went through her mind...and instead, she ended up making a *fool* of herself as everyone else on that stage admirably kept to decorum.

seriously, how childish does she look clapping like that?

51 I think it's a little hard from the tape shown that Michelle was the one who clapped.....I'm sure CNN will release more camera angles to confirm this....*cough*..... but I don't believe the audience would have jumped into the fray like they did unless led there by someone with perceived authority to break the rules. So it rings totally true that Michelle, like her husband, has no regard for the law, and thus applauded. Rules be for the little people.

It is in the bag, as far as acutal votes go (don't know how many dead people the Dems will find, tho); all these polls are oversampling Dems, even the ones where Romney leads. Imagine what his REAL numbers are without the dishonest weighting!

Posted by: Aslan's Girl at October 17, 2012 04:29 AM (KL49F)

58 There was one point when Candy said. "Mr. Governor, I'll be run out of town if I don't jump in here..."

At first I thought she meant because of time constraints, but I now think its because Mitt was about to nail Barack on Benghazi.

I'm almost certain of it, although I haven't done a second viewing yet to be sure. It was definitely at a point where mitt was about to put the dagger in Barack's breat though.

@49

i agree that candidates' and presidents' wives shouldn't be criticised just for being married to a douchey failure...or even for spearheading their usually-admirable causes, if even in a nanny-state fashion.

when they forcefully inject themselves into the arena with clownish, immature behaviour, it's fair game to criticise that behaviour and all the failing of personality that precipitated it.

62 The Debate according to Twitter

http://bit.ly/Ttlf74

The second 2012 presidential debate didn't quite generate the same
amount of social media interaction as the first one -- Twitter reported
10.3 million tweets during the 90-minute program earlier this month --
but it certainly was still making waves with more than 7.2 million
tweets.

Posted by: JParker at October 17, 2012 04:33 AM (8HhF2)

65 From the Twitter link:

"Twitter really blew up during a heated debate when it appeared Romney
and the president were going toe-to-toe and Romney told the president,
"You'll get your chance in a moment."

Perhaps the "Big Bird" takeaway from the
second debate is the "binder full of women" -- when the former governor
talked about his leadership and how he wanted to see more women kept on
file to get jobs where men were the leading or only candidates.

By the end of the debate, a Facebook page
devoted to "Romney's Binder Full of Women" had nearly 58,000 likes and a
Twitter handle "@Bindersofwomen" had almost 1,000 followers."

Posted by: mama winger in paul ryan's district at October 17, 2012 04:34 AM (P6QsQ)

66 There was one point when Obama had six uninterrupted minutes to give his stump speech. I think it was on energy.

Did we ever get a count of the number of time Romney was interrupted divided by his speaking time? I bet he got interrupted more than once per minute.

I know the left is wheeling this out as a "dumb ol' Romeny" meme, but seriously I think it draws attention to his non-murdering and non-tampon-banning. I thought the binder speech was horrible, personally, because I hates me some affirmative action, but apparently he was spiking on the dials during that part. So let 'em snigger.

Can we now agree that in its current form this whole debate mess is deeply flawed, skewed, and worthless? Given the fact that there are professional arbitrators who could easily be hired to run a debate in a fair and even handed manner, can we dispense with using the running dog lackeys from any of the networks? The Presidency and Vice Presidency are way more important than any sport and yet we do not insist on honest officiating for these events.
