2012 Debates

I'm not watching the debate (working on a philosophy paper, taking a break now), but Mrs. Maximus is in the bedroom watching it and I heard a helluva lot of yelling(?) a few minutes ago. Was that Romney's "tantrum"?

Might have been. The moderator told Romney it was time to move on; he decided to dig in, tell her that's not the way it works, and go ahead and say what he was wanting to say anyway. His nuance in doing so was everything, however.

ETA - Oh I guess you were referring to the candidates yelling. I thought you were referring to your wife. :o

Well, Obama sure has a lot more fight in him tonight... that is a good sign for Obama supporters.
 
Prediction: Republicans will call for Candy Crowley's head after this debate.

I think she's doing OK.

do you have to refresh, or does it auto refresh?

It auto refreshes... it really is kinda cool... if you watch objectively..... and have a gut feeling one candidate is having a good ore bad moment... you can almost immediately see it reflected in the odds.
 
They haven't brought it up yet, but I love when politicians think they know anything about education, without experience in the field.

Does that mean they know everything about astrophysics, too?

This is maybe the best moderator so far....

Interesting. I was just going to post that the moderator isn't too bright. Her summaries when switching the question back to the other candidate are not always accurate representations of what was said.
 
Romney looks bad every time he tries getting in the last word.... loses style points.
 
And Romney still doesn't give details of his tax or budget plan, it's just 'trust me, it'll work.'
 
Romney is asked to explain how the numbers add up. He utters the same vague catch phrases as has all along and then declares, "There, I've explained how!"

I think she is trying to exert some control, though, and trying to pull stuff out of the debaters though
