Although I'm not watching (can't), I'm starting to feel relieved.

Headline:
CHIEF IN COMMAND

 

[JoeTheJuggler]

Romney seemed to have the same performance approach in this debate as Obama did in the first one.

Except with the added handicap of not having the facts on his side.

 

[elbe]

Only the most blatant toadies and idiots would say that Romney won this debate.

A caller on CSPAN says Romney won all three because he (the caller) is out of work. That's it.

 

[Olowkow]

Did Romney run away afterwards, just like last time... just like Forrest Griffin did when he was KO'd by Anderson Silva?

It looked to me like Ann was pulling him off the stage by his hand after everyone else had left.

If he thinks he's out of work because of Obama, he's an idiot.

I thought the Evil Gobberment didn't create jobs?

 

[MattusMaximus]

I thought the Evil Gobberment didn't create jobs?

Mitt Romney: "Government doesn't create jobs"

Mitt Romney: "When I'm president, I will create 12 million jobs"

Lol wut

 

[NotJesus]

If he thinks he's out of work because of Obama, he's an idiot.

How do you know? Maybe Obama fired him.

Bill Maher ‏@billmaher Mitt keeps taking issue with being criticized tonight - did they tell him this is a debate?\

Bill Maher ‏@billmaher Mitt's entire debate strategy: What he just said, but from a white guy

I have an unrequited love with CSPAN viewer calls; they're just so polite to some of the craziest people.

 

[thaiboxerken]

I thought the Evil Gobberment didn't create jobs?

Mitt Romney: I have a plan to create jobs.

Mitt Romney: Gubmint doesn't create jobs.

Conservatives: YEAH!!! WHAT HE SAID!

 

[Morrigan]

Did Romney say that Syria is Iran's route to the sea?

Er...isn't Iran Iran's route to the sea?

Maybe he meant... the Sea of Galilée. xD

Romney claiming that we have less ships than we did in 1916. Obama replied we also have less horses and bayonets, and it should be about capability, not numbers.

And that this isn't a game of battleship where you count ships.

Hahaha. Zing!

Andrew Sullivan's take:

Maybe he's a.... Cylon.

Only the most blatant toadies and idiots would say that Romney won this debate.

Don't worry, Fox News will find a way to spin this their way. "Fact-checking should be done after the debate is over", anyone?

 

[Denver]

Except with the added handicap of not having the facts on his side.

I'm looking forward to the fact-checking phase for this debate.

Mitt Romney: "Government doesn't create jobs"

Mitt Romney: "When I'm president, I will create 12 million jobs"

Lol wut

So astute! I forgive you for dismissing the voting machine issue.

You sound almost as peevish as the president.

You're giving them way too much credit. It will be more like "we'll bring you the facts, don't check any other source" just like last time with the Libya issue.

 

[elbe]

Apparently the "Apology Tour" thing is a big hit with right.


CSPAN quote: "If god were given a vote he'd vote for Romney all the way"
CSPAN comment: let's give Obama four more years and see how he is then (paraphrasing)

 

[Regnad Kcin]

What's that purple band around the President's wrist?

I don't know if his is for the same cause, but in New York (at least), purple (including wrist bands) is used for domestic violence awareness.
