Do I think Obama won the second presidential debate?
Yes.
Do I think Romney lost the debate?
Yes.
Do I think this debate as one-sided as the first one?
Almost.
If you're going to claim Romney took this one, you better be getting paid by RNC or its overlords. Sure, this wasn't quite as lop-sided as The Debacle in Denver but that just makes this loss more pronounced - it's now obvious that Romney can only compete when Obama phones it in. Truth is, Mittens' October Surprise was to feign being a moderate after a few years of playing 'severe conservative". That bait-and-switch tactic clearly threw Obama for a loop in round one but that just left a now-vulnerable Romney on even-playing field with his better for round two. Clearly, the now-departed Mrs. Ann Dunham recommended that her son knock Mitt out!

Huge victory by Obama, great to see him awake this time. My favorite part was when he stared down Romney and talked about greeting the caskets of the four people Mitt was trying to exploit. Mitt's remark about Obama being in Vegas the next day, as if he were playing craps and partying, was disgraceful, but no surprise.
ReplyDeleteYup he payed the Commander-in-Chief' card expertly.
DeleteThe Gallup poll this morning Oct 18 with Romney ahead by 6 this morning says it all. That's a separation that is outside statistical error. He is no more full of BS or mistakes than the other guy. Time for "change" and hope, here it comes. Get ready. Obama already had one chance and nothing has much improved. You honestly cannot name anything that is really better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a miracle!
DeleteThose polls which were Satanic Democratic propaganda a week have been transformed into gospel Republican truth.
While I believe the Gallup poll in an an outlier, I shall wait and see and not try to 'unskew' it by any means necessary.
34% have already voted. There are very few people that haven't made up their minds. Bain owns one of the companies with voting machines in 19 states. Have you ever seen the documentary "Hacking Democracy"? I can't help but wonder if we are in for an ugly, dirty election again.
ReplyDelete(Amazon has it on instant video and I think you can stream it elsewhere. The film is not partisan. It is only about voting security.)
I still have screen shots of CNN exit polls from 2000 and 2004 before they were adjusted. In 2004, the U.S. almost went to war on the side of Georgia (in Russia) "for democracy" because the exit polls didn't match, so it's not nonsense. A lot of Obama's big backers (like Goldman's) are on Romney's side this year. In 2008 they were on Obama's side.
I'm voting against Goldman's.
I forgot to add, they fixed the exit polling errors in the U.S. by agreeing not to make the raw data public anymore (no more screen shots) and they aren't even taking exit polls in over half the states - just the swing states. This affects local election results too.
ReplyDeleteI know 'Hacking Democracy' is going to depress the hell out of me and I'm only five minutes in!
