Few people use zingers to decide who they will vote for random thoughts Send a noteboard - 26/10/2012 06:11:50 PM
You don't score a debate on points but on who did the most to make people more likely to vote for them and from the half I saw nothing really changed. From the who accomplished more of what they wanted to accomplish point of view I would say Romney won but mostly just because he had more to accomplish.

Between the ships, horses, bayonets, and lines about loving teachers... Larry - 23/10/2012 04:44:32 AM 1211 Views
He loves teachers, but only so long as we are seen and not heard. Burr - 23/10/2012 05:07:15 AM 675 Views
Or have the benefits of the golden parachutes Larry - 23/10/2012 05:32:04 AM 702 Views
Which might those be? Joel - 23/10/2012 07:25:24 AM 677 Views
Also "heaven and earth" and bankrupt Detroit. Burr - 23/10/2012 12:23:21 PM 650 Views
Both those charges are fact checked and verified. Joel - 23/10/2012 03:05:01 PM 675 Views
Romney did a good job, ultimately. Tom - 23/10/2012 05:13:00 AM 635 Views
I think it's safe to say foreign policy doesn't interest either of them all that much Larry - 23/10/2012 05:30:53 AM 615 Views
They really need to get together with the Greens. Joel - 23/10/2012 07:02:18 AM 664 Views
are you familiar with that scene in "life of brian"? moondog - 23/10/2012 05:25:54 PM 604 Views
I am indeed, but I do not see how proportional representation would help much. Joel - 23/10/2012 05:38:27 PM 573 Views
because PR coupled with IRV gives voters a lot more choice than D vs R moondog - 23/10/2012 09:47:27 PM 587 Views
PR mainly seems to give the same choices more OUTCOMES (and meshes poorly with IRV.) Joel - 24/10/2012 12:38:29 PM 639 Views
The instapolls declared Obama victor in #1 too, Romney won this one Isaac - 23/10/2012 06:00:26 AM 815 Views
*blinks* Larry - 23/10/2012 06:08:00 AM 745 Views
With you on the first part, but most people conceded Obama had the edge on foreign policy. Joel - 23/10/2012 06:24:24 AM 653 Views
Which instapoll said Obama won the first debate? Joel - 23/10/2012 06:18:45 AM 571 Views
are you sure you weren't re-watching the first debate? moondog - 23/10/2012 06:08:36 PM 581 Views
No, defintely watching this one Isaac - 24/10/2012 04:02:44 AM 679 Views
romney should be hanging in the wind with the way he campaigned moondog - 24/10/2012 06:28:40 AM 646 Views
So your rebuttal is to call for Romney's death? Nice *NM* Isaac - 24/10/2012 06:57:19 AM 329 Views
yes, way to misconstrue what i said without actually responding to any of it *NM* moondog - 24/10/2012 05:20:07 PM 323 Views
You said it, not me, but way to double down on it, very classy *NM* Isaac - 25/10/2012 03:00:10 AM 281 Views
i see romney has taught you the ways of the douchebag asshole. you used to be better than that... moondog - 25/10/2012 05:42:38 AM 551 Views
In fairness to Isaac, the terminology used typically describes hanging a criminal Larry - 25/10/2012 06:55:43 AM 676 Views
i'm sure if it were not the end of the election cycle he would not have taken it that way moondog - 25/10/2012 05:52:25 PM 635 Views
I must agree with Isaac and Legolas; violent language like that is a (literal) trigger for nutjobs. Joel - 29/10/2012 07:00:53 PM 570 Views
Yes, yes they are. *NM* Stephen - 24/10/2012 05:52:59 PM 285 Views
I have agreed with the post mortems till now; no idea how anyone can score that a Romney win. Joel - 23/10/2012 06:01:22 AM 685 Views
My favorite gaffe of the night: Burr - 23/10/2012 06:07:19 AM 675 Views
Honestly, it was hard to miss: The Persian Gulf is named after Iran. Joel - 23/10/2012 06:28:25 AM 653 Views
I was wondering what Iran would see as weaker TheCrownless - 23/10/2012 12:59:38 PM 589 Views
Hopefully America is wondering the same thing, but that presumes most of us can find Iran on a map. Joel - 23/10/2012 04:01:19 PM 687 Views
..and the folks poking fun at him hope we only look at the cropped map they provide. *NM* HyogaRott - 23/10/2012 07:18:11 PM 287 Views
It was a poorly worded statement, the "sea" being referred to is the Med, but essentially correct. HyogaRott - 23/10/2012 07:16:37 PM 655 Views
What is this, the 19th century? Why is the Med so important? Legolas - 23/10/2012 10:20:11 PM 687 Views
They want holidays in the sun, too Tom - 24/10/2012 05:32:44 AM 630 Views
Commercial, Iran doesn't have a navy worth mentioning. HyogaRott - 24/10/2012 03:41:46 PM 654 Views
Okay, commercial, that narrows it down. How, exactly? Legolas - 24/10/2012 06:02:01 PM 637 Views
Right family (Hussein of Jordan), wrong generation by a few hundered years. HyogaRott - 25/10/2012 06:16:51 PM 704 Views
Hm. Curious who you mean, then. Legolas - 25/10/2012 11:52:06 PM 660 Views
You are too hung up on a "port" HyogaRott - 26/10/2012 03:13:59 PM 569 Views
That's what Romney and you said, isn't it? Access to the Mediterranean. Legolas - 26/10/2012 11:30:55 PM 767 Views
Re: That's what Romney and you said, isn't it? Access to the Mediterranean. HyogaRott - 29/10/2012 02:23:33 PM 673 Views
Well, you get points for stubbornness, that's for sure. Legolas - 29/10/2012 03:26:50 PM 1054 Views
Commercial interests are the only relevant ones, but commerical shipping has the Suez. Joel - 25/10/2012 11:31:23 PM 595 Views
and one he seems to keep making - how many times do you give someone the benefit of the doubt? snoopcester - 23/10/2012 11:46:55 PM 714 Views
it is simply a standard descriptive line. HyogaRott - 24/10/2012 03:54:49 PM 700 Views
What is? snoopcester - 25/10/2012 11:15:28 AM 585 Views
Not really my contradictions, Frankly I think most of the political enteties in the ME are nuts. *NM* HyogaRott - 25/10/2012 06:23:51 PM 276 Views
I'm refering to the contradictions of your argument, not the region snoopcester - 25/10/2012 11:47:29 PM 668 Views
I have no idea what contradictions you are trying to refer to. HyogaRott - 26/10/2012 03:17:11 PM 640 Views
Irans route to the sea is "not being landlocked;" it must go through Iraq to reach Syria. Joel - 24/10/2012 05:45:41 PM 668 Views
It is not ships and military conquest through the Med, it is political and ideological/religious. HyogaRott - 25/10/2012 09:57:18 PM 695 Views
Um, I am pretty sure that stuff travels by internet and radio, not by sea. Joel - 25/10/2012 11:27:17 PM 623 Views
It is sociological, political, and religous, it does not have to make logical sense. *NM* HyogaRott - 29/10/2012 02:26:43 PM 266 Views
If Romney wants to be president, he should make sense, particularly when arguing a cause for war. Joel - 29/10/2012 06:46:06 PM 716 Views
that was my favorite as well. *NM* temeraire - 23/10/2012 08:10:36 PM 292 Views
These debates need a stat boy, PTI style. Dannymac - 23/10/2012 06:43:02 AM 649 Views
I favor tasering them Larry - 23/10/2012 06:46:43 AM 642 Views
Obama trounced him but he was always going to and by this point nobody cares anymore TheCrownless - 23/10/2012 12:58:12 PM 568 Views
The election is a tossup. Could really go either way at this point. *NM* Narg - 23/10/2012 11:06:39 PM 302 Views
inexplicably a tossup. normally the proven liar (romney) would have no chance moondog - 23/10/2012 11:36:16 PM 631 Views
Pointing to one side of a political debate/campaign and yelling LIAR is the definition of hypocrisy. *NM* HyogaRott - 25/10/2012 09:59:08 PM 261 Views
well then prove to us mitt romney is not a liar and i will retract my statements *NM* moondog - 25/10/2012 10:32:18 PM 300 Views
