Yes, there is just no telling what will happen in a debate, or how it will be perceived by the home audience. Biden’s performance cheered up the base but turned women off.

Remember Bush the Elder checking his watch in his Town Hall debate in 1992? It was widely interpreted as being bored, wanting the debate to end – but he was actually trying to catch the moderator’s eye because Clinton was talking past the time limit on every question.

So what happens if Candi Crowley decides to ignore the Debate Commission rules and the agreement between the candidates and take over the debate? Does Romney rebuke her? Remind her of the rules? Or let her get away with it?

Obama is too spineless to do that, and besides, any active role she takes will be to save his scrawny butt.

What he said. This is a major setup. “80 ‘Undecided’ voters in New York? At a University. Let’s just say I
thoroughly expect multiple ‘gotcha’ style questions aimed at Romney
tonight.”

I’ll say about this debate what I said about VP debate (and the Obama campaign in general): Obama needs to convince Americans that another four years of his Presidency will be fundamentally different (and better) than the last four.

So long as Romney hammers him on “You already had four years to achieve that goal, two of which were with super-majorities of your own party in the House and Senate,” it will be very, very difficult for Obama to make his case.

You can win a debate and lose an election, but you can’t, as an incumbent with a horrific economy, win popular support without having a solid plan for improvement. Solid plans, backed up with math, aren’t exactly Obama’s forte. He’s good at hopes, dreams, and motivational speeches. (As I said after the Gabby Giffords shooting, a great speech won’t change his Presidency nor define it, because his inabilities aren’t in speaking or communicating. His lack of ability is in doing the damn job.)

Nope, it’s the World’s most popular sport. One they don’t need a WAVE to make people cheer.

Crowley has already defined her role as being more than what the commission and the campaigns agreed. Apparently no one even gave Crowley a copy let alone asked/demanded she agreed to abide by it. I assume the same goes for CNN which begs the question what was the point of an agreement in the first place? I smell a rat.

Any truth to the rumor I just started that they’re gonna rename it “LiveJuiced Park”?

Wait, I thought the race was over a few weeks ago. Libs were saying Romney should just concede, and let Dear Leader ascend to the lofty heights for another 4 years.

I didn’t know Perot was still alive. Wonders never cease.

I’ve smelled so much rat over the past four years, my nose has stopped recognizing the odor.

A capital idea for the ladies out there!

Here’s the comment I left over at Evi’s joint:

Thank you, Evi, for not calling the first drink [you list] a Martini.

A Martini involves gin and vermouth and a vegetable [eg: olives or tomolives or lemon twist].

Substitute vodka for the gin and what you have in NO LONGER a Martini, but, rather, the Kangeroo Cocktail [some call it a Vesper, but that is a cocktail with gin and vodka, mixed with, instead of vermouth, Lillet (an aperitif wine)].

Here endeth the lesson.

Soccer is siphoning our vital national body fluids and must be stopped!

The media has completely beclowned themselves this year. It was bad enough they failed to vet Obama last time, but this cycle they have been working OT to cover for him. Did you realize the New York Times has yet to put a Libya story on Page 1 since the attack?

The joke is on them, because the Obama base (besides the hard leftists) of black and young voters and single women under 40 are notorious for being easily discouraged about elections. When it’s apparent there is no more “cool” to be had with Obama, no more jubilant marches singing “We Are The World,” that in fact they are NOT the people they’d been waiting for, their turnout is going to be affected.

That’s what happens when you build a coalition of low-info voters.

To the wall with the lot.
