Romney closed the gap up to only two percentage points after the debate. One in five feel more negative about Obama, and a full third feel more positive about Romney. http://news.yahoo.com/romney-gains-ground-obama-strong-debate-072907939--business.html IP: Logged |

The second debate will decide the Presidency. Obama will win the third debate which is purely on Foreign Policy but a win there will not translate into votes.IP: Logged |

IQ What are you basing your opinion about the 3rd debate? Astrology? Also, have you come to an Astrological opinion of which man will win( Don't tell me if it is O'Bomber )IP: Logged |

O'Bomber is not going to win the 3rd debate on foreign policy.The Middle East is on fire. Intelligence agents within the Executive Branch are saying O'Bomber's administration lied to the American people..over and over and over about the Libyan attack which killed our Ambassador and 3 other Embassy personnel. There's an internal State Dept email showing additional security was requested by the Embassy and refused and records show US security forces were actually reduced/withdrawn before the attacks. Add to that the fact the Ambassador's diary was found in which he expressed great concern for his personal safety in Libya and if Romney can't hammer O'Bomber into the debate stage like a tent peg using just that information in the debate...then Romney doesn't deserve to be President. The Middle East on fire, attacks on US Embassies, an Ambassador and Embassy personnel killed, al-Qaeda flags flying from US Embassy flag poles, al-Qaeda and affiliates resurgent, Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt making common cause with the nutcase in Iran are not symptoms of O'Bomber's polices. They're the end result of O'Bomber's weak-kneed apologist policies towards the most radical elements in the Middle East and the results were predictable.

well you're right about one thing. romney doesn't deserve to be president. his record as a governor and job creator alone would seal that if he weren't a complete pathological liar.not everyone still subscribes to the macho image you still believe indicates manliness. i don't think the debates will decide the election at all. i don't think they ever have. as to foreign events, bush was reelected after we were attacked on our own soil and thousands died. whatever our government did or didn't do in libya, an area of unrest is not under our control, but new york was and is.

Right on, Jwhop! Romney is going to obliterate him. He went easy on Obama the first time. Although...Obama looked very shocked that Romney would pull out the $90 billion card. The gloves will be off on this one. All Romney has to do is call Obama on his foreign policy record. It will be a slaughter. IP: Logged |

Not about Astrology, but on his general ignorance about global politics. He goofed up in UK and has no experience in dealing with terror. Obama can memorize by rote a slick Navy Seals Op in eliminating Osama, he will speak of Wazirstan etc, and such geostrategic nuances are not Romney's strong point, he will only use rhetoric against Iran. Obama knows about most world leaders and their national politics but Romney would be comfortable only with UK and possibly German politics. And if he were to say that Russia is an enemy/threat, and win the elections, then Putin would wipe the floor with President Romney in each and every international forum for the next 4 years. Privileged Carpetbaggers cannot deal with seething ex-KGB. Obama's glib tongue and commoner image has kept the Bear in check at least psychologically. Russia has not harmed US interests in these four years, and any Romney rhetoric against a Nuclear power with a real Macho KGB man as head, that is just begging for trouble. IP: Logged |

Yeah, the usual suspect meme is that Romney only won the debate because he lied. Part of the old leftist playbook...Bush lied, people died. Anytime one of their icons bites the dust there had to be some underhanded reason for the defeat. In 2000, Bush stole the election. In 2004, Bush stole the election. It's just totally unacceptable that the leftist candidate isn't up to the job, is a zero, lost fair and square, that the other candidate is better, more intelligent, more knowledgeable in areas which matter, better prepared and their candidate has a record which can't be defended. Nope, Romney lied! As for Romney's record as Governor. By the time Romney left the Governor's office, unemployment in Massachusetts was at a low level which would be considered almost full employment. Further he reduced unemployment in the state. But, the usual suspects need something to take their minds off their Marxist Messiah's meltdown in the debate and as psychosis go, this one is a rather mild delusion. "As for Romney's boast that unemployment in Massachusetts dropped under his watch, that's true. The unemployment rate went from 5.6 percent in January 2003 to 4.6 in January 2007."

"On average, unemployment rates were slightly worse in the rest of the nation than in Massachusetts for the first three years of Romney’s term.[59][62] By his final year in office, the state was struggling to keep pace with the rate of falling unemployment nationwide.[59] Massachusetts’ national ranking leapt from the 29th highest in unemployment when Romney took office to the 18th by the end of his term.[59]Unemployment in Massachusetts rose during Romney’s first year from a rate of 5.6 percent in January 2003, when he took office, to a peak of 6.0 percent in mid 2003.[66] It then steadily declined over the remainder of his term, ending at 4.6 percent in January 2007,[66] his last month as governor, for a net improvement in unemployment of 1.0 percent.[59] Much of the improvement in unemployment during Romney’s first three years in office reflected the loss of working-age adults from the labor force,[62][67] many of them having left Massachusetts for other states during the period.[68][62] Massachusetts experienced one of the highest levels of net out-migration of any state during Romney's term" - wikipedia well hey, maybe he WILL be good for the US! by reducing the population as people flee in search of survival!

Hahaha, yes Randall, he did lead his state to numero uno in education.Let it be noted that O'Bomber would kill for an unemployment rate of 4.6% but isn't it odd that a usual suspect is quibbling about an unemployment number under Romney that's close to "full employment". Lots of people think full employment is 0% unemployed but that's not true. IP: Logged |

Actually, the education reform was in place when he came into office. Sorry guys."In the years before I took office our state’s leaders had come together to pass bipartisan measures that were making a difference. In reading and in math, our students were already among the best in the nation – and during my term, they took over the top spot." - Mitt Romney, speaking before the NAACP on July 11, 2012 IP: Logged |

Yep, among the best in the nation..which means..not the best in the nation until Romney arrived and then they went over the top and became...the best in the nation.Thanks for posting that acoustic and proving Randall's point. IP: Logged |

It didn't prove Randall's point. “His impact was inconsequential,” said Glen Koocher, executive director of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees. http://articles.boston.com/2012-07-02/politics/32495224_1_mitt-romney-standards-massachusetts-public-schools IP: Logged |
