This is Why Romney Won the Debate

Obama CRUSHED Romney with one line zingers and insults. He was like an attack pit-bull, biting on another dog because he just finished eating dog food laden with gunpowder.

Romney was affable and soft, agreeing with Obama on many controversial points, like Syria.

But this debate wasn’t about making the other guy look like a jackass. It was about convincing the morons who are still undecided to vote for them.

In short, Obama was snarky and not very likable, speaking down to Romney in a very disrespectful tone. Romney played it safe and likely convinced MOAR people to vote for him, as a result.

The word has been spoken. Do not bother debating its merits.

    No one watched past 15 minutes.

    Obama seemed like a stronger leader, Romney looked sweaty and uncomfortable.

    The debate doesn’t matter now. Just the GOTV activities in Ohio at this point.

    Ohio decides. No one else matters now.

    The men are watching football tonight and that leaves the women watching. Obama’s stare was spooky, Romney came across as the nice guy, Obama came across as someone trying to prove himself, rambling on about women’s reproductive rights and taking care of our veterans..
    The election: Romney by 7%, 0bama carries five states.

    That’s not the way I saw it. I thought Obama won and came across as more knowledegable than Romney on foreign policy. I didn’t find him snarky at all. There were times where I felt sorry for Romney especially when the audience snickered at the “horses and bayonets” comment made by Obama.
    We might find out tomorrow who won based on how coal and solar stocks fare.

    Obama:how about horseshit and Bayonettes, bitch?

    Would be a victory for O except he follows with
    “We like… Aren’t strong with leadership because things suck at home and I can’t lead worth shit”

    This debate was to convince the undecided. There was no need to win the people already voting for Romney. Obama only has QEs for everything. He has no new plans for the future. Most people want to leave with dignity, earn a living, and NOT receive handouts These people will make the difference and will vote for Romney.

    Electoral votes win over popular votes.

    As long as major urban encleves vote for Obama he has the presidency
    (note the little p in presidency, since the office counts for shit).

    I think Romney gets the popular vote, but loses the electoral college.

    Not that it makes a difference.

      Dave,
      You are spot on. Regardless of one’s politics, Obama has about 5 or 6 different paths to victory when you look at the electoral map, where as Romney needs to pull an inside straight. Both Karl Rove and Haley Barbour have talked about the electoral map and the advantage Obama has with it this election cycle. As Al Gore learned in 2000, the popular vote does not decide the Presidency.

        Sorry, Mary. You should know by now that The Fly is always right. This election will not be close: R 56% O 44% On election night, when you see NH go for Romney, and PA “too close to call”, just think of me saying “I told you so”.

      Obama should offer to fund a GM plant in Afghanistan producing cars with built in prayer mats and compasses pointing towards Mecca. This kind of out of box thinking could save the US auto industry.

    Of course Romney won. Obama is a master liar, but the facts are simply too overwhelming. I would have prefered to see Romney really follow up with the fact that Obama while he claimed he has ‘Israel’s back’ visited Israel only as a prez CANDIDATE, but never as president Obama. He also wasn’t questioned as to the rumor as to whether he told Iran that there would be ‘talks after elections’, or sufficiently questioned as to what secret agenda he has with Russia ‘after elections when he’ll have more flexibility’.

    This president is full of secrets.

    Last night he was very careful with his words, but read between the lines on foreign policy. Romney said Iran was the biggest threat to America’s nat’l security, Obama did not. Has the Obama Admin been too cozy with Radical Islam? We have the weakest looking administration since Jimmy Carter, and the Obama administration still refuses to and NEVER uses the words ‘Islamic Terror’ or ‘Radical Islam’ no matter WHAT. Why wasn’t Libya disscussed at greater length?
