    “Willingness to work with the other side” appeals to low information voters.
    Even if you’re lying about it – as Obama has from the beginning.

    Problem is, Romney’s not lying.

    Over the last few elections, agreeing to “work with the other side” has become one of those things required for a candidate to say. Of course, it holds very different meanings for the Left and the Right.
    Much like candidates have to say they love their wives and their children and their dogs.
    It’s essentially meaningless.

    Of course I know that. Again, the problem is Romney means it. I think we all agree one of Karl Rove’s biggest blunders was he never let W defend himself.

    Rove’s influence was enormous on GW, but I don’t know that Bush’s ability to let criticism slide off his back didn’t translate into a sort of apathy towards the conservative base on his part. Whichever one of the two is most responsible, neither seemed to ever understand how conservatives felt the blood-thirsty critics of Bush were simultaneously attacking them and the failure of the president to defend himself more vigorously was perceived also as a failure to protect his most ideologically engaged supporters.
    Note the difference between Bush and Cheney. When Bush left the White House, he really left it behind. After almost daily attacks for months into the Obama administration, Cheney rose up and came out blasting with both barrels. Some would say Bush is honorably abiding by the tradition of a former president not responding to an incumbent and that Cheney is a proxy for Bush in this regard. Personally, I think Cheney is his own man and is acting on his own principles and motives.

    Michael Barone’s first thoughts pretty much echoed mine last night.
    I thought Obama’s biggest vulnerability was his life-long avoidance of debate and a refusal to engage in defending his positions, most notably mentioned by his former colleagues at the University of Chicago law school. The 2008 Clinton/Obama debates were an exception to the rule.
    Obama appeared to be indignant and irritated he was being forced to defend himself last night. The body language, his contempt for Romney by never looking at him and addressing Lehrer and the camera exclusively and his facial expressions were bad optics.

    Obama suffered tonight from his lack of scrutiny from mainstream media. As I like to say, there is nothing free in politics, but there is some question about when you pay the price. In this first debate Obama paid the price for the hands-off treatment he has received from mainstream media. His talking points, advanced by his spokesmen in the confidence that they will not be seriously challenged, were refuted by an energized and articulated and well-informed Mitt Romney. He stood there petulantly and pathetically, nonplussed by the fact that his flimsy talking points were effectively challenged.
    The most important thing about these debates is that they give voters an idea of which candidate can take command for an office one of whose titles is commander-in-chief. Romney, in his interactions with Lehrer and with Obama, established that he is a man who can take command. Obama, through the whole debate, seemed like a man who cannot. Romney took command tonight and Obama looked irritable and weak. Americans don’t usually want irritatble and weak leaders as their commanders-in-chief.
    Which one looked more like a president? Mitt Romney.

    All of the pundits, Democrat and republican spokespersons and the media said Romney won last night. I particularly liked the NY Times comment that “Obama looked constipated.”
    Now that they’ve had time for their post strategy meetings, the spin begins.

    DENVER – Amid the widespread judgment by the news media that Mitt Romney beat President Barack Obama in their first debate, top aides to the incumbent argued that the challenger came off as unlikable and failed to offer the policy specifics Americans want.
    “The governor had a tough debate, he was testy. He wanted to argue with both the moderator and the president. I think if you’re sitting out there, the American public, is that what you want for the next four years?” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina told reporters. (Messina used the word “testy” at least five times in a three-minute scrum within the cavernous media workspace).

    Both aides played down the notion that Obama seemed subdued, even on the defensive, as Romney pressed him again and again on issues like the sour economy.

    Reading most of the post-debate analysis raises my hopes somewhat that this debate might move the needle. I listened to radio on the computer and it seems that this debate is more a re-run of Kennedy/Nixon (with Obama as Nixon, which fills me with sweet, sweet schadenfreud) than it is a replay of Reagan/Carter.

    Seems to me the debates are less about substance, although that certainly plays a part) than they are about optics. Neither candidate is likely to lose any significant numbers of the people who were planning on voting for him. If a candidate does well or poorly, it would mostly be reflected in increased or diminished enthusiasm among his supporters.
    Where the debates are really effective is to the low-information voters. This gives them an opportunity to see which candidate looks “presidential”. That is why Kennedy and Reagan gained fairly good advantage through them and why Nixon, Carter, and McCain (and Algor to some degree) suffered. Romney looked like he belongs in charge and in a huge role; Obama looked like he knew he was outgunned.

    Luckily I tuned in to the debate in time to catch that. Howled at that bulls-eye hit. What a put down–well deserved of course. Some folks think that was the best line of the night. Am supposing lots of folks missed it ’cause it went by so fast. 🙂

    OBAMA: It’s important “that we take some of the money that we’re saving as we wind down two wars to rebuild America.”
    THE FACTS: This oft-repeated claim is based on a fiscal fiction. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were paid for mostly with borrowed money, so stopping them doesn’t create a new pool of available cash that can be used for something else, like rebuilding America. It just slows down the government’s borrowing.

    HEADLINE: Obama appoints wife of Univision owner to UN diplomatic post
    President Barack Obama appointed Cheryl Saban, wife of the owner of Univision, as U.S. representative to the United Nations, according to reports from various news blogs.
    According to the Politico blog, Haim Saban, owner of the television network, backed Hillary Clinton in 2008, but during the summer donated $1 million to groups supporting the campaigns of Democrats.

    Look, Mr. Saban, if I appoint your wife to a plum position will you cover for me so I can get re-elected?

I think he understands that he is gonna get beat, humiliated, and that RMoney is a far superior candidate for prez than he ever hoped to be. The debate, against a real opponent, has proved that he is simply not up to the task and all his covering staff of presstitutes can’t hide this fact any longer.
    He looked in the photo linked in #4 above very much how I looked after my first venture into the sewer.

    Just a brief OT note from my class last night. This being October, we talked about Mary and the Communion of Saints. (October is dedicated to Mary.) As we discussed the virginity of Mary, I explained where some Protestant confusion comes from, especially due to today’s translation of the Bible. I was explaining the “firstborn” was used when describing Jesus because it was a legal term, determining who was to receive the father’s inheritance, more so than it implied a “second born” existed. One of the students asked, “What if there were twins?” I explained that there would still be a “firstborn” — unless the mother had a really wide vagina. The class cracked up, and the point was made.
    Oh, and since I had NO sleep the night before, I was really concerned when all three of my bouncers were absent. The two parents had a daughter who had just come home from the hospital, and the other was at her scheduled Catholic Daughters meeting. Fortunately, a former student came by and offered to help, and a friend of mine that I called at the last minute jumped in to help me out in the class. I warned the kids that I was drastically sleep deprived and still in recovery, and that I could go either way – really loopy or really angry. I asked for their cooperation and patience. This year seems to be a really good class, so we had a lot of fun and candy was sailing through the air. I guess went the loose, loopy route last night.
    The Holy Spirit took care of me last night.

    This Brietbart piece is enjoyable to read as are the comments.

    HEADLINE: MITT HUMILIATES THE MEDIA AND NOW THEY WILL SEEK REVENGE
    “Who is this guy?” tens of millions of American voters asked themselves last night. “This isn’t the Mitt Romney the media’s presented to me over the last six months?”
    Free of the corrupt media’s corrupt filter; free of the spin, the lying fact-checkers, the gotchas, and the desperate effort to cover up any and all bad news that might hurt Obama — by every standard, every measure, every opinion and every opinion poll, what we witnessed last night at the first presidential debate of 2012 was a commanding, dominating blow-out performance by Governor Mitt Romney.

    I think that RMoney is well aware that the next debate with Obama (prolly more accurately described as a trip to the woodshed) will involve much more advocacy by the moderator on behalf of DaWon. The next debate will further diminish the credibility of the LSM in the eyes of the voters if the advocacy takes place. If the moderator does as Lehrer did and mostly keep the debate to the topic at hand and stay out of it, then the outcome will be the same or perhaps even worse for O than last night.

  33. Tedtam Avatar

    One thing I did like about what Lehrer did last night – he kept asking the candidates specifically “What makes your position different from your opponent’s?” That meant that (1) each candidate was being asked the same questions – no softball for TBO vs. hardball for Romney, and (2) it focused the discussion on what made them different from each other, allowing the viewers to see back-to-back what their philosophies were on the topics at hand. I think TBO had a more difficult time with that type of questioning.
    But then, facts and reality are difficult topics for him anyway.

    More possible fraud in the elections process? From the Obama campaign itself?!

    Pasco County Supervisor of Elections Brian Corley is warning voters about potentially misleading early voting information after his office received hundreds of inquiries from voters Tuesday wanting to cast early ballots.Early voting in Florida doesn’t begin until Oct. 27 and lasts through Nov. 3. Corley traced one of the complaints to a robocall from Organizing for America, an arm of the Democratic Party.
    /snip
    This issue arose a day after Corley took a complaint from a voter about an OFA volunteer who initially said he worked for the elections office. The man told the voter there was a problem with her voter registration status, though officials confirmed her registration is fine.

    Campaign volunteers are NOT election officials, and they should not portray themselves as such.
    Smells.

    Another story on the Obama campaign portraying themselves as election officials.

    This morning, I wrote about the Obama campaign spreading misinformation about early voting in Pasco County, Florida. The effort is an obvious attempt to confuse voters and potentially reduce the number of GOP voters turning up at the polls. However, a more serious allegation against the Obama campaign has surfaced. Its staffers were able to speak before high school classes by posing as officials from Pasco County’s election office. This is likely illegal.
    /snip
    Every election year, county election officials conduct voter registration drives in area high schools. Obama campaign staff allegedly posed as election officials at at least three area high schools. At at least one of these schools, the campaign staff gave a highly partisan speech to the students.

    How many laws does this violate in Florida? I’m not holding my breath that anyone will be prosecuted.

    Here’s how the nonpartisan Joint Committee on Taxation described it:
    “Under present law, there are no specific tax credits or disallowances of deductions solely for locating jobs in the United States or overseas.  Deductions generally are allowed for all ordinary and necessary expenses paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the taxable year in carrying on any trade or business, which includes the relocation of business units.”
    Moreover, it is pretty small potatoes given the attention Democrats pay to it. The JCT estimated that ending the deduction for moving operations overseas would raise just $168 million over a decade.
    In the federal government with an annual budget deficit of more than $1 trillion, that’s what you call a rounding error.

    Why I’ll never join AARP, reason #5: Hypocrisy

    President Obama invoked AARP to defend his health care law last night, prompting the influential group to release a statement telling him not to do that again.

    “While we respect the rights of each campaign to make its case to voters, AARP has never consented to the use of its name by any candidate or political campaign,” the group posted in a statement. “AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates nor coordinate with any candidate or political party.”

    Obama can perhaps be forgiven for thinking he could mention AARP given how they coordinated with him to pass Obamacare, which is a golden goose for the organization.

    it was george soros backstage punching the wall because he realized all the money he spent was wasted and the new world order was a stupid idea

    It was the sound of the bottom dropping out of Obama’s campaign.

    That was the unmistakable sound of Obama’s expectations for reelection.

    The noise was reality and facts hitting the Obama staff in the face, which caused them to faint

    I think Moochelle dropped Obamas manhood. We know he didn’t have it

    Couldn’t have been that, would have been a much smaller sound. Sorry for not thinking that first post through.

    It was Obama’s ego hitting the ground.

    What you heard was the sound of an EPIC @SS KICKIN !!!

    Joe Biden hitting the floor when he realized what was going to happen to HIM next week.

    The gates of hell slammed shut…0′s on his own.

    I think that was the sound of a Liberal’s cranium being forcefully expelled from their backside.

    Ron Paul, taken down by the secret service when he tried to bum-rush the stage holding a sign that read “TWO PARTIES = ZERO DIFFERENCE”!

    This is different. The cheerleaders have the exclusive privilege, officially endorsed by the school, of creating/holding that banner as the players take the field. Would you still support them if they chose to display a quote from the Quran?

    Well, the players don’t have to run through the banner if they disagree with it. They can go around it. If there was a Quranic verse on it, the cheerleaders would look pretty silly holding a banner as the players displayed their free speech option not to participate.

    Re: my previous post on exit polling.

    The networks and the Associated Press have an insidious plan to help President Obama on Election Day that is being swept under the rug: they are cutting nineteen states from the list of exit polls they will report. For twenty years, all 50 states have been reported, but somehow this year the networks and AP are ignoring 19 of them. Now just how and why were those 19 states selected?
    /snip
    So just which states are being ignored? Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wyoming.
    The Washington Post tried to gloss over the scheme, noting “how carefully the exit poll planners allocated resources. All 19 of the states with no exit polls are classified as either “solid Obama” or “solid Romney.”
    Really? Of the nineteen states (including Washington, D.C.) exactly 4 are for Obama, with a total of 14 electoral votes. The fifteen Romney states add up to 135.
    /snip
    The real reason the consortium has cut these states is that they know that if they report fifteen states coming in for Romney early, independent voters in other states will take notice and be swayed his way.

    None or all. I prefer NONE.

    I’m not afraid of any gods.

    Perhaps. But, like most atheists, you seem to break out in shakes and a cold sweat anytime you’re actually confronted with God. I think you’re a lot more scared than you’re willing to admit – even to yourself.
    And you should be. The proper fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

    Sarge made a statement the other day that really resonated with me:

    HE is GOD and I am not

    This really summed up Job’s response at the close of the book of Job. It is a great attitude for us all to adopt.

    Here’s the thing, Bobo. Your facebook rant linked above shows just how much of an elitist dillweed you really are. You don’t like football so, of course, anyone who does is worthy of your derision. You don’t believe in God so, of course, anyone who does falls into the same category. You can choose not to believe in whatever you want. You can’t, however, force your twisted, theophobic religion on the rest of us.

    I have nothing against football or the individual freedom to hold religious beliefs. I think it is silly to say that any atheist, or any non-monotheist religious human being for that matter, should be compelled to “fear” something whose very existence they reject due to an entirely rational lack of evidence. Is your own faith so tenuous that you must impose it on everyone else around you to keep believing it yourself?
    To insist that they fear a specific entity of your own definition is an insult to your intelligence.

    You just gotta’ love it! They’re saying that Romney was the one that was smirking! Do they think know that their stupid members didn’t bother to watch it? YUP!

    Dear MoveOn member,
    That was infuriating.
    During last night’s presidential debate, Mitt Romney smirked his way through dozens of mischaracterizations, distortions, and outright lies. The moderator, Jim Lehrer, never cut him off. And now the mainstream media is saying that Mitt won the debate.
    We can’t let Romney “win” the debate on a boatload of lies.
    He lied about his tax plan, his deficit plan, and Medicare. He lied about what “Obamacare” would do. He lied, baldly and convincingly, about Obama’s entire presidency.
    We need to move quickly to set the record straight. Our online team worked overnight preparing a media blitz—including online ads targeted at swing-state voters—correcting the worst lies in an easy-to-share format.

    You can’t make this s crap up. 😀

    Romney is just a hatin’ racist. That’s why he beat up on tbo so badly.
    BTW – I heard that tbo was announcing that Romney wasn’t “the real Romney” last night in the debate, that Romney owes the people of America the truth.

    Watching “Elementary” and Barf Kitty is making a nuisance of herself. She’s about to collect a few more frequent flyer miles.
    I missed the premiere of the show last week. I thought I’d like it, but I find the main character extremely annoying. It’s a cross of “Monk” and “House,” but whereas I found House to be an interesting watch, this guy in Elementary is seriously making me want to change the channel. House was rude, Sherlock is just annoying.
    I get enough annoying elsewhere, I don’t need to invite it into my living room via TV.
