That performance in the debate seemed to poll well.

[Hilander]

His performance in the debate was good but I don't think his performance as president, if he wins, would be as good.  There might not be any rehearsal time before having to speak or make a decision.

How well did he run Bain Capital?
I know it's terrible to think, but a CEO is probably the sort of role that does give you an understanding if what it means to be President, he has shareholders, he has a board, rival companies, stocks to take into account...

[and then]

A 12 point swing in a month without some major scandal as backdrop is almost unbelievable.  I am praying that when people close the curtain and stand in front of the ballot in a few weeks they will think about the last four years seriously.

GAAAAHH!! obama is being so stupid. he should lie and talk bull just like romney then he would win

[MysticStrummer]

It pays to be an agressive liar I guess, as opposed to a passive one. Will US citizens ever wake up and see that they're pawns in a huge game of Divide and Conquer? Sadly, I think not.

Hmm, well we have a fairly well proven theory that if you do poorly in a debate, after a week of rehearsal time, you perform poorly as president so based on that theory couldn't we postulate that if you do well in a debate, after a week of rehearsal time, you may do well as president?

But he did do that when he said his policies were beginning to work and if he had 4 more years he'd have us back on track, yet he did poorly in the debate so guess yoru theory doesn't hold up.

Here is the latest tactic Obama is using;

The polling media have been using the 2008 model before the debates...Obama up 10%.  Obama plays the "rope-a-dope" in the first debate and the polls switch to the 2010 election model and bang, Romney up by 5%

Obama is now the long shot, the dark horse, the new comeback kid.  Watch for more "rope-a-dope" from Obama in the second debate and an all out brawl in the third and last debate.

Up until now, the liberals have believed the election was already locked.   lolol

You guys just don't get it, the elections are not decided by popular vote, they  are decided by 17% of the electorate in 5 swing states. Romney can win 60% of the votes, if he does not win those swing states he has lost.

The problem with corporate leaders and CEO's is they only rationalize from one point of view.  I know there are literally millions of people that think a corporate leader will make a good Pres...I disagree.  Let's be honest here...it is scientifically proven that the vast majority of successful corporate leaders are actually psychopaths.  This is not casting hate...it's just a fact.  This would become apparent and most painful in non hostile situations.  Life and it's problems are rarely ever black and white...it's a gigantic multi-shade of grey.

Everyone seems to think if we fix the economy...everything will be fine.  That is not true.  I have heard people say they are willing to sacrifice their freedoms to turn the economy around...REALLY?!  Are you serious!  Did you ever stop to think that is exactly why they are letting the thing flop and flounder?

Romney is a puppet...and an obvious one.  He does not know how to act or what to say unless his handlers have "prepared him".  What is he going to do in a private meeting with the King of Jordan or another foreign leader/dignitary?  He's not going to always have a script to follow and based on the number of times he has stuffed his foot in his mouth on domestic issues...I'd say he has a pretty crappy record.  Not the type of record I feel we can "turn loose" on the civilized world.

Both of these losers make me nauseous.  We have the perfect example of the "South Park" episode where they were supposed to pick a new school mascot...and they ended up with having to choose between a "turd sandwich" or a "giant douche".  hmm...sound familiar?

I am still voting for the gentleman that I think will do the best for the country, our freedoms, our way of life.  I flat refuse to ever again "vote for the lesser of two evils"...

I sincerely wish and pray more people would snap out of it and realize continuing the "two party paradigm" is going to eventually destroy this country and all of our freedoms.

Weren't you the guy clamoring for the end of the electoral college?

That would end this anti democratic practice that the winner of the popular vote could not be elected, yes.

Why would you think that my comment above is to support it? Or is it that you rather understand what you want to understand?

Has anyone ever noticed that the only people clamoring for an end to the electoral college are liberals?  There is a reason for that. The Electoral college is a necessity because it prevents the major poulation centers, Californioa and NY, from picking the President every 4 years.  The electoral college allows each state to have a say who fills the executive.  Questionmark wants a popular vote decision becasue he wants the liberal states to decide who is president and to hell with flyover country.

You said, gleefully as I took it, that Romeny could win 60% of the vote and still lose if he doesn't win those swing states.  That is a testament to the power of the electoral college and knowing you are a devout liberal I assumed, rightfully it turns out, that you were against the electoral college.

Folks, always remember that liberalism is a form of tyranny.  They try and limit speech through political correctness, they own the media and broadcst their propaganda from it 24/7 and they run the education system in which they indoctrinate your children in the liberal theology.  They want to governevery aspect of your life which is why they are making a play to take over health care.  Doing away with the electoral college would be one more step towards liberal totalitarianism.

Right, now pull your tinfoil hat straight.
