Must be that magic underwear

Isn't that how Obama won in the first place? He's been full of crap for four years and seems to think that's all he needs. Let's face it, Obama almost always talks a good talk, just not tonight. Those facts screwed him all up.

I always thought if this as a race of Obama vs Nobama. And I was determined to vote Nobama.

After tonight, I decided I'll be voting for Romney, instead of Nobama.

Romeny is a smooth talking hustler, reminds me of a used car salesman. Still not convincing enough for me to vote for him.

And Obama, well, he had his chance, so no go.

the devil is in the details...obama had SOOO many opportunities to slam romney for being a liar, a flip-flopper, and presenting facts that just aren't true..
if the undecided voters are emotional voters.. it is not good news for obama.. but if they are informed voters.. I think obama might be safe... polls will tell.

I would never vote for a republican, because my views are just not in line with most of their positions.. but I do have to say.. romney is a terrible candidate, although he did deliver on an emotional level tonight.. he's just everything you hate about a politician.. flip floppy, fake, cheesy used car salesman... the fact that he won the debate tonight is absolutely frightening.. because it means there's a chance he could win.. and he just comes across as a deceptive snake...imo.. If a republican won, that has views different than mine, I'd AT LEAST like to see someone that is who they say they are and genuine.. I just can't for the life of me feel that way about romney.. he just stinks of fake. I think it's fair for some people to say they don't like obama's policies, and the direction he's taking the country, but I can't imagine saying he's fake. He keeps it pretty real whether you agree or not. Very disappointing night if you're a democrat...the night was obama's and he didn't deliver...

I know you watch the liberal bias news media because they lie to you about the facts..they keep Obama clean,never ask the hard questions.. the real Obama you don't even know.. do some homework on the damage Obama has done..

Well let's start with Romney’s claim that his tax plan will not benefit upper-income earners.

Are you serious? Really? Please, come on.. Kids don't watch Sesame street anymore.. You really didn't know that? Really??

[Ferd]

Grasp at straws much?

I would appreciate a specific example of this, because I have never noted this is anything I have heard Obama say. Ever.
