Jeezbuz people didnt you know that the melting polar ice caps affected the density of ocean water and caused a fundemental shift in the global conveyor drastically dimishing the O2 supply and weakening Obama's red blood cells count and making him light headed at a higher than normal altitude.

Thats what Al Goar stated and I for one believe him.

Let's just pray he doesn't have a heart attack doing so. It will be interesting to see how Biden's "old school" approach comes across.

Other than that...VP debates are senseless...but I'll watch for fun.

Romney mistakenly lumped Tesla Motors with Solyndra, Fisker and Ener1 as examples of failed green investments last night. Solyndra and Ener1 did go bankrupt, but Fisker is still alive. After the government refused to guarantee its loan, Fisker raised enough private money to stay afloat for an indefinite period. Tesla announced this week it is on track to repay its $465-million loan guarantee. Really cool car - saw it last weekend. Note to Mitt: It's "Tesla" not "Tester".

At this late stage, fatigue sets in, and any candidate can come down with it at any time. Obama was out on the trail while Mitt was rehearsing.
Who knows? This could completely reverse by the next debate, as Mitt is hitting the trail hard today, doing his best to make hay out of the debate. he could be the one most tired in the second.

...and by the third, they could both be punchy.
Ok if you want to use that as an your reasoning that's go with it.

How many people go to a local campaign rally?
How many were expected to view the debates on TV? --> 40 to 60 Million viewers

Which candidate used their time wisely? In my opinion using the excuse that Obama was tired because he has been campaigning hard is a poor excuse. It is an Obama negative. Obama does not prioritize wisely. He is on a job interview and has to get the most people to vote for him. A president has allot to do and he needs to be able to be able to prioritize.

They showed Obama on TV the night before and he said that they were making him study. That did not leave a good impression either. People should look past the basics and really look at the dynamics.

It's simple math.

Yep...another mistake by Obama. And another "let's blame it on something else" reason, rather than the fact that Obama is the worst president this country has ever elected.

Obama seemed off/sick from the start.

I thought Romney did very well. "Big Bird" was a brilliant strategic manuver. One day we shall learn who gave him that line.

Romney went overseas and made an utter ass of himself. It was embarrassing. OTOH, Obama generally knows how to interact with world leaders and they like him. I say generally because I think giving the Queen an IPod was kind of odd.
He also gave her a songbook signed by Richard Rodgers, but that seems to be missing from everybody's description of the exchange. The queen gave the president the standard framed signed photograph of herself and the Duke of Edinburgh.
