Looks like Romney knew his candidacy was on the line, and gave it his best against Obama. He saved his candidacy and saved us from the boredom of the inevitable. He has screwed up many times, but gotta give credit when it is due.

Obama needed that. I am sure he is mad as hell today, and that is a good place to be. No more interns tossing softball questions. No more sycophants. No more stupid Romney videos or the Big Dog giving him a lift. He needs to get busy. Romney made it clear it will not be a cakewalk. And it shouldn't be.

He looked his best...so relaxed and enegetic...when shaking hands with Romney's relatives up on stage.

Then again...the debate was finally over.

You're right--Romney kept himself in the game with this one, because if he would have bombed the race would be over. He vastly exceeded expectations, and it gave him a win. Now the question is if he can maintain that, and given his track record for the last six months it should be interesting.

Agreed. Anyone who would vote for that is just being foolish. We obviously have had an empty suit for a president for four years. No wonder things are so screwed up.

That was the first time that America has really seen thier president, rather than the scripted version that the press has presented to us. It is shocking when one actually sees who he is. How in the hell did this guy ever get in the White House in the first place.

Now Obama voters will really have to dig deep and ask themselves if they bring themselves to actually vote for such a moron and put the nation in four more years of jeopardy. Certainly the independents will not want such an inept clown in the White House. Voting for Obama at this point will be akin to an admission of a lack of common sense.

Pretty good job of damage control on this one by the Dems. The story is being changed to Romney won, but he lied. It is everywhere.

Here Gringo.. lets try this..

Obama keeps talking about tax credits businesses get to outsource jobs.

Can you list one? I doubt it, because they dont exist
Read the tax code....

One section of the code allows American based companies to deduct the amounts they have paid in taxes to foreign nations (Foreign Tax Credit). If labor cost here are going up, it's a win-win. You pay the taxes on profits earned in the other country, then you report that to the IRS and receive a credit on your taxes paid here. (heavily used by large IT firms and telecommunications companies)

There are others.

McCain came across as a bitter, angry man in those debates. Romney came across as presidential.

Axelrod already spoke to the press about the debate. He's going to change things up for the next go round.

Obama can't handle being directly challenged on his rhetoric. He looked like an intern being schooled by the CEO and frankly, I think he is bored with being president.
