The *** OFFICIAL *** Presidential Debate Thread!

[MDC 7,480]

The first debate is by far my favorite part of election season - after months of reading about the two candidates you finally get to see them on stage together and to some extent addressing each other in conversation. I don't think it has much effect on the outcome and it doesn't mean much policy-wise but it's always fun. Really looking forward to opening a bottle of wine and watching this one with my wife.

 

[IGotWorms 4,058]

I'm curious to see if either side will get really pinned down on policy and have to actually explain their plan with any degree of detail. My guess is probably not, but I hope I'm wrong on that.

I'm one of those Northeast elites who looks down on hillbilly slobs like you.

[Drizzay 723]

Does Romney dare say "birth certificate", and does Obama dare say "Magic Underpants"?

Don't you live in upstate NY?

[MDC 7,480]

Don't you live in upstate NY?

 

No, I live in Philadelphia.

[Cruzer 1,995]

I've been getting killed in my picks this year. Let's change it up, give me Romney plus the 2.5, and I'll bite on the under.

[DankNuggs 305]

No, I live in Philadelphia.

potato, potatoe.

[donhaas 18]

The GOP has set the bar so low for Romney that if he can chuckle awkwardly for an hour and a half, mention "America" a few times, and not completely bash and denigrate almost 50 percent of the United States.... I think FOXNews and the FFToday Republican Housewives Club will declare a major victory

 

 

I predict no real stances on anything from Romney...per usual... maybe some vague mutterings on RomneyCare, err. ObamaCare

I predict he will continue to give us no real reasons why we should turn the plane back over to the dipsh!t pilots who left it spiraling downward at rapid speed four years ago...

[MDC 7,480]

potato, potatoe.

 

Upstate NY is like Philly?

 

You really are a dumbass.

[Mungwater 597]

To call it a debate is stupid, they're all scripted, they're playing Americans for fools.

 

We are all screwed no matter what

[BunnysBastatrds 2,450]

I read somewhere that they expect fifty million people will be watching tonight. Can't find the link. If that is true, I think this first debate will be a game changer for either if they do well.

 

If you get a chance, listen to one of the debates on the radio and don't watch it on TV. You get a much better perspective of the debates listening to their words without all the other distractions.

Philly is downstate NY...

[MDC 7,480]

Philly is downstate NY...

 

Wow, again your stupidity knows on bounds.

I think there must have been a feeding frenzy as to who was going to get to that line first.

I heard they were expecting a huge audience as well. It might mean that a lot of undecideds want to see this Romney guy. Or not.

 

Anyway, I'm going to miss some or maybe all of it for a meeting. No worries, I'm sure I'll get an accurate account of it here.

Your Hero has been in office for 4 years and still hasn't presented a detailed plan to turn his putrid economy around.

Yes, I would like to see a more detailed jobs plan from Obama. Thank you for pointing that out.

 

I'd also like to see a more detailed tax plan from Romney, and more details about what he would "replace" Obamacare with, and more details about what he would do about Iran.

 

That's why in my post I acknowledged that both sides have been woefully thin on the details.

He came out with it today... Bucket of 17k of capped deductions, pick what you'd like...

 

Obama has yet to offer anything but fictional stories.

But Romney is keeping those deductions a well kept secret.

[MDC 7,480]

I look forward to Mitt explaining why a guy who thinks of half of America as entitled, irresponsible victims should be President. I perdict he walks that statement back or otherwise says he mispoke or it was taken out of context, thereby solidifying voters' impressions of Mitt as a flip flopping d1ck with no core.

Interesting. I look forward to hearing more about this plan tonight.

If he comes out and says that there are too many people using and abusing the entitlement system he should be alright.

Because Obama is the guy charged with putting out the fire, and the only thing he decided to bring is a promise to deliver a gas tanker to the party?

Lying on both sides followed by observers sticking up for their guy no matter what happens.

THat's funny. ALL week MSNBC has basically said it will take a miracle for Obama to win the debate because he is so busy running the country.

Small anything

Obama only knows how to say 5 trillion???

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Obama: "Jim, please move on to another subject".

 

 

Dayum, Obama had his ass handed to him on the subject of taxes.

[mobb_deep 920]

Here comes Romney marching back to center.

 

Luckily, he had a secret dinner with the rich whites last night, to make sure they knew they were still getting their tax cuts.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

Obama: Bush!

Yeah he did. I haven't seen a b1tchslap since the newbie duckface pic.

Mittens is pacing well ahead early
