2012 Election Thread

the candidate who endorses coal as the energy of the future is a lost cause.

His constant "I DIDN'T GET MY TURN!!" is really bugging me.

8 year olds dude.

Just a hunch, but I'm having a tough time believing that a twentysomething girl who's concerned about equal pay for women, a woman who blames everything on Bush, and a black dude who voted for Obama in 2008 but isn't as hopeful as he was "in 2012" are undecided voters.

This is just painful to watch.

I am not a Romney supporter, but he sounds more like someone who understands what he is talking about.   But of course, this is his wheelhouse.   Debate, identifying weakness, and attacking.

Obama sounds like someone on his heels and angry.  I have never found him to be a good debater, great speech maker, but not a debater.

Yeah, the 2 of them whining about time sounds like a kid wanting a longer term on the swing.

A dude that refers to capital gains and dividend tax cuts as middle class cuts doesn't understand jack shit.

Both of them now appealing to Candy to make the other bad man stop saying things!!!

It's kind of funny watching Obama bitch about time when you have the CNN counter though.

Overall, Obama has been WAAAY better, and Romney has been much worse. I'm not sure if this is the game changer Obama needed, but it's a start.

They both seem like out of touch assholes to me.

[Hicks]

Obama is still leading the electoral map and needs a "game changer"?

OK then.

OK then.

It's all about the momentum, which, coming into today was clearly in Romney's favor.

And the map you speak of changes depending on which poll you look at. No clear consensus. I can draw up a bunch of very plausible paths to a Romney victory.

Its funny, because I have seen Obama as being horrendous, I mean really bad.  Romney had performed worse than the last debate.  He had some clear openings for the knock out punch and missed.   
Obama needs to get out of this OK and then get back to making speeches and getting air time on that front.  When I hear quotes like "the reason gas prices were so low is because the economy was on the verge of collapse" it is just so nonsensical that I don't know what to make of it.

The next jobs report is most likely the deciding factor.  If favorable and the stock market continues to climb Obama should be fine for the election.  If not it could be the opening Romney needs.

Plausible?   No clear consensus?  That's hardly a commanding lead.
