2012 Election Thread

best Obama - showing how Romney changed from the primaries to the general
best Romney - things suck now, why should we keep this guy?

Isn't it sad that neither candidate's best moment is when they are talking about themselves? It's been this way a while, still blows though.

It's been this way for a long, long time, unfortunately

Hot chick in red dress standing behind Hannity and Ed Gillespe on Fox right now.

This is what election coverage should be!!

For transparency while watching the debate I was on another screen trying to design how to create software to ensure Dodd-Frank compliance.   What a crap bill.  2074 pages, 500 new regulations and they have only written the rules for 15 of them so far.  What's worse is it has no more teeth than the 47 page Glass-Segal act.

Let's just say it does slant my view as I live in this crap all day, every day.

CNN Snap Poll Results

Who won the debate?
Obama: 46%
Romney: 39%

Some pretty bad news for Obama, though, when you dig into the number (not included in the link (yet), but just shown on CNN):

Who would be better handling the economy?
Romney: 58%
Obama: 40%

Who would be better handling healthcare?
Romney: 49%
Obama: 46%

Who would be better handling taxes?
Romney: 51%
Obama: 44%

Who would be better handling deficit?
Romney: 59%
Obama: 36%

One thing is clear: the third debate which is all about foreign policy is gonna suuuuuuuck.

ETA: FWIW, my most important poll, Intrade, has Obama up about 4% for the day (3% or so since the start of the debate).

being a politician means that you know how to leer at boobs and not get caught

I get it. My life is complicated by regulations
Congress is real good about complicated regulations.
I think we both know that both of our industries need to be regulated - we have seen the consequences of under - regulated WS (and medicine)

True. Plus he's probably had years of practice. I mean, you wouldn't want to get caught gawking and lose out on the ketchup money. People love ketchup.

The best thing about this election is clearly the ascendance of Matt Romney:

You can also follow him on the facebooks.

Can someone please get MSNBC a time clock? Chris Matthews again pushing that Romney crowded out Obama's speaking time. CNN has Obama +3:15.

And now for my sadistic ritual of flipping back between Fox and MSNBC. Then I punch myself in the balls and call it a night.

I do the same thing.  I have found that over the last year MSNBC has become more biased than Fox, which I didn't think was possible.  Really? Al Sharpton is your post debate commentator, he's the biggest Obama fan-boy in the country.  Let me turn to Fox and see if they have Rush or O'Reilly on for their side to balance it out.

Don't tell that to V00D00BR3W :wink:

Hey, I heard that!

I know you know I regard an important distinction between the MSNBC model/approach and the Fox News model/approach. That doesn't mean I think MSNBC is completely immune to criticism for what it does (I'm no partisan), but they are different beasts.
