Tuesday’s second presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, was a bare knuckles brawl. Most pundits say President Barack Obama scored more debating points; American voters, however, do not score these debates by any fixed set of rules. They react to them during and afterward with their individual hearts, minds, and guts; and when the votes are tallied on Election Day, Barack Obama will prove the big loser.

There were no “debating points” to be scored. To plagiarize Rush,”…Obama lied, had no record to stand on, and tried to demonize Romney”. The American sheeple can see that, no matter which side they’re on.

The Obama of Tuesday night was no match for the 2008 Obama that got elected!
If anyone is stupid enough to let Ms Crowley moderate another debate I suggest that both sides in the debate agree in advance to put a box of Oreo cookies on her desk just prior to the debate’s opening.
Ms Crowley will have her mouth too full of Oreos to interrupt either candidate !

Ed, a very thorough and thought provoking analysis.

You are absolutely correct. Media lapdogs influencing the outcome is off-putting and the American people have had quite enough. We also react when we see friends and neighbors out of work, kids we saw grow up with pricey degrees working a string of part time jobs, when our favorite family restaurants go out of business. He has a record now, and it’s awful.

Ed, I hope your are correct. I like dealing with facts and the facts are clear — what Obama has tried has failed. The National Debt has increased beyond reason and he continues to try to convince us that he just needs more time. I believe he is for Socialism and is trying to turn the USA into a Socialist country. He wants Big Government and wants Government to run everything. If he wins a 2nd term and Socialized Medicine gets implemented — trust me — the people who voted for him are going to regret it. Voting for someone because they are a certain race is as much a wrong as not voting for someone because of race. I hope people vote based upon merit — if they do — it will be a Romney landslide victory.

There’s more to LIbya than meets the eye.
This morning on CNN congressman Elliot Shill Engel from NY said republicans politicizing it (yes, they should) and that Ryan’s budget cut security (divert, distract) and Issa brought the document issue forward just in time for the debate (perfect timing).
Another member of congress aiding in the coverup.
