Re: Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Final Round
Wow the drone question does get asked, but it's so open ended and Romney just totally agrees with Obama on every point.

The next time Mitt Romney runs for office he should debate with himself and moderate his own debate.

Re: Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Final Round
I'd be shocked if Obama "loses" this debate according to the polls. Mitt can't mount any real argument, or more importantly, any real disagreement against him.

The polls won't shift much. The instant internet polls will tilt heavily Romney. The TV heads will insist it was a draw.Jim Raynor wrote:I'd be shocked if Obama "loses" this debate according to the polls. Mitt can't mount any real argument, or more importantly, any real disagreement against him.

How many damn minutes does Romney get to blab on-and-on-and-on? I thought 2 minutes was the time.

Obama just cast investments in education and technology as competitive moves to stay ahead of China. Smart move.

Closing statements, Romney gets to go last. Obama talks to the future and the past.

Re: Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Final Round
Hm... Romney is finishing with stronger rhetoric than his earlier dreck, but spent most of the 90 minutes agreeing with Obama policies and practices. Only "faster" or some vague sounding bullshit.

CNN's test audience says that Obama ended with a bang, while Romney ended with a whimper.

Re: Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Final Round
Romney fidgeted about where the handshake should occur; Obama pointed to where Romney should go. A small gesture, but...

MSNBC just showed a map of Iran and Syria in regards to the "route to the sea" remark. Fucking solid.

2) Seal room.

Re: Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Final Round
A lot of Iranian commerce actually does go through Iraq and Syria to reach the Mediterranean. Still a dumb thing to say but not entirely lacking in fact. This is one of many reasons why Iran backs Syria so heavily, also a reason why Iraq backs Syria so much, since for them its about 75% of all imports. Port and road-rail development on the north shore of the gulf is shitty.
