Presidential Debate Obama VS Romney Round 1

[Havok]

Jon Stewart just eviscerated Obama. Ouch.

Do you have a link?

[Flagg]

Wow, apparently Romney cheated and brought prepared remaks with him.

That's bad for him, right?

If it's 1) True, and 2) Caught by the rest of the media it just further cements him as a cheater willing to do or say anything to get ahead.

Why would you not bring notes, quotes and soundbites to a debate? Not like I was in debate club, but that makes sense to me.

That, and his closing remarks seemed fairly well rehearsed. So what's the problem here?

Dailyshow.com has the whole episode, and the whole episode is pretty much that.

[Lord Falcon]

I was serious, and I wasn't high. If Romney wins, I really will kill myself. I'd rather die than live through Bush all over again.

I read something saying Romney is growing closer in the polls, especially Ohio. Is that true? I couldn't find out whether it was a conservative poll or one that actually reports facts.

It's against the rules.

[Borgholio]

I like how unemployment just dropped below 8%. That invalidates like half of what mittens said during his rants.

[Flagg]

But it's a CONSPIRACY! The iPOTUS rigged it to make him look good! Seasonal employment not a possibility!

[Grandmaster Jogurt]

And it doesn't look like Mittens even got that. The poll numbers at Real Clear Politics look not to have moved a point, Obama's leads in Ohio and Wisconsin —two key battleground states (and one being Paul Ryan's home)— are huge, and the latest Gallup poll puts Obama at a 54% job approval rating —with one month to go to election day.

Has there even been enough time for any effect to be seen? From what I remember, most polls take several days worth of data; stuff being released now would at best have only a small part of that data being collected after the debate.

Then you seriously need to see a counselor because that's obviously not a normal or healthy response. Have you talked about this feeling with any of your friends or family members?

Uh wow yeah, I hope you're still kidding because people take suicidal threats very, very seriously.

Please stop posting in this thread, as it's becoming more and more likely that you're a trolling piece of monkey shit.

You are a fucking idiot.

This is what the GOP and Jack Welch (who doubled down on his tweet) are claiming.

I called it, then.

In particular, here's Jack Welch (whose tweet appears to have kicked off the reactions) on Anderson Cooper's show, with a summarized transcript posted on Daily Kos, and the punchline:

WELCH: I just believe this number should not determine the outcome of the presidential election.

[Flagg]

It's really funny the alternate reality the rightwing inhabits. Fake birth certificates, poll numbers, and fake jobs numbers.

[JME2]

Yeah, this insanity is equal parts amusing and exasperating.
