Couldn't agree more. Obama is going to get slammed tonight. If you have watched the first two debates you know that Obama is useless without a teleprompter. Expecting to see the knockout punch tonight leading to a landslide victory for Romney.

People are still calling Planned Parenthood to
get those free mammograms Obama said they
did in the last debate. They don't do them at
all, let alone for free. Thousands have called
so far, on their Obamaphones no doubt.

At my last job, we had $7 mammograms. Of course, if you couldn't afford the $7, we would take care of it for you. I'm sure those will stop once Romney is elected.

I'm not a Dem but I will say in fairness that when my wife to get her first Mammogram she was not required to make a copay. I think that is what is meant by free...misleading but free to the user until HMO's jack the rates to recoup the loss.

Mitt just said that there was no mention of terrorism in the 2000 debates.
Quote: Al Gore - October 17, 2000 Presidential DebateI served on the House Intelligence Committee and I worked hard to learn the subject of nuclear arms control and how we can diffuse these tensions and deal with non-proliferation and deal with the problems of terrorism and these new weapons of mass destruction. Look, we're gonna face some serious new challenges in the next four years.

I'm just sitting here watching the CNN insta poll. it's not close or good for Romney. also, (minute 72) Romney is now looking at Obama like a smitten teenager. I'm sure there's just a light in his eyeline, but the split screen is seriously making it look like he'd like to lean in for a kiss.

CNN isn't left of center. It IS the center.
But even if it was left of center, I'd still trust them to pick 20 undecided voters at random, hand them instant polling devices, and report the raw data in an unedited format.

But he needed to engage in the back and forth. The challenger needs to use the foreign policy debate to prove competency, and Romney didn't come anywhere even remotely close to doing that. Romney probably didn't hurt himself, but he absolutely let Obama help himself much more than was necessary.

Why? When you have the momentum, just look presidential
and don't get baited by Obama into a rerun of the 2nd debate.
Don't tell me you didn't see Omama doing that? People won't
remember a word either one said, all they'll remember is

Let's say you're right. If you think that Romney's squinty smirk was more "presidential" than Obama's expression, then you have a very odd taste in presidents. Did you vote for Dukakis? Mondale? Ford?

Wow, Krauthammer agree's with most of what I said.
Romeny came across as presidential and Obama was
petty and angry. He couldn't get Romney to take the
bait so he could paint him as the war monger the Left
has been claiming he is. Obama was confused and
frustrated by Romney's behavior, just what Romney
wanted.
They say this was all Romney's idea, his team wanted
to go in the other direction. Wow, a president that has
idea's and doesn't need a prompter. Pinch me.
