I just think it is a matter of being difficult to play defense as a sitting president, because you have actual policy and decisions to attack. - volnelk Oct 4, 09:04 6
- Sure, tangible results are always harder to defend...but every counter to Romney should have been a Romney quote from Romney. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:21 1
  - Well, when they're not working. If things were going great then tangible results would be easy to defend. -- nm - Ender Oct 4, 09:24
- I really liked that Obama mentioned a few times (in the little time I watched) that Romney keeps talking about his "plans" but never offers up what - Jim Oct 4, 09:06 3
  - Yep. That was Obama's best line. Something like "Why don't we know? Is it that these plans are so good they can't tell us?" -- nm - volnelk Oct 4, 09:09 1
    - Because they would BLOW YOUR MIND, baby. -- nm - mara Oct 4, 09:12
  - Didn't McCain say that same thing about Obama (and vice-versa)? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:07
I can't see talking about taxes and not even mentioning the 47% as an accident - SG3 Oct 4, 09:03 7
- Romney's last 2 weeks have been bad....the first debate is the biggest debate...there's no person in the political world who wouldn't want to Own - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:19 6
  - but he couldn't have just forgotten about the 47% issue during a tax discussion - SG3 Oct 4, 09:23 4
    - You hope not, but either way, it's a mistake. Debate #1 is the most viewed every cycle. - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:38
    - The official explanation is that they thought it was "Played out", which is a huge error. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:32 1
      - Then why the hell did I see 10 airings of the commercial Tuesday night? - Will Hunting Oct 4, 09:36
    - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 4, 09:25
  - "I believe Obama won the expectations-lowering game for round two." -- twitter. heheh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:22
Obama was even punching himself last night when he was going on about 3 billion worth of tax breaks that should be taken away from the oil industry. - Loyola Oct 4, 09:01 2
- Obstructionism is an art form. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:04
- he can't by himself. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 09:02
I posted one possible dissection of the strategy on B2 -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 08:57 3
- Here's how I see it in debate 2... - Mop on Mac Pro Oct 4, 09:00
- Inigo said "There's no way they'd lose a debate on purpose in a close race". Which is a fair point, but I think it's open to critique. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 09:00
- On a previous board? What are the odds? -- nm - Roger More Oct 4, 08:59
