So who honestly stayed up last night to watch Obamney argue with himself in the mirror?

[KEEF]

I know I went to bed early.

 

[JVParkour]

I shut it off after 20 minutes. For some reason I had a faint hope it would be interesting, and of course I was proven wrong.

i didnt bother.... Establishment Candidate 'A' vs. Establishment Candidate 'B'

i just barely stayed conscious to watch it all... i was playing this...

 

[nasaal]

I did. Things like that are funny to me. Watching one guy be like "No I'm gonna tell a lie," candidate B responds with "No I'm gonna tell a BETTER lie," and the whole thing was exactly like that. The whole time I was wishing Ron Paul was gonne break through one of the constitution screens and drag them both by the ear. Would have been so easy for him to crush either one of them, especially Obama.

Is anyone in the ER getting their stomach pumped? That game sounds like a serious case of alcohol poisoning...

I tried to stay up and dozed off during the first 15 mins. Caught the re-run in the weee hours of the morning.

I watched it...
It started at 3am local time.

I still wonder how I made it to the end without falling asleep, amazing.

I literally heard Mitt Romney say last night during the debate. "You can't have a free market without regulation".

As the masses of mindless idiots applauded him.

He didn't mean it wasn't possible. He meant it wasn't allowed, komrade!

We watched it only because my 17 yo son wanted to watch. My perception was that Romney was spinning like Romney does, and Obama got his clock cleaned.

I turned it off after each of them answered the second question... mainly because neither of them answered the second question and instead went on a stream of consciousness.

 

[Root]

I set my dvr to record the debate and it didn't record. Sounds like my dvr did me a favor.

 

[V3n]

I watched so I could debate with the folks (R's/D's) in the office who watched.

Fox News broke it down into segments on their website so I picked and watched a few after school...I heard Obama trying to set the narrative of unity and hope (with no substance) and Romney pandering to Ron Paul republicans interestingly enough. This should be the real take-away I feel, Romney did a very smart move in attacking Obama while going after a key demographic he lacks.

Yeah, I was speechless when he said that. Neither he nor Obama have any kind of fundamental understanding of economics.

 

[Q11Q]

The audacity of Romney to use the back wall of the stage that had the words of the US Constitution on it as a prop for his meandering severe conservative messaging was absolutely noxious. That man has no right to pretend to be for liberty after what he did to Ron Paul.

 

[angelatc]

Yeah, I'm not fooled. But I think a lot of people will be. Romney was armed with facts and figures, while Obama had nothing.

Even the body language...Romney addressed Obama, while Obama stared at the podium. When Obama spoke, he spoke to the audience, not Romney. He came off more unlikeable than Mitt, which is hard to do.

Romney had the lines of the night. "I have 5 boys. I'm used to people saying the same things over and over hoping they'll become true." and (re: Solyndra) "You don't pick winners and losers. You pick the losers."

Dint work.

Thanks, but Philosophy_of_Politics posted everything I need to know about the debate (quoted). I will not be voting for Obamney.

I thought Romney's smirk was obnoxious. I thought his demeanor was overly aggressive. I think in a strange way, Obama's fumbling in the face of his attacker will endear him to some voters. As for Mitt's "facts," their veracity is questionable.
