Bud Adams Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 This is just so completely wrong. Both of these men are highly qualified in very different ways. Columbia University, Harvard Law, University of Chicago professor, State Senator, US Senator, President of the United States. Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School; started a wildly successful company that only succeeded when other small companies succeeded. Saved the Olympics, Governor of a state. What more do you want? You forgot "community organizer" for Obama... That matters!!! BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Has there been a worse pair of candidates then these two clowns? Yes. Obama and John McCain. How quickly we forget how cowardly the Tim Conway character was four years ago in these debates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fjl2nd Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm way late to this party. My quick thoughts as if anyone cares: I thought Obama won clearly. Romney really blew his Libya answer and got factchecked on stage which was brutal for him. I see whining about the moderator on here (not a surprise). Mitt Romney has a track record of going at with the moderators. heard the same crap in the first debate. The difference was that Crowley wasn't having it. It's surprises me that you guys aren't calling out Romney for being disrespectful the way you did to Paul Ryan. (well, it doesn't REALLY surprise me) He disrespected Obama on numerous occasions by going out of his way to ask his own questions to the President and keep harping on him for an answer. All in all, I thought Romney sounded like a doosh up there and probably didn't appeal to the public. I could be wrong, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keukasmallies Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So if Candy Crowley's interruptions threw Mitt off his game plan imagine his fluster level in an actual crisis....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 i don't think that's really a fair comparison...this was supposed to be a very structured setting, ground rules were supposedly laid out in advance. In real world politics there isn't going to be a moderator timing the interaction. And I don't think it 'flustered him', it prevented him from making his complete point...but again, i didn't watch the debate, I chose to watch the Yankee game.

Doc Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So if Candy Crowley's interruptions threw Mitt off his game plan imagine his fluster level in an actual crisis....? The game is less important than the facts. Barry never said the Libya attack was an act of terror (as evidenced), by claiming for well over a week that it was a protest over a movie. And Crowley admitted she was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary M Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) So if Candy Crowley's interruptions threw Mitt off his game plan imagine his fluster level in an actual crisis....? Mitt was in a no-win situation so he backed down. This one instance does not mean he would respond that way once in office.

Maybe, but the casual observer saw what fjl saw: Mitt got fact-check on stage. I don't expect the casual observer to fact-check the fact-checker, so strategically speaking, their perception is their reality. Except...y'know...Monday is foreign policy day, and Candy won't be on stage to help Obama...so I expect Mitt to clearly show everyone how badly Obama's Sally Fields Reset Open-Mic-Whisper Foreign Policy is performing.

erynthered Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Whoooooooolly !@#$!! A CNN internal memo on why obama got more time to speak. On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly. We're going to do a word count to see whether, as in Denver, Romney actually got more words in even if he talked for a shorter period of time. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/candy-crowley-cnn-defends-debate-379869 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
