They need to go back to the Lincoln-Douglass style debates.

Obama spoke 4 minutes more than Romney. I think Romney appeared more to be interrupting because the moderator kept trying to shut him up a lot more than she did Obama.
I see your mission to demonize Romney and Ryan is still at full force in this thread and others.
I have a feeling you now realize that there is a reasonable chance Romney can win and that makes you even madder.
It blows my mind you would rather Obama serve as President the next four years than Romney. Very sad. Oh, and you used the word "delusional" in a response to another poster. I think you might want to look in the mirror.

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate Tonight 9 EST!!!!!!!
Bottom line... Obama has had four years to put his policies into place, and there is very little that can be said for those four years... other than a multi-trillion dollar deficit, gas prices out the roof, a health care plan that is freaking small business out, like ourselves, and the list goes on... problems with Libya, Iran, Israel, China....
So, Romney has much more of a record, and a trail than Obama, and at the very least, the worst of two evils.... Romney obviously has more business sense than Obama. After all, Obama has never been a small business owner, to my knowledge anyway, Obama has never done anything significant in his life other than to be a fund raiser, and a speech maker, and by some stroke of luck, got voted in as president.
While I don't agree with some of Romney's policies, he definitely has a better plan to fix the economy than Obama's "continue with business as usual" talk.
As for who won the debate tonight, I would say they were on a fairly even scale, but the fact and truth checking will no doubt lean in Romney's favor.

Listen, when I wake up on November the 7th, it will be just another day. It doesn't make any difference to me whether Romney wins or not. If he does, fine. If he doesn't, fine. I'm not favoring a progressive Republican in the White House, even though it does seem he will win. I don't care one way or another. And it isn't going to make me mad.
One thing I will not do is support the Party after their criminal acts during the primaries and at Convention. If you are all right and want to cover up cheating because it's your candidate that is favored, you have to live with that. If I am mad about anything, that is it.
Comparing Romney to Reagan is laughable - hysterical, in fact.

I think you are forgetting who purports to do the "fact checking". The mainstream media who are almost all liberal left leaning folks who are in the bag for Obama and have an agenda.
The mainstream media will find one or two misstatements by Romney and focus on that while ignoring all of Obama's errors and outright lies.

Romney was not a choice that we would have had in mind for a President. But now, given the two choices we have.... it is the lesser of two evils. Ron Paul was the only real hope our nation had, but they threw him under the bus again, as well as Cain.
So, unless Obama pulls off a publicity stunt somehow between now and the election to make him look like Santa Claus at Christmas, which I don't put past him and his supporters, it looks like Romney might have a chance of winning this election...

Re: 2nd Presidential Debate Tonight 9 EST!!!!!!!
This Mormon thing is going to come out now - Mormons picking sister-wives out of a binder. Okay, this is just a joke. lol
CROWLEY: Governor Romney, pay equality for women?
ROMNEY: Thank you. And [sic] important topic, and one which I learned a great deal about, particularly as I was serving as governor of my state, because I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men.
And I -- and I went to my staff, and I said, "How come all the people for these jobs are -- are all men." They said, "Well, these are the people that have the qualifications." And I said, "Well, gosh, can't we -- can't we find some -- some women that are also qualified?"
ROMNEY: And -- and so we -- we took a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet.
I went to a number of women's groups and said, "Can you help us find folks," and they brought us whole binders full of women.

Not going with the "lesser of two evils". That is why our country is in the condition it is in today, after decades of voting in that manner - no mas.

Where we live, it won't matter, as this is a predominantly republican/Morman state.
I understand your theory behind the lesser of two evils... that voting either way empowers one of them... so I guess you could just not vote at all....
