Pat Buchanan said Romney was "tremendously aggressive, but friendly." I thought he was describing you, Peeps!

Ten-word answers can kill you in political campaigns. They're the tip of the sword. Here's my question: What are the next ten words of your answer? Your taxes are too high? So are mine. Give me the next ten words. How are we going to do it? Give me ten after that, I'll drop out of the race right now. Every once in a while... every once in a while, there's a day with an absolute right and an absolute wrong, but those days almost always include body counts. Other than that, there aren't very many unnuanced moments in leading a country that's way too big for ten words. I'm the President of the United States, not the President of the people who agree with me. And by the way, if the left has a problem with that, they should vote for somebody else.

C'mon kids ... I really thought more of you were smarter than this ....

It's too soon to start scoring points right now. The next debate is the first and only time when you start nutkicking, when the absentee voters have just gotten their ballots in the mail, and the election is only 2 weeks away.

People aren't going to remember this debate. At most, they will remember the last two weeks.

Thats why around the 20th of October it will be wall-to-wall political ads.

Remember, people say all the time they are going to throw the bums out, and the same bums get back in ....

2000 Al Gore disagrees with you...

2012 Al Gore does too.

Wow. I figured Obama would "lose". That's just the nature of these things with a downtime incumbent.

But Obama looked unprepared.

I looked at his resume and life experiences and said that before the election in 2008. Thanks for joining me.

Good thread, Speeps. The President of the United States did a fine job. Not that it really even matters. Easy win...

I wasn't able to watch it last night but from what I'm reading on here and Twitter,4 people think Obama won and everyone else in the world thought Romney won. Huh.
