  1. Me ‘n my Obama-lovin’ Mama will be glued to the TV, so I’ll drop my word-turds the next morning, when hopefully we can all gloat over a much needed Mitt beat-down.

  2. Drinking words:
    Romney: unravelling, apology. bonus: “get tough on China”
    Obama: Osama, “troops home”. bonus: “Afghani”

    To be able to show up for work tomorrow, I suggest only drinking on the words of the candidate you DON’T intend to vote for.

    The real question is not a policy one, it’s whether Barack can provoke Mitt into having a hissy fit by not allowing him to be in control of the rules. I’d also like to see another one of those ‘facts have a liberal bias’ moments like the one Mitt walked into last time.

    But seriously, are there people other than the media who give a hoot about this debate?

    • It’s hard to guess what Mitt is going to do. On the one hand, his entire foreign policy argument for himself is that the President is weak and apologizes for America, whereas he, Mitt Romney, says tougher words and can thump his chest more effectively. Also, Iranian centrifuges! But Mitt can’t say what he might actually do differently from what President Obama already is doing.

      So if he comes out tonight as Moderate Mitt, he won’t have anything to say for himself unless he can come up with some actual policy, which so far he hasn’t been able to do. On the other hand, if he comes out as Mighty Mitt, he could look like somebody who might start an avoidable war — something Americans are not in the mood for at the moment. Also, Mighty Mitt got snake bit in the last debate and might decide more caution is in order.

      The only certainty is that Mitt will emphasize how much he loves Israel.

  3. Ah, on foreign policy, Mitt’s making a sequal:
    “NeoCLOWNS, Part II: ‘THEY’RE BAAAAAACK!!!'”

    Here’s what President Obama needs to say.

    He needs to keep bringing up that Mitt’s foreign policy team consists entirely of the same neoCLOWN bozo’s who brought us the Afghanistan and Iraq fiasco’s.

    And Obama should say, “Well, if you loved George W. Bush’s economic and foreign policies, and you know what I’m talking about, then Governor Romney is the man you should vote for. But if you don’t want another George W. Bush, and a wealthier and even more out of touch one, in office, then I’m the one you should vote for.”

    And at the end, Obama should add, “Oh, and if you DO end up electing Governor Romney, just remember that I’ll still be available in 4 years to fix his economic debacle, and end the Iran War, and any other foreign entanglements he and his advisors get us into. I’ll still have 4 years left. I’d prefer that you reelect me to do what I’ve been doing, which is cleaning up President Bush’s economic and foreign policy messes, but I’ll still be available to clean up President Romney’s. That’s IF we still have a country, that is…”

  4. If I’m a famous person from South Dakota, I might want to be laying low for the rest of this week.

    I just saw that too and thought, yeesh, Mister Death must be hovering….

    “Uh, hi, Senator Daschle? Just checking. Mmkay, thanks, bye.”

  5. The only certainty is that Mitt will emphasize how much he loves Israel.

    Bibi’s gonna get fondled tonight.

  6. Obama should mention this in his debate tonight – “The new numbers bring Obama’s total from military donors to $678,611, and Romney’s to $398,450.”

    What should speak better to people, than hearing the fact that the men and women who are putting their brains, limbs, and lives, on the line for us, contribute their monetary support to Obama almost 2 to 1 over Mitt?

  7. Think I’ll file this under “Oh, lord, really?!

    Washington (CNN) — Mitt Romney is planning to shed the scrappy in-your-face debate strategy from last week’s town hall and replace it Monday night with a calmer demeanor, someone voters can imagine as commander in chief….

    Because, wow, that approach worked so well for the real C-in-C in the first debate!

    Then again, the source for this “strategery” appears to be Dan Senor, World’s Crappiest Liar, so maybe it’s just the Romney camp’s Fiction of the Hour. (Don’t fall for it, O! It’s a trap!)

    Hmm, maybe a better classification for that CNN non-news would be, “What Fresh Hell Is This?”

  8. Well, we’ll find out tonight if Romney got the rope-a-dope treatment. It’s sure shaping up to look like Obama wanted to draw as much attention to the debates so people could get a good look at Romney. Notice how Obama addressed the audience and asked for their vote, but Mitt couldn’t muster the humility to do the same..Mitt thinks he deserves to be President…It’s just like his haughty Christian wife said..It’s our turn now!
