Ever since George Will called George H.W. Bush a "lapdog", I have had no respect for him.

If George Will has "seen every presidential debate in American history," he must be at least 160 years old. Even Obama doesn't "misspeak" in such a crazy manner.

George Will really needs to get out more, this was not the best in American history. Obama told more lies and Romney was hamstrung by the moderator.

Wow - better than the Lincoln-Douglas debates? I'm impressed.

George Will has become the non plus ultra beltway boob of Washington. He is about as relevant as Peggy Noonan.

George Will has an opinion. As with his opinion and many other beltway pundits, I don't pay attention. They are useless.

I wonder what color the sky is on George Will's planet because he certainly wasn't on this one if that's what he thinks he saw. George, I beg you to get checked for dementia right away.

What the hell is wrong with this dolt? Completely out of it!

I've always heard that George Will is really Peggy Noonan in drag. Has anyone ever seen the two of them together?

George Will is such a tool.
Who pays his salary anyway?

I and many others, see it differently,
George.

Maybe for the great intellectuals, this was a great debate, but it was a mess in my opinion. Romney got in great points but the "moderator" and the format along with the questions were less than desirable. It might have worked if the questions were not pre-screened and the audience were able to ask questions randomly. The debate was about the moderator and her agenda and her career, plain and simple.

George is a big baseball fan. I suggest he put aside the politics and concentrate on the upcoming World Series. Maybe he will make more sense.

George Will needs to stick to writing about baseball.
Clearly he is out of his depth in talking about politics.

FTA:
The president held his fire on the 47 percent until he had the last word in the debate,” Will said. “That is, he used it in his summation in a way that Mitt Romney could not explain or respond to. So, I think as a tactical measure tonight, the president did very well, indeed.”

What?!?
George, you're well past your 'best by' date, it's time to retire.

(1) There was no "summation" in this debate format - Obama broke the rules on that matter.
(2) The question asked was
"To each of you. What do you believe is the biggest misperception that the American people have about you as a man and a candidate?"

If anything, Obama completely ignored the question and rambled on and on about things EXTERNAL to himself - in spite of the question - and then threw in the '47%' line because he knew Romney had no chance to respond to it.

George, that may be a "tactical" success in your mind, but it's also an act of cowardice.

George Will is an effete snob who has a bad case of Beltway-itis. This debate was interesting but hardly one of the best ever. I think Reagan's debate with Carter where he said, there you go again, was probably the best. I don't remember if it was the same one where Carter said he asked his daughter Amy for advice. That (or those) debate was a real game-changer. This one wasn't.

I missed when O mentioned the 47%. I must have been asleep by then, like most of the audience.

#4 the Lincoln - Douglas was a senatorial debate

As a normally reserved Cheesehead who was pumping his fists as Willard took Barry apart, I suggest George missed a good debate.

Ole George has stayed waay too long in the DC echo chamber. The sad idea is that these folks really believe these beltway mantras and merely recite them to one another and regale in sitting around and telling each other how smart they are.

As I have previously stated in this forum, George Will, Peggy Noonan and others of the 'old guard' are no longer relevant to the new conservative movement under the Tea Party. Folk of their ilk do not understand us. They are limousine republicans of the Rockefeller mold, too used to being invited to the right parties and as panelists on the right shows.

Who reads or watches them, other then lap dog liberals who nod their heads when Will etc. come on. It just confirms the watchers of the MSM of their own convictions.

In a word, over the hill crapola from an undercover shill for the left.

Will is a bat boy for the Dem all stars. No point in my getting banned-for-life for telling you what I really think.

Another thing that Will and Noonan have in common is that they're both insanely boring.

I agree with Will. Instead of fat girl and beta male moderators, why not just hire fight refs to moderate. Let em go after each other but retain the power to call for neutral corners when it looks like somebody has taken a standing 8 count.

George Will, Peggy Noonan, Allahpundit, Hillbuzz calls these guys Tokyo Roses and I agree with him. They aim to depress the Republican base and enthusiasm and I avoid them.

Landslide R&R.

...with coattails.

George Will is no longer relevant and he knows it.

His only hope for relevance is to toss red meat to the Dems in exchange for their adoration.

Poor guy. Alzheimers in full bloom.

Weird comments here. Will is entitled to his opinion, and according to the insta-polls after the debate his view is shared by quite a few.

The 47% remark coming at the end was a little odd, but Romney had already anticipated it and gave his response before -0- launched. 0-bama did play the pansy and usually delivered his kidney punches from behind after the segment time was up – leaving no chance for a response. That allowed him to get in his licks, but also made him look petty, striking only from the cover of the moderator's, uh...skirts.

Indeed Will is entitled to his opinion but to be taken seriously one needs to be grounded in reality. "Immeasurably the best" debate in American history? Really?? Wow. Obviously, Will has never read any of the debates involving Henry Clay, John Calhoun, Daniel Webster, Stephen Douglas, Abe Lincoln or W.Jennings Bryan. Prime facie, Will's assertion is beyond absurd.

So Will wanders off the straight and narrow now and then but I'd like to see him as a debate moderator and I suspect most of those bashing him would as well.

Oh my, Will disagrees with the wingnuts so he is evil. This from a lot of self professed ex -democrats. For the record I have never voted for a democrat for any office in almost 60 yrs. Even when I was "young". Not an excuse.

Obviously Mr. Will has stopped taking his medication
