Most lopsided debate in American history! The should make Barry peein a cup - he has to beon crack!

The man (0dumbo) is a f'n liar, federal support for education! I thought that was what my local taxes (that are strangling me)are for, who knew. At this moment jug ears is filibustering on education, and lying.

I haven't been able to access the site for an hour! Bummer. Romney is doing very well. 0bama looks like a rambling fool. The contrast between the two is very stark. I think Lehrer is doing a pretty good job, surprisingly.

Gov. Romney is eating Urkel's lunch!!! He's also not letting Lehrer get away with anything. I'm enjoying this immensely!!!

BTW, what's with the site crashing?? It's been (heck) trying to get on tonite!!!

One thing that has come thru loud and clear, Romney is smarter and more Presidential than Obama.

I think Obama wins for the most times repeating the same lies.

Mitt wins for keeping his cool while Obama keeps repeating the same lies, and correcting them with authority and confidence.

Big prayer meeting today - Glory to God. We prayed ears of hearers anointed to hear the truth no matter what tricks are pulled!!! Mitt is in charge!!!!! I am thrilled!!!

"Me and him....."? Freakin' president and he talks like that? Unbelievable!

Is it just me or does Jim seem to be feeding Obama reminders of what to say? Obama seems to be saying "Ah" a lot. It seems to be that O is spending a great deal of money in my state, Washington, to raise their basis' energy for him. I love that Mitt keeps being a fact checker.

Obama keeps doubling his time without interruption, Lehrer doesn't give the same courtesy.

Romney is just AWESOME! obama is talking in circles! Same old canned talk.

Talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk thy name is obama.

Get the job done: Thy name is Romney!!

"...90 billion would have hired 2000 teachers". "money went to your contributors".....Wooohoooo!!!! Go Romney!!

Mitts awesome. O is a rambling mess.

LOL #17. Mr. President you are entitled as President to your own airplane and your own house but not your own facts. Go Mitt!

"sometimes there is God, so quickly"

Romney: Substance
Obama: BS

I just made my third donation to the romney campaign and i encourage all to show your support and appreciation as well.

Romney looked like a president from central casting.

BYE, BYE Obambo and Bozo! We, the American people, will now have a little R&R! November 6th cannot come soon enough!

Wow, it took a couple of hours to get on tonight. Gremlins I guess. But just wanted to check in and say, it was awesome. Dear Leader didn't seem to know what was going on. And Mitt, well he was Presidential!

Romney: Game, set, match!

I can't wait to hear Maureen Dowd's pungent analysis.

Romney knocked out zero. This was not a win on points. Zero was a zero. We all already knew it, but now American knows it.

Tonight, the real loser was the liberal media. They protected Obama for four years, and as such, he was not prepared to deal with being challenged.

FINALLY connected after two hours of trying here on the left coast! Missed all the fun of sharing the debate with this site til now. Gremlins indeed! But THRILLED with Romneys performance nonetheless.

and there's the Rev. Al Dullton, putting in his two cents on MSNBC . . .

and Bill Kristol, who adored and promoted John McCain, who made an Obama presidency possible

I thought Mitt Romney did a great job - Lehrer tried to make Mr. Romney pay for Obama going into overtime but he just charged ahead - it was mortifying to see Lehrer flummoxed by Obama but I think he was finally somewhat exasperated by Obama . . . as if he could almost say, "I am trying to help you out here, Mr. President, but you're not cooperating."

Thanks to Lucianne for trying to keep this round table going. Too bad it crashed... the debate was delicious!

Mitt has knocked it out of the park all night. The Once has been steaming with anger, desperate, and, people here say, continually "lost in the weeds."

I have been lovin the dirty looks he keeps giving Mitt! They are SO obvious.

Chrissy had a tingle go down his leg tonight, Except it was from a warm liquid this time. Lol.

I couldn't get on lucianne all nite long. There must be a lot of others out there like me...
High 5s everyone! Mitt absolutely wiped the floor w Obama!
The best comment I've heard? The MEDIA is responsible for Obama's terrible performance---bc they have not done their job for the past 4 yrs. They've never asked questions. He's been so coddled by them that his inexperience at answering questions could just do him in. Bwaa haha

Great performance by Romney. The wheels have come off of Obie's propaganda machine. Romney now needs to keep poking the prod in a little deeper at a time and contine exposing Obie for what he is. Obie was clearly intimidated by Romney's command of the facts and Romney's overwhelming self-confidence and Romney's obvious air of already acting presidential.

I see the leftist drones elsewhere are blaming Lehrere for Zero's debacle.

I suppose they thought the plan was to continually cut Romney off mid-sentence, while praising jugears and explaining what he meant to say.

It's late but I couldn't go to sleep until after one more try to get on this site. I understand those who couldn't listen to obie's voice but you missed a treat. I usually mute him too, but I decided to listen tonight and I'm glad I did. Obey got spanked! Ole Mitt is in it to win it, boy! This was the best debate in a long time. I was my own Brit Hume with running commentary throughout the whole debate. Obit was rambling, incoherent, off topic, and clearly agitated. When Romney was giving it to him, he was looking at the moderator and the look on his face was screaming, "Help, me, Jim. Make him stop." it was hilarious.

Mitt
Trickle down government
You've obviously studied the specifics of what I would do, so obviously I've laid out some specifics.
He took obit to school, but I think he flunked the exam.
Cool move going last in the closing remarks. He put the last nails in obit's coffin.
Mitt had a lot of family join him on stage. Obit just had Arms. They had to join Mitt's crew to keep from looking pitiful.
Mitt ignored the interruptions of the moderator and wouldn't let him get him sidetracked.
The Dems seemed to scatter like roaches once the debate was over.

It was a good night!

I enjoyed the entire debate and after its close I watched a little coverage on fox news. They semed to be dampening my enthusiasm for Mitt's performance so on a lark I looked up which channel carries msnbc and tuned in to their coverage. Well, let me tell you, my spirits began to soar. I personally don't go in for too much schadenfreude but I had to make an exception for tonight. I lit my post debate celebratory cigar and puffed like a champ!!!

Mrs FF and I switched to NBC from Fox after the debate ended. There was a sense of defeat and shock. Andrea the hag tried to change the mood with her Truth Squad nonsense. I don't think anyone cared what she spouted off about. Next thing I know, we're off to local news.

Bottom line - no one could hide the fact that the emperor had no clothes.

Banner headline at huffpo right now: 'Romney wins the night'

I saw the whole debate. Romney won.Like most of you I was worried.Take heart folks,Without the TelePrompter, Obama is toast.

couldn't bear to watch as I can't stomach the sound of O's voice. Watched tweets and facebook posts. Interesting to see that even though all the pundits are grudgingly admitting Romney mopped the floor with O that those who were already deep in the tank are STILL deep in the tank for Obama and claiming that Romney did nothing but lie.

My take: The ones who were already going to vote for Romney are still going to vote for him, the ones who were already going to vote for Obama are still going to vote for him. But Romney picked up some of the undecideds tonight.

By the way, Intrade Obama plunged on Intrade and Las Vegas is betting on Romney.

The last time I checked, Jesus is not on the 2012 presidential ballot. Therefore, I have to vote for which of the two existing candidates, I believe better reflects biblical values. Keep in mind that a president is not in power to promote theology. That is what pastors and theologians are for. Rather, a president is elected to politically and economically govern our country. Therefore, I pick a president not based on his personal theology but rather upon his philosophy of government. When you compare Romney's philosophy of government to Obama's philosophy of government, which philosophy better mirrors biblical values? This is a question that all Christians need to ask in this upcoming election. For me, the answer is a no-brainer. Romney's philosophy of government, while not perfect, is much closer to Scripture than Obama's.

Yes, I loved that comment about "you're not entitled to your own facts." Ha ha! Don't get mad at me, but I thought Romney was a little Reaganesque in his responses. I just recently watched the old 1984 debate and I had the same feeling watching this one. Let's keep up the prayers!

Oh, and yes, the only thing Obama could do is repeat the same lies over and over even after he was corrected 5 times he still would say the same lies. Does he really believe that tactic will always work? Go Mitt!

One last thing...the leftist media is trying to spin it back into Obie's favor by repeating his comments about the lack of specifics. I just hope more people watched the actual debate than just listen to the comments afterwards by the leftist propagandists.

i watched the whole thing on c-span WITH my democrat husband who was SILENT through the whole thing. i was too but only because i didn't need to say one word. ROMNEY CLEANED PRES. OBAMA'S CLOCK!!! okay. now, remember, the dems are tricky. maybe pres. obama did this bad bad act on purpose and will be brilliant, awesome and assertive in the next debate. a possibility (he can't be worse, can he?). thing that really surprised me is that romney is so obviously incredibly smart (a dual law degree and mba from harvard that he EARNED proves that) and well mannered and cheerful and not the least bit intimidated. he has a lot of class and pres. obama looked like a curmudgeon. yeah. a curmudgeon. it was just great!!!!

I'm late to the party too, it took all night to get back on the site. First the NY Yankees won, then Mitt stole the show! I am so pumped I can't sleep. I was also absolutely thrilled with the Frank Luntz group, I think Mitt won over alot of undecided voters tonight.

Romney was strong the whole way through the debate, kept his points simple enough for the 47%, kept Lehrer in line, and took a few jabs at Bambi. Bambi? Strings of nonsense divided by Aaaaaannnnnnds.

The Guardian gives it to Mitt but finds him not likable. American on the other hand likes winners.

Romney flummoxed the unprepared media idol, did he? As I expected but was still wondering if I would be wrong. Going wobbly? But Mitt wasn't.

Was obama stunned or over medicated? The pathological liar needs fawning, constant approbation so he can believe his own lies IMO.

I am also stunned in having read headlines that some leftist pundits had been less than praising o. Meanwhile will the conservative pundits praise Romney, finally, or keep hedging their bets to be on the criticizing band wagon in case he loses? They have many suggestions on how he can do and say things their way. Now he has won markedly, will they have more critique than praise? They aren't dumb old republicans you know, they are conservatives. Win, win critics.

Tried getting on for about an hour. Then went to my ''history'' and clicked on a Lucianne thread. That got me in, went to home page and began reading all the wonderful comments. Right off the bat Obama's anniversary comment didn't go over well, too sweet and sickly - so obviously rehearsed. However Mitt's response was quick and cute. Seven Hundred and Sixteen, not going to forget that number in a hurry. Mitt was fantastic. He was the Chairman in the Board Room, so used to speaking with business leaders. No notes, just plain knowledge. That's who I want as my next President. Mitt handled Obama and Lehrer perfectly. And he will deal with world leaders perfectly. He was happy to be there and deal with the business, the debate, at hand.

There was a very telling moment. Leherer let zero get away w/something and zero gave him a big, sheepish grin and blinked his eyes (need descriptor here) twice. Looked like a little kid who had been offered ice cream. Really strange, and probably a subconscious strategu zero has been using, sort of "What a cute little boy you are." Really very strange. I don't know if anyone else saw it. Would love to hear O'Reilly's maven Tanya analyze this.

The spin will be, just like Reagan-Mondale part 1, just wait til next time.

Gotta say I enjoyed watching President Romney spank that little boy tonight.

Several days ago, a very dear friend of mine predicted something close to tonight's result. He said:

"Relax, my dear friends. All hell is about to break loose! Romney will come off the Wednesday night debate like a fully-armed F-18 off a carrier's catapult. He will thoroughly embarrass the Kenyan in front of the eyes and ears of the nation...without being filtered and contaminated by the media."

Wise muskrat, that.

AB

There are two reasons to claim Romney won tonight: the real reason, as expressed in this thread. And the media's reason, which is to build Romney up in order to tear him down later.

First, the real reason. He won because he marshalled the truth. That takes two parts. The truth must be your friend, and you must know how to wield it in combat. Done, and done.

The fake reason, the media's reason, that Romney won: Obama wasn't aggressive enough. Obama was too passive. Not enough 'zingers'. You'd better believe that narrative will change in the second debate. And you'd better believe those who judge these things on matters other than an affinity for truthfulness, i.e 'the Mainstream Media', will be tripping over themselves to declare the 'new' , 'fired-up' and aggesively mendacious Obama the victor in future rounds. For those of you who will be unable to see future debates, worry not about missing anything, you've just been saved the trouble.

The key is, Romney should feel pleased with his performance because he had truth on his side and he expressed it well in a neutral venue. That won't hold next time and the media will almost undoubtedly spin a win for the incumbent.

Governor, don't overheed the counsel of either the naysayers or the sycophants. Trust the truth, defend it forcefully, and let the spinners be damned.

It's been obvious for more than four years that Zero was woefully unqualified to be president, is lazy and uninterested in actually doing the job of president, and has failed at it. (The only thing he enjoys and is good at is community organizing.... er, make that campaigning.... in a controlled environment.) So we should not be surprised that he was also woefully unprepared for this debate after four years of goofing off on the job.

To clarify, by saying Romney will not have a neutral venue next time, I meant that future moderators will have gotten the overarching order: 'Don't be like Lehrer and let the candidates speak, rather YOU control the flow of the narrative. If you like your job, that is.'

I couldn't get on the site either. Maybe it was overload.

As soon as they started, I wanted to destroy the TV. I am disappointed that Mitt didn't ask: Where have you been for the last four years ? Who are you ?

Notice the Wookie wore sleeves ? Was it snowing ?

Mitt Romney wiped the floor with young Hussein.

Thank you God for responding to my prayers.

Saw Pat Buchanan on Greta. He said Mitt could not have done better and I agree. Go Mitt! Proud of you!

Substance vs Abuse.
The Preezy came off snoozy ,like the O'piate of the masses, planning to bore us to sleep.
I put on the blender.

The kneepad media will be in their basements, plotting ways to re-rig their game--for Obiate.

IMO, BO was DUI.

Debating under the influence.

Mitt did great.

I don't think I'll need that clothespin to vote for him after all.

Did anyone besides me notice that toward the end, when Lehrer the shill emphasized "You two have a TOTAL of three minutes," O not only hogged the whole three minutes but went way over, without protest from his shill?

Be that as it may... I said to my husband on the way to work this morning, "Well, I know which of those two I would rather see at the diplomacy table speaking to a terrorist leader!"

We Coloradans are laughing our you-know-whats off at Joey B's claim that "it was the altitude"... O and his entourage have been burdening Colorado with their presence for the last several months so much that we've been wishing he'd leave us the heck ALONE!

Not to mention that Aspen, where they hang out so much on their innumerable vacations, is at nearly twice Denver's altitude. Maybe it was the LOWER altitude that was giving him the bends.

Romney came across as the "Captain of Industry".
Totally take charge, he will make a wonderful CIC.
