On CNN's graph, mittens is flatlining with female undecided voters

Wow...when POTUS was doing his closing remarks the line showing female undecided was going waaayyy up to the positive mark. Once it was mittens turn to speak, it literally flat lined.

and the undecided female voter line rose dramatically when POTUS was talking but as SOON as mittens INTERRUPETED him and started ranting, the female line tanked back down to flat line. Mittens desperately needs undecided female voters and his behavior tonight turned them off.

Ever read in a novel "The man smiled a smile that never reached his eyes"? Well, that's what it looks like.

part of the replay on CNN. Soon as she saw the split screen she commented on how rude/smarmy mittens looked as POTUS spoke...and I hadn't even said anything to her about how I felt about it. She asked "so did he make that face the WHOLE time?". Yep. The full 1.5 hours.

8. Odd that among the men the minute he started talking their line would start going up.

I don't know but I get the feeling there is something other than politics going on there. Envy? Or maybe they didn't listen to the directions about what pushing the button meant.

And I have a strong suspicion the males were Republican plants/liers about being "undecided", as they seemed to go positive for everything (no matter how bad it was) Rmoney said and were flat lining/negative for everything Obama said.

I think he lost some women's votes tonight. My boyfriend kept on saying "what an arrogant ass!"

14. Yep. Imagine him using that smarmy grin being used on an international level

As in when he would be trying to handle an internantional crisis that needs to be handled delicately or being face to face with other world leaders who are disagreeing with him.

What comes to mind is that it's the same shitty grin he used as he walked away from the media group after speaking about the Libya attack. His back being towards that group he thought no one would see it...not realizing that his pic was being taken and the whole world got to see his facial expression/smarmy arrogant look.
