Well, we know what TODAY's major Rethug talking point is:

As proffered by Joe Scum first thing out of the box:

"this poor performance by the President...the story is just getting wider and wider (hand motion)...Democrats who say they have never voted for a Republican in their lives are saying 'Gee, I may have to do it this time'"

Replete with stories about people walking up to him on the street and saying earnest negatives about the President.

Bet he wouldn't tell the story if I saw him in the street and went up to him....my family has a long history of telling off politicians, including my father of blessed memory's put-down in front of TeeVee cameras of Arlen Specter's wife, Joan, who was one of the token Rethugs on Philadelphia's City Council. (It is said that if you added together all the IQ's of all of the members of the whole Council, you'd still have a 2-digit number).

1. It's pretty pathetic if that's all the Repubs can boast about at this time in the election.

It's not as though Obama said something really damaging in the debate - like he doesn't give a shit about 47 percent of the country, for example.

3. I find that fascinating considering most polls show that the debate did not damage obama

but did damage ROMNEY. I know this tactic though.... repeat repeat and sooner or later people will believe that the debate performance was so terrible that we should vote for the one who lied all through the debate.

12. Yep. This was in my very right-wing local paper this morning:

It was on the editorial page, right along with the cartoon of Slick Willard serving up Big Bird to Boehner, Cantor, et al. Morning Joke isn't fooling anyone. They've been pulling this same bullshit for years. It's no different than when they call in to CSPAN on the Democratic line, claiming that they're voting for the republican because they are "disappointed" with whoever is the Democratic candidate.

10. actually- those that work at the tv stations in general

are seen walking around or at least in the area of the studios.

except for Rush Limbaugh (who I think now does it from the vault in his house while counting his 50 million dollars).LOL

I don't believe any democrat voter is saying that

I believe Karl Rove sends people out to say just the thing though.
next he will be saying all those people are minorities.

and Carrol Spivey is doing talk shows this morning. Go Big Bird.
