Undecided before debate- but this helped me choose

I was going to vote for President Obama by absentee ballot.

Think I'll go to the polling place instead. If I'm lucky, I'll get to introduce myself to some of the true the vote folks.....

My opinion, (fwiw), I'd have preferred the President punch that loudmouth lying creep in the nose but:

He did get him to anchor on turning Medicare into a voucher system for me, my children, and my children's children.

He also backed him into a corner on his imaginary tax plan.

Personally, I think the President did well tonight. (Even if he didn't bop the guy in the nose)

(Just one man's opinion)

That's GOTV. And it is going to feel so good when each of us individually and together vote to defeat the awful Romney.

Many of us here are already planning to vote for Obama and never had any doubts about that. It's folks like you that we knew would be making decisions tonight (and in the coming weeks). Whether we thought Obama won or lost tonight is not important unless it changed our vote and I am pretty sure that hasn't happened. Lots of people here are angry with the President but I dare say most intend to still vote for him. Me? I would cut off my arm before casting a vote for Romney.

People like you who have NOT decided are important to this election. It is reassuring to hear that you were not swayed by Romney's lies and distortions. I had a great fear about that happening as it appeared that Romney was trying to say whatever he thought people wanted to hear in the hopes they would believe him and give him their vote.

Thank you for reminding us that all that phony bologna stuff Romney pulled out of her rear end tonight didn't work to entice you to vote for him. IF it didn't work for you, maybe we can still hope that it also didn't go over well for other undecided voters.

No bird killers for President. We see how well that worked out with Pres. Cheney.

Yep, we don't have this thing won yet, so it is VITAL that we ALL get out there and vote!!!! As Rachel Maddow says in one of her MSNBC promos, those of us who don't are simply furthering somebody else's agenda.

Glad you're here, and we need you!





Now get to work.

Glad you're here - and so glad you're gonna be counted. And I'm glad you intend to stand up to those Trash-the-Vote goons. Or maybe we should just call it "Goon-the-Vote"?
