In reply to the discussion: ****OFFICIAL DEBATE THREAD #4***** [View all]ljm2002
(10,751 posts)37. Romney's doing better than I expected...
...and it's worrying me. He IS rude, no doubt. But when he is talking about his policies he sounds forceful and convincing, especially for those who do not know the details and who do not realize that he has not supplied any of those details. Most people do not think that the 1% are trying to steal everything and set up a caste system in this country... they just don't get it.
OMG Romney just used the "you're not entitled to your own facts" line.

Ooooh. I hope this gets better. Obama's manner of speaking doesn't lend itself to debate, I think.

Have you seen Obama's other debates? I've seen all of them. Obama is not a great debater.

When I watch a debate, I want someone who actually looks like he's considering his answer

Fact-checkers, Schmact-checkers: The time is NOW, and the fact-checker should be Obama.

Closing statement - Obama. The "approval" line on CNN by stupid undecideds doesn't go up much.

No. Mitt morphed. But it's going to backfire on him. We have records of what he has been running on.

Obama could and should have called out Mitt's....discrepancies (can't say "lies", I guess).
