In reply to the discussion: For the 500,000,000th time... Obama did not lose that debate. [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)15. I don't remember in 2008 the debates being such a big deal
and who "won" them. Since there is no way to score, there is no way to declare a winner in any case. That's where the pundits show they are not really thoughtful commentators. All they could talk about was style and no substance. The idea of anyone winning these is ridiculous either way.

I get it, you stand by troglodyte rules of debating. No need to repeat yourself.

Denial leads to loss, too. Obama freely admits he lost the debate. What's the problem with that?

Obama is human. He had a bad night. The numbers tell the story. I'm still voting for him. Biden won
