Want to catch up on Senator Staple-Crotch dealing a death-blow to his "nice guy" image? Previous debatings here and here. (That second link is if you want to relive Third Man David Gregory finally succeeding in breaking your Wonkette, reducing us to a puddle of Tea Partyish rage. Your Editrix's mother thought it was great!) Now turn on
Almost all of the Romney proposals that could on any planet be described as "specific" (you have to be very generous but sometimes it's possible to get there) are things that Obama is already doing or has done.
Some Romney's campaign all comes down to two things: first, trust him, and second, he's so much more inherently awesome than the black guy that he can do the same thing and get better results.
In other words, he's building his campaign on a pile of trash in the clouds.
Oh you sweet innocent thing, you, thinking Presidential debates are about content and substance and not merely who looks and sounds more "Presidential" (whatever that's supposed to mean).
What was "BAD" about it was "He looked a little tired and stressed." That's the only measure most voters use, and therefore the only measure the media are interested in.
Meanwhile, Romney looked and sounded confident telling his 27 lies (by ThinkProgress' count), and therefore his performance was "good".
His new strategy is to tell the base to fuck themselves, and hope that they assume he's lying now but was telling the truth in the primaries, while at the same time hoping the "moderates" assume he was lying in the primaries and telling the truth now.
Anyone who would knowingly vote for a liar should probably spend all election day fucking themselves and NOT VOTE.
I donated to all of those except Sherrod, who's awesome of course, but appeared at the time to have his race well under control (I see the polls have tightened since), so he narrowly lost out to Mazie Hirono when I made the final cut.
as you all know i am a lily livered miss who freaks right the fuck out when obama wears the wrong color tie (which he never really does). this week has been hell. then i read Hendrik Hertzberg's crushing analysis of the debates and want to slit my wrists.
However, he does provide a spot-on assessment of romney which isn't necessarily any comfort:
"All the evidence indicates that Romney has no “core beliefs” beyond a gauzy assumption that the business of America is business and an unshakable, utterly sincere conviction that he, Mitt Romney, ought to be President, deserves to be President, and, for the sake of the country, must be President."

Yeah, what are the odds that somewhere down the line we&#039;ll discover that &quot;his wife&quot; owns the phonesex line?
Because Gov. Scott&#039;s already forgotten more about grifting than the entire Palin clan will ever know.
