Fez Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 So what's everyone's favorite Presidential Debate drinking game? Personally I will be following this guide and using the Romney scorecard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I love how Romney is trying to pin even rising University tuition costs etc on Obama. His google+ share on that came up on my "hot on google" stream, and I looked at the main shares and all of them were sharing it to say it was hypocritical etc - I don't think that approach was working on google+, but maybe that's the wrong audience for him. One of the prep guys before the debate was just trying this line as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Anti-Targ Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think Obama should open up by praising Romney on his time as governor for his progressive and moderate policies which influenced Obama's own early political, social and ecomonic thinking. Then sit back and relax while Romney spends the rest of the 90 minutes trying to prove that he's exactly not what Obama just said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davos Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney is over compensating yet again. This time by being way to specific and making promises that are not going to hold up for 5 minutes under serious scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeleyes Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I really fucking wish people would stop talking about gas prices. As a economic minded guy in energy, I absolutely hate it whenever anyone mentions gas prices. Its like the implicit policy suggestion is to nuke every other industrialized country that drives up demand? Seriously. The best thing (as far as I can tell) the government could do for oil prices in this country would be to de-centralize the refinery locations with giant capital grants. That won't happen, so shut up.OMG Romney did not just bring up being pro coal. I'm going to choke a baby. Probably a cute one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreverlad Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 WOO-HOO! Two democrats running for president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O' Bones Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I suspect that Obama has been instructed to prod Romney and then simply let him run his mouth. With the endgame being the more Romney talks, the more bullshit will be revealed in post-debate analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davos Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 What version of Mitt Romney are we on? 9.0? 10.0? And Obama keeps hammering home that Romney has been running on a completely different plan than he is talking about tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the endgame being the more Romney talks, the more bullshit will be revealed in post-debate analysis.Well, that's risky as shit, since right now Romney looks like he's kicking Obama's ass, factual horribleness of his arguments aside.edit: So when can some Democratic superPAC just roll out a national series of ads screaming "trickle-down economics doesn't work!" for about 10 years?

karaddin Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Going off the first 15minutes that seems like not a bad idea, I can see Obama really getting to Romney by the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord O' Bones Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 So in a nutshell, Romney's plan is specifically that it is awesome. What more detail do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 You know who is getting his ass kicked? Jim Lehrer.Yep. I keep thinking, shut it, answer the questions directly, and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 When he said to Romney "is there anything you would like to ask the President?" and Romney said yes and went on to talk for 3-4minutes without asking a single question. I wanted Jim to shut that down and demand an actual question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awesome possum Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney is being really aggressive, which I'm sure his base is eating up and would be impressive if there weren't a waft of desperation behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elder Sister Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I don't know who this Mitt Romney is, but he sounds awesome. The only problem is I'm not sure who he'll be tomorrow.ETA: Tomorrow he will promise to donate money to Big Bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davos Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney is being smoother than Obama, who I think its rather off-set by having prepared to debate a plan Romney is now disavowing. I'm afraid Romney's finally using a potentially effective strategy. And I'm not sure how that will actually impact the race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
