Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

I tried watching the debates a couple times, and every time Romney started to speak, he'd lie through his teeth and I'd turn the TV off in rage.

Andrew Sullivan is completely losing his shit over on his blog, calling the debate a complete disaster for Obama.

Very depressing if this is the only thing people use to make their decision, especially if they don't bother to fact check.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Here's my prediction--Romney's support will go up a percentage or two, and Republicans will complain that this small increase is further proof all the posters have a liberal bias.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sullivan also tweeted something incredibly ill-advised if not racist at the beginning of the debate: said that Romney looked most like a President. Which is really and truly fucked up.

I wish Sullivan would get over his race shit. It would help his writing enormously.

Jesus CHRIST. Seriously?

Obama fucked that up badly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This debate won't make a difference. It won't have changed anyone's mind or clinched the undecideds. Romney will get a slight bounce but it won't matter.

Obama fucked that up badly.

I'm not seeing it.

Obama fucked that up badly.

You're going to have to sell that harder. What I saw was the President emphasize his record, press Romney on the "What, exactly, is your plan?" front, and get off a couple good zingers. Mittens didn't dribble on himself, but there were a couple of good flounders towards the end.

I think Obama could have done better, but he apparently decided not to (or was advised not to) challenge Romney's misrepresentations, and failed to hammer hard enough on the fact that Obamacare is (a) a Republican plan; and (b) exactly the same as Romneycare, which is doing very well in Massachusetts.

He also looked tired and unengaged. Hopefully he'll step it up for the next one.

This will be my new mantra. Which I will eventually shorten to my favorite movie cheer: It just doesn't matter. It just doesn't matter....
