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.
Jesus CHRIST. Seriously?
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

I'm not seeing it.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Romney will get a slight bounce but it won't matter.
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....

smonster,
I'm going to search my timeline to make sure I have that right.

He also looked tired and unengaged.
I thought so, too. But I also think the debates won't end up swaying any voters, so I'm staying hopeful. And refreshing 538 a lot.

I wish Sullivan would get over his race shit. It would help his writing enormously.
Oh yeah. And his women shit.
