A statement of the obvious Miss Peggy.

Without the alphabet media's protection, the veneer is shown to be what we all knew it was...thin to non-existent. I hope that Mitt comes even more prepared for the next debate.

Ryan's debate with Biden should be a SNL skit.

Dear Margaret,

Where were you when we needed you ?
Your place at the table has been re-assigned to Dana Perino.

Cheers !

OP - I think Peggy better pull the head back under the blanket because she's probably going to get it handed to her here very shortly.

FTA "It wasn't just Mitt Romney's strong performance."

Ah, yes, yes it was Ms Noonan. I have no intention of reading the entire article, that was enough. Besides, you've discredited yourself just like a fawning groupie so many times in the past, I no longer read your columns.

Norma Desmond writes again (yawn).

After Ann Romney's speech at the convention, after Fox pulled Juan for his "corporate wife" comment, he was replaced by Peggy. She has an incredibly irritating habit of saying "Do you know what I am saying" after she makes a pedestrian observation. She has no idea that she isn't nearly as bright as she thinks she is.

Why, Peggy, I thought you had gone to the dark side. We saw the two candidates side by side for the first time. As you said, Romney looked Presidential; Obama did not. He hung his head and tried to remember his lines. All he could come up with were the words that are always on his telepromter. He may have been on something. You know he is a memeber of the Choom gang.

Peggy thought to herself during the debate that Obama might just be playing possum? That alone tells me that she is only pretending to have seen the light.

Why does it always seem that Peggy Noonan is speaking down to her reader...is that because she always is...Romney destroys Obama in greatest one-sided whipping since Little Big Horn and she believes it will dramatically change the race...duh! She triviliazes the momentous and exagerrates the trivial

Peggy Noonan is so Beltway and self important.
Still she makes the point that Obama is going to make the campaign even more ugly and we see that Axelrod is already out there throwing mud.

Didn't read the article, won't give her the click. However, agree #1. Just wondering if Bill Kristol is in there with her.

I grew up near enough Chicago to know what is what there, and prepare for a tsunami of nastiness, with a once again compliant Press fully compliant, reporting every theory or purported lie without actually fact checking as to whether it is one or not. The Press has worked its way to the gutter, with a few exceptions, and one would think they would now wake up and smell the coffee, but that will not happen........no matter how much contempt we feel for the Brian Williams,' Tom Browcaw's and Andrea Mitchell's of this world, THEY seem to think they are ethical journalists, maybe because they all hang with each other ---maybe they NEED to feel that but nobody can lie THAT much to themselves ------and they will choose the Obama as God path and tacitly go along with every sleazy, nasty trick Axelrod & Company put forth. Just watch!

Do you hear something? I thought I heard something....

As another ustabereader of Peggy I see her still as MSNBC shill.

And of course, watch Peggy----- though I am sort of amazed at how strongly she is disliked. She did/does have some valid points on occasion, such as the Romney campaign's total disappearance on the ad trail, and the respond to ad trail, for the past weeks---they bet the farm on the debates, really risky, and I dearly hope Romney can handle a "Town Hall" with, I am sure, some real Obama ringers thrown into the audience. I have not been a Noonan partisan for a long while, but I do think we do ourselves a disservice when we damn to Hell anyone on "our" team who puts forth a legitimate or even semi legitimate objection as to how the Romney campaign is running........; we also look like s---- when we personally attack Barack and/or Michelle on physical grounds---it makes us look unbalanced, and we can't afford that.

No doubt the Dems will parade around the Big
Bird meme. All Mr. Romney has to do is dig up the huge profits generated from sales and point out that Big Bird no longer requires subsidies from strapped taxpayers. Big Bird is part of the 1%!

Peggy is supposed to be the diva of nuance, explain it to us all.

Simple fact is that, aside from the race card, the only thing obama has is his supposed "cool" factor which is based on his fictionally high IQ. Romney is in the process of dismantling that "cool" card. After the next debate, that should be completed. And after that, obama's race card is just too dog-eared to get any mileage at all. Time for the U-Haul Barky.

There it is Peggy, it's that simple.

Air departed from BO's balloon, Ms. Noonan, but it sure didn't sound like soft hissing.

Let the media downplay Romney's superior performance. Let the democrats call Romney a liar. Both will see the public distrust them even more.

And here is the question of the month: HOW does the economy add ONLY 114,000 jobs and the unemployment rate drops? Rick Santelli said let's have some FUDGE with that brownie!

Show us your math, indeed. Romney needs to immediately take up the intellectual and moral challenge on this, IMHO, asap.

Au contraire, let's keep talking about Big Bird. Romney should point out how much the government could make privatizing this asset like a Thatcher. Sounds like a job Bain Capital would be perfect for.

Peg me dear, the air has gone out of your own balloon since the 2008 election with your sweet words to Mr. O. You were part of his myth making then.

Go away Miss Piggy. You have had your day. There was a time when I used to admire people like Colin Powell, yourself. Not anymore...

I am not giving her a click , either. She wasn't there fighting for an honest interchange of ideas. rather she was totally in the tank for the racist prezzy putt and forgot her duty to hold him accountable.

"America got its first, sustained look at the good and competent Mr. Romney. And it really was a first. He wasted his convention "


Your an idiot Peggy, we all knew at the convention and before that he was Presidential. We knew he was good and more than competent. If you didn't see it then you only look at things with your eyes closed and wait for someone to tell you. Go away, go back to MSNBC or some other place that puts up with your blabber.

Regarding Big Bird, all Romney has to do is tell the American people how much Big Bird has cost the taxpayers over the years.

Two thoughts occur: (1) Peggy Noonan changes sides once again, and (2) is she auditioning for a job as a Romney speechwriter, or am I reading too much between the lines?

Yeah, but Obama is going to make up for lost ground on the NEXT debate, you betcha.

First time, he was thrown off-balance, since he was unaccustomed to the altitude at Denver, doncha see, and it affected his usual quick wit and clever repartee.

So he swung and missed. Not gonna happen again, nosiree, Bob.

Peggy Whoonan?

Nope, Peg. I'm not giving you a click either. What #2 said: where were you when we needed you?

I am afraid to read Peggy Noonan articles.

Well, since we're talking 'Chicago'; "Romney WHUPED Obama's BUTT". Mitt knew that this was going to be a possibility. His advisors know that with less than 30 to go, it will get ugly in a hurry. That's the Chicago way! Hint: Live TV nixes teleprompters!

Peggy, I wondered when you'd surface. Your tired, pathetic attempt to be relevant again has failed. It's not that we're unforgiving; it's just that you have nothing to say or that you repeatedly state the obvious. Maybe you could apply to the AARP as a writer for their magazine or even a proof-reader, if you have friends in high places.

Peggy got annoyed with the republicans when GWB ignored her and her "speech writing" ability. She turned to the dark side for attention. She made her choice, had her turn and her chance. Now she can go retire. She's done.

Peggy, Peggy, Peggy! The poor-messnbc-sellout reminds me of the old adage "a day late and a dollar short". Nobody is listening or reading what you have to say any longer.. Go kiss up to chrissie matthews and the rest of them! Not interested..

I agree, #15, on the Peggy vehemence, not that I appreciate her defection, as well as the point about attacking on physical aspects. Better the high road. Surely there's enough on policy, view and character to sink one's teeth into?

Can't make myself to read the entire thing, amazing now that the obvious has been seen by millions she is trying to make herself relevant again. Peggy have another facelift to while your time away and stay away!
I saw her once on TV and could not believe the way she spoke.I assume you were to take a chisel and carve her rubbish in stone...too bad zero could not use her on his team! She sells to the highest bidder.

#19: He's already doing that. See here:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/5/romney-jobs-growth-not-enough-reelect-obama/
where he points out the number doesn't include those who stopped looking for work.

I just want to say a big thank-you to Peggy. She showed up 2 days late to inform us that Mitt won the debate.

See, Pegster, we still dislike you THIS much because you sat down to dinner with Barky in 2008, developed a school-girl crush on him, and then proceeded to tell everyone what a great guy he was. The mushy no-minds in the middle then used your advice, among others', voted for Barky by the millions and now we've got the entire Choom Gang in office.

Go sit at some other table. We don't want you at ours.
