The debate gave "undecided voters" permission to say they were voting for Romney. More debates will not help the Obama campaign.

I honestly do not understand why all the left keep saying our guys are lying or lied in these two debates. Am I missing something? Did they change potions on something or make up something? Why is this the accepted fact that all the media, comedians and everyone keep repeating?

It's called Big Lie Propaganda, #2....a classic liberal tactic that Hitler and Goebbels ripped off from them. Basically, if you tell a lie, the bigger the better, enough times and as loudly as possible, people begin to believe it.

Dems say something's a lie if they disagree with it. No debating with them, agree all the way or you're a liar.

At this moment the media has managed to pull a quote from Ambassador Stevens's father that they clearly hope will aid the Obama administration and the media in sweeping the Libya attack debacle under the rug. I've been watching it pop up slowly for the last couple of hours. It'll be all over the news feeds for Monday morning viewing.

So, yeah, Andrew. Your side is pulling some seriously nefarious garbage out and you're calling someone a liar for having an opinion that doesn't square with yours. Deal with it.

Gay sex and marriage trumps America for this person.

This is nothing but an exercise in handwringing to make it look like Obama is toast no matter what happens in the next debates.

I can see Obama getting a 5 point bounce after this debate along with the media calling him the comeback kid.

The people who Obama is huddling with this weekend are the engineers of this country's downward spiral the last 4 years.They have tons of money invested in Obama to destroy this country and It's had for me to believe that Obama will just roll over if he loses.He can shut down just about any banking acct. if the bank is even remotely tied to Iran.

Obama has two choices. Rig the election or simply seize power.

FTA: "It turns out it wasn't the economy (it's been perking up lately)..."

Inflation sure has been "perking up lately," with a 1.1% rise in wholesale prices in September. That's over 13% on an annual basis, and it's a disaster that Obama has been engineering with all the reckless spending and "quantitative easing" (a euphemism if ever I've heard one).

What parallel universe does Andrew Sullivan inhabit? The US economy is terrible and everyone in this universe knows it.

Sullivan has stopped thinking with his private parts and is using common sense.

Shocker!

Have you read the new Social Security increase, They say inflation is 3.6%.

Andrew Sullivan came to this country of his own free will from a country run into the ground by Labour. I cannot believe that having seen and experienced first-hand the damage done by the Left in the United Kingdom and Europe, he has become a raving lefty here. Furthermore, he's a lefty who's having a very public emotional hissy-fit because his Marxist idol is losing an election in which he (Sullivan) cannot vote.

While Toby Harnden happily became a naturalized American citizen a few years ago, I cannot find any reference to Andrew Sullivan doing the same, happily or not, during his 30-year sojourn in the US. I have a feeling that Andrew has planned to make good money here and then retire to a charming historical cottage in the Cotswolds. If I'm right, then Andrew needs to stop mucking about so strenuously in other people's business. Thirty years in a country, much of which has been employed in changing the values system but to which he has pledged no allegiance, is more than enough.

"Feisty"? Is that the term they use nowadays instead of "braying like a jackass"?

Andrew, just go put on your party dress and go out on the town. You'll feel much better. You're getting too stressed out lately.

Obama had momentum before the debate? I really don't think he did. I think the media was working hard to give that impression, but the crowds at events were not momentum - inducing crowds.

There seems to be this denial of reality ("we were winning") while admitting that maybe they weren't. Makes my head spin.

The Obama of 2008 could have given that exact same performance and it would not have caused him to lose. So the difference has to be in the minds of voters.

Obama is, and has been, a lazy, egotistical, self- absorbed TelePrompTer reader.

The obama administration has been labeled "liars" and that's how Americans see them....

No amount of "spinning" will change that....

LZK

He had momentum #13: downward momentum.

Whomever mentioned it earlier, I agree that Obama will come out swinging - or at least girly slapping - like mad, forcing Romney off balance and causing Charles Krauthammer to proclaim him the Comeback Kid again while the media rings the death knell for the Romney campaign. The third debate'll be a tie or a narrow Romney win.

I never knew that Andrew Sullivan could be so entertaining.

Say Andrew. Have you been following obama's Benghazi cover up? You really must study that issue and get back to us with an update on how the campaign is going.

Andrew, you know the old adage, you never get to make a first impression the second time. Sorry he did this to you.

Obama's not the president. He just plays one on TV.

It's like the Wizard of Oz. Obama was exposed as a cowardly strawman without a heart in the first debate. Now voters are ready to get the heck out of there.

After almost a century of trying, International Socialists have finally got their clutches around the American treasury, and they will fight tooth and nail to hold onto it. Andrew is but a scribbler aiding their efforts. If he were to dare and not support the International Socialist onslaught at this point, he would find himself under the bus faster than he could scribble the word "beagle".

Not reading this claptrap as the idiot can't even get the headline right! Romney has had this election from the get-go, so there's no giving anything "back." Maybe ensuring beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it's been all Mitt all the time.

Just ask Rush.

You are correct, #19, and the name of the TV show was "Left Wing", The show was cancelled before the first season ended. Reworked clips from unused episodes are now being used for campaign ideas and ads.

People who lie a lot are quick to think and say that others are lying.

Have no fear Andy, here's a prediction for you: The left leaning professors will plant questions with the students, those same questions were given to Obama at least a week in advance and his Hollywood friends have helped him come up with funny anecdotes and ripostes which are well rehearsed but will look somewhat spontaneous. Obama has also taken charm lessons but will still be as uninformed as ever and full of bromides which the media will lap up as insight and having more value than the dry words they are and, finally, the crowd will not be able to control themselves and will applaud wildly anyway. The next day, you and your flunky cronies will call Obama the Comeback Kid and will say he found his groove! It will be like James Bond coming back!

Here's another prediction Andy: None of it will work. Rom-Ry is going to win and even you can't stop it.

"Biden does seem to have reversed the speed of Obama's free-fall but not the decline itself. "

Gee - how ironic is this? This is the same way that the Obamedia declare that an economic recovery is in full swing because "not as many people lost their job", and somehow the unemployment rate would fall (!) and the Obamedia and Obama would declare victory over everything.

FTA: "You only get to see them up against each other in the flesh three times. The first time - always the most important - made Romney look like a president and Obama an ex-president. It will take a lot of intelligence, fire and argument to turn that around in the time remaining".

If it takes that much intelligence, then Obozo is toast. He just doesn't have ANY intelligence. He simply reads that which is written for him.

Why does the left believe that the 47% comment by Romney should have ruined him? Most people who are hard working tax payers think that number is way to high.

Liberal notions are completely inverse to common sense.

Sullivan's unbelieveable remark: I remain committed, if deeply demoralized. That doesn't sound like he's thinking.

Obama destroyed two myths in the debate - the one Axelrod had created about Romney, and the one Obama created about himself.

Then, by making a fool of himself with the world watching, Joe Biden unintentionally showed the glaring difference between Romney and Obama when each of them selects key associates.

It's pretty funny to see Andrew's misery. His Godlike icon is incompetent. He all but says that he doesn't think that BO can turn it around in the next debates.

Liberals have found that it's all about emotion. Andrew accuses Romney of being deceptive but Romney simply has a different point of view.Hopefully that will be true for a majority of voters.

I taped the VP debate and watched it yesterday. Biden asserts a lot of information but provides little to back it up. He says Iran is not an immediate threat? That Israel is "on the same page about the intelligence". Really? Then why is Israel planning an attack. Does the world seem calmer, safer to anyone? Isn't the trend to the worse? were not our ambassadors KILLED? All Biden's blustering "facts" don't add up to the actual results we are seeing so this must mean his facts are bogus.

The liberals assert their bogus facts and them throw out wild accusations of LYING if you challenge them. No one can know all the facts but we do have a pretty good view of the results of liberal policies and it is pretty terrible. And that's no lie.

Sullivan is a smart guy, but it's clear he has no memory of Kennedy and Reagan cutting tax rates and seeing their economies soar, Laffer curve style.

He must think Mitt is lying, when Mitt says he is plan calls for maintaining the tax revenue that the 1 percenters pay, and that the middle class tax revenue will not increase either.

And to think I used to like him and his daily dish blog back in the old Web days.

#15, I love it! Obama will be girly-slapping. Perfect description.

FTA: "...we cannot launch a new Judeo-Christian war against Islam in the Middle East without igniting an even more ferocious global religious conflict;"

Mr. Sullivan appears to have it exactly backwards. He apparently has not heard Achmadinijad's pledge to eliminate Israel from the face of the earth. He apparently forgot that we came to Kuwait's aid when Iraq invaded it, and that we took the side of muslim Bosnia to defend it from Christian Serbia, and that we have had a strong relationship with muslim Saudia Arabia and Egypt. He has also apparently forgotten about the muslim attacks on US embassies, the Cole, the Marine baracks, New York, or the muslim attacks on non-US targets in India and Bali.

Mr. Sullivan, no one is proposing that WE launch a war against Islam. Islam has launched a war against US, and not just Christians and Jews and the West, but anyone who is not muslim (go talk to the Hindus and Buddhists about it). The choice is not whether we LAUNCH a war, but whether we ENGAGE in the war that has already been launched against us, or continue to lose this war one little bit at a time.

And make no mistake, it is not just RADICAL Islam that is against us, but all Islam. When was the last time you saw demonstrations decrying these attacks, in American streets, by ANY muslim American citizens, carrying signs "Muslims for America"? Me neither.

To the extent that tomorrow's debate involves domestic policy, I think that Governor Romney should say the following:

" Mr. President, this is your recession. You have prevented recovery by threatening the hiring class with higher taxes, higher fuel costs, higher medical plan costs, more EPA regulations, more union favoritism (NLRB),shafting auto company bondholders and associated salaried employees, and a number of executive orders of dubious legitimacy.

You should take note that someone, possibly Calvin Coolidge, said that the business of America is business, and that someone else (Texas Congressman Richard Armey?) famously said " No poor man ever offered me a job."

Businesses such as airlines are going "bang" due to your ill-considered policies, while you have squandered millions on ill-considered "green energy" ventures and the only easy way to get rid of this mess is to get rid of your presidency.

Andrew! You ignorant Slut!

Its simple. Both men were presented to the country outside of the "news" media filters. Romney could be seen for what he really is (confident, competant, accomplished), and the same with obummer (affirmative action hire who is lost without his good friend, Mr. Telepromptor).

The "news" organizations have shielded the true nature of both from the sheeple as best they can, but the debate bypassed that. They no doubt counted on one of their own (Lehrer) to keep the shields up but that didn't work too well.

I'm confident that Mitt will win the next debate, he's simply the better man and it's obvious to rational people. with a few exceptions (Clinton) the better man wins.

Ouch. !

Can't Billy Clinton save him?

Good points #37. We also saw without the media shield that Ryan is a poised, very intelligent, brilliantly informed, nice young guy (perhaps a little too nice, but he'll learn) with the self-control of a very wise older man - and that Biden is a bombastic inappropriately grinning obnoxious rude whacko jerk who wouldn't know the truth if it bit him with his own oversize teeth.

But that's just my opinion.

#15 - I think Obama will be just as bad as before. Did you notice how he couldn't look Romney in the eye? If that has been part of his debate coaching this time, when it comes down to actually looking Romney in the eye, he won't be able to do it because he is a coward. He will have to be so doped up to get on that stage that he will not have his wits (or his teleprompter) and he will stutter and stamer his way through it again. The man is stupid. All the talking points he has memorized will come out in response to unrelated questions.

Have you noticed how the 2012 debates are the new reality shows? What a concept!! People are paying attention.

Andrew Sullivan has moved from being someone to despise to becoming someone to feel badly about. He's such a weiner he shames himself.

A good person knows how to face the other person, listen to criticism and respond, strongly yet agreeably disagree, not get sarcastic and not mischaracterize other's positions, i.e. debate respectfully. Romney has that in spades. Obama has never shown such an ability. He bullies when ahead and whines when behind. Unless they've overhauled him and added a completely new aspect to his personality and demeanor, he's again in trouble tomorrow night.

He does not handle criticism well because he has gotten nothing but ''Atta boy's'' his entire life, starting with his doting Leftoid Mommie and Grandma all the way through the AA school policies and greased skids in politics. I think tomorrow night he's stuck with who he is and what he's done these four years... Utterly stuck, sans teleprompter and soft ball questions.

Reality Check:
1) Three highly educated in family are out of work over a year;
2) $70 dollars to fill up my truck to go to work three days;
3) $350 electric bill...
4) inflation is eating my pay
5) Possible loss of job under sequestration and this stupid usurper pResident is only talking about big bird ..
6) My medical insurance just went up $600 due to ObamaScare
7) Obozo is worst pResident ever

Why would anyone vote for this proven worthless failure.

Vote for the American

# 6 Barry with a 5 point lead after this upcoming debate. You have been drinking too much coolaid. What accomlisments has this illegal incompetant liar in the White House accomplished in 4 years.23 Million unemployed many more stopped looking for work.Over 16 Trillion National deficit. Stimulus tax payers money handed out to their cronies, moula lavished on Green companies that went belly up. The Libyan cover up when 4 American citizens were murdered by an affilliate of Al Quada who were trained militia.Why the cover up by our Commander in Chief, Hilary ,Axerod ,UN US Ambassador, You will recall that a week or so earlier to 9/11 this idiot in the WH was boasting to the world that HE had killed OSAMA also that top Al Quada General and other terrorists were kileed via drones.The cover up ,he had been shooting off his mouth that the Terrorists had been beaten. The raid on our Libyan Consulate was pay back time.This administation brought out a 14 minute amateur video as the reason for the uprising in Cairo and Benghazi even though it occurred on 9/11.I could go on but let's make a final Barry boondoggle. After 4 years he has not generated one new job. If a job was generated it would be in the private sector which this clown is regulating into non existance.

Codependent Andrew is another battered Bamboozer wife who resents all the brazen lies, abuse, neglect, and mistreatment; yet, he votes daily to continue the battering--and to lie for the perpetrator.
