Romney: game, set & match!

I commented to my wife about half way through that Obama had fallen into the same trap as the first debate. He was the the petty aggressor who was acting defensively while Romney was simply stating his case.

Romney has clearly been in many tense boardroom situations and his demeanor simply does not seem to descend to that level of classless attacks.

Obama came across as immature and could mount no real defense to attack the meat of what Romney was saying. All Obama could do was nip at Romney's heels, all the while lowering himself to ankle level in the process.

Gee. Now that the clueless neocon has weighed in, we can all rest easy.

Call it 'won unequivocally'.
Call it running down the clock.
Call it a wrap.

Almost time for Candy Crowley to sing.

Romney focused on undecided voters and those that will flip. You can play to your base all you want some other time. He showed himself to be presidential and more fit to be commander in chief. Obama played to his base and looked like a jerk.

#5 You are closer to the truth more than you realize. BHO has been going after his base for a year and half. Not reaching out to the independents and Repub;ocams that were Rinos.

I totally agree and I get it and approve. The media is actually finally going after Obama and the WH on Libya, so why be like a bull dog and go at it tonight. I liked how Mitt did this debate. Big picture. Good plan.

CK is right. Mitt is sewing up the moderates. This isn't about us (conservatives).

I tried my best at listening to the debate on the drive home, but turned it off. The disdain and disrespect dripping from Obama was unbearable. I cannot imagine it will have anything but a bad effect on the general audience as well.

...Dr. K is right, Mitt accomplished that which was most important in the closeout debate, reasure the last of those who could be moved, that he is not the boogey man...Zero on the other hand looked like he belonged with the walking dead...

...in the days ahead, I can only imagine that the boy won-duh, will become more shrill on the campaign trail as he realizes that there is nothing he can do to turn the tide...

At this point, my vote matters little, though I've already voted. Romney will win my state by at least 10 points. The only audience that really matters for this debate consists of the semi-undecideds in the swing states. You're not going to win their votes by saber (or bayonet) rattling.

Like most of us on Lucianne, I'm a red meat conservative who has followed politics assiduously for years. And yet--I remember the demeanor of the contestants from the previous debates better than I recall their arguments--especially that clown, Biden. Those few whose votes can still be swayed will remember Romney as calmly presidential, and Obama as petty and petulant.

Reminded me of years ago watching a schoolyard fight, as one held his opponent back, hand on opponent's forehead as he swung harmlessly never coming close to landing a punch, funniest thing,.........

I understand if you are a lifelong democrat. I understand if you are a committed liberal--liberals cannot ever, ever, ever admit they made a mistake. I understand if you are terrified of your union buddies beating you up if you vote against a democrat. I understand if you are black--you are inextricably brainwashed.

But I cannot understand how anyone could be undecided. How anyone could wonder if they might like another 4 years of this. How anyone could believe this man is anything other than a communist at worst or a Marxist at best. Undecided?... that I simply cannot understand.

I think 8 is right. The Reagan Democrats have been given something to think about.

Best line from this interview - I almost fell off my chair laughing when Dr K said it on Fox last night.

FTA: Now I would have gone after Obama on Libya like a baseball bat, but that's why Romney has won elections and I've never had to even contested them.

Some of us would just like to go after him with a baseball bat.... LOL

I long for a candidate who will FIGHT like he means it, and would do ANYTHING to protect us.

Romney didn't do that last night, but when I think about it rationally, as conservatives do, I realize the only ones screaming about FIGHTing are those on the Left, and they only fight windmills. And us.

And I love the comparison to the schoolyard fight at #11 - Yes! That's it exactly!

While I do not always agree with Dr. K, I nearly always appreciate his remarks. His analysis will either support my own conclusions, or else point out potential flaws in my reasoning. It is so much nicer to listen to a thoughtful commentator than another bomb-thrower.

What #16 said. IMHO, the word "neocon" (whatever that word is supposed to mean), has outlived it's usefulness, if it EVER had any in the first place. Dr. Krauthammer is correct, but if people want to see a street fighter just turn on messnbc and see how "attractive" THAT is. I never saw President Ronald Reagan get down in the mud with a challenger. obama looked like a 2nd grader desperately waving his hand at the teacher because he thought he had the answer. (with apologies to 2nd graders who don't act like obama) WIN for Mitt Romney. Loss for obama.

There is a lot of picking on Syria's Assad for being a ruthless dictator, but the first duty of a ruthless dictator is to be a ruthless dictator.

He may provide more stability re Israel than our leadership understands, as in what they blundered away in Ghadaffi's Libya and Mubarak in Eqypt.
