Wow, this is a great read.

Yep, this guy saw what I saw, thought what I thought and hopefully will vote like I intend to vote.

Now, the question is how many others respond in a similar fashion: Will there be enough votes cast to win?

Obama-Mao has his lawyers lined up to challenge any and all close counts.

Evil has to go!

"What you see is what you get!"

Romney was Presidential.
Obama was snarky.

Women and Undecided voters will now decide!

Romnet/Ryan!

Great read. I think Romney did what was needed last night, and while the debate was a little blamd, Obama ended up looking pretty petty. The sophomoric and condescending aircraft carrier line is going to resonate on the right. Its Obamas attitude toward ordinary Americans in a single sentence.

I too wanted to see Obama floundering over Libya. But I saw something else in Mitts studied avoidance of the issue. It was the first question, Romney addressed it briefly and moved on. As he did so Obama interjected and tried to bring Romney back to Bengazi.

Why would Obama try and steer the question back to the one true Republican red meat question? A good debater would have sighed in relief that his opponent did his dirty work.

I think the Obama camp spent a huge amount of resources on countering this question, expecting it to play a large role. They had apparently laid a trap to goad Romney into one of their "stinging comebacks" which they hoped would become the debate line of the night.

Obama must have desperately wanted to deliver that line. Bengazi was the one subject he should have wanted to avoid at any cost. His eagerness to keep that question alive speaks volumes to me about the wisdom of moving on.

I think well played Romney.

Can't stand to listen to the Won, so I often hit mute when he is speaking on my tv.

Did it during the 2nd debate(couldn't watch the 1st)

Wow, what a difference taking the words out makes to how you see the debates.

We can smell a winner, eh? So what did we smell in 2008?

What we can smell is a loser. What we can smell is fear and cowardice and lying and duplicity, and when we smell something bad we go with the other guy.

Everyone except his fellow travelers can smell BO now.

It is really something that the tough primary season was such a blessing for Romney. Battle tested and bloody, he came out the better man. And Obambi was doing nothing to improve his skills. He just went to the usual hero worship fundraisers and learned nothing of real campaigning. This is the first real campaign (sure, everyone thinks he beat the unbeatable Hitlery but she couldn't win city dog pound superintendent without Slick). Now Romney is the alpha male and its obvious when seen with the ultimate wussy dope smoking wimp, Obambi.

Bullseye!

This one needs to go viral.

Like # 5, any/all mute buttons within arm's reach have been worn out over 3.5 years of overuse. This is a outstanding read - with a little different different twist. I will forward to all my email friends. I think this is a... "must read".

Obama’s handlers told him to just call Romney a liar on every point. It might have worked once but after 4 or 5 times it lost any value. Also, they had also set him up to use the line about “ships that have panes land on them” and ships that go under the water”.

I was a little disappointed that after Obama had spoken about what a great pal he was of Israel, Romney didn’t ask him then why he had time to go on Jon Stewart, The Tonight Show, The View, etc. yet couldn’t make 30 minutes to meet with Netanyahu.

It has always been the alpha male vs. the metrosexual. The latter being the guy you like to watch chick movies with, but not much else.

[whisper] Landslide!

Voters will vote pocketbook issues so this foreign affair stuff can wait for the policy wonks to debate ad infinitum after the election. The dismal state of our economy has swayed those that can be swayed and those that can't one way or another will stay home.

I am glad to see the debate was generally positive for Gov. Romney, but I will not believe he's won until Chris Matthews announces it.

Presidential debates are not high school debates, scored for winners and losers. It is possible to "win" a debate, as Romney did last night, by appearing calm, decent, strong, presidential.

Obama's attempt at a steely gaze came across as unpleasant, hostile, even silly. He didn't faze Romney, and he didn't win anyone's confidence. He made himself smell nasty. A snapping dog doesn't make people feel safe.

Someone (mistakenly) schooled Obama in focusing that "steely gaze" on Romney whenever he was speaking. They didn't realize that over an hour of that would look forced and downright crazy. Jonah Goldberg got it right when he said it looked as though Obama thought it could cause Romney to spontaneously combust.

It only enhanced the meanspirited, small, petty snarkiness of Obama's words.

He lost.

Barak has only two facial expressions.

The goofy "John McCain" type smile.

The gloomy glowering disapproval face.

Romney settles into a pleasant and comfortable facial expression of tolerance and good will.

Very telling in both cases.

obumbler's expression reminded me of when Sheldon was focusing on Leonard trying to make his head explode on Big Bang Theory......

Wow. This is the acoustic Obama. A weak and ineffective laughingstock. I can't imagine how truly demoralized his backers have to be.

My husband, an alpha male in his own right, =) and I were talking about ths very thing this morning- how most people aren't very honed in on foreign policy, but that the body language was so apparent last night.

He said that Obamas demeanor and condescension were ridiculous and embarrassing, esp the lines about submarines and aircraft carriers. I'm glad it's becoming so clear.

And what did Obama's body language tell us when he bowed to foreign heads of state, some of whom hate us?

This is what you're taught if doing presentations, a job interview or other speaking engagements. Words matter the least, body language the most. Optics matter, and I think women are better than men when it comes to picking a winner.

And #19, I'm tempted to answer your question, but I can't honestly do so in good taste.

Don't worry, don't fret, the race is over. Obama has lost his base. I saw the worlds worst looking camper today. It was home made, and looked like it was sitting on a Yugo frame. The inside was trashy and it appeared like something that you see parked at left wing demonstrations.

On the back end there were environmental signs and one that said something like keep the oceans clean. On the right side was a new sign that had a circle with a cross bar. Inside it said NObama. It's over I tell you, even hippies have bugged out.

Curiously enough, I think I saw a subtle transition in the final part of last night's debate.

President Romney was no longer talking to those at the debate, or the millions of Americans watching it. He was communicating directly to important heads of state.

He was telling the Presidents of Egypt, Iran and Pakistan, the PM of Israel, and even the leadership in Mali (yes, we've noticed you!) what they can expect from the American president over the next 4+ years.

What a beautiful segue. He had sold the American public on his presidential bearing; Obama had destroyed himself with his evil, staring, condescending demeanor; and President Romney sensed he could let the world know how American foreign policy would shortly change. It was scintillating to watch.

I like this guy.

What a wonderful article. I am a woman workng in a male dominated career field - and I see the alpha male versus beta male dance all day long every day. Romney is a true alpha. I'm not even sure Obama is male.

I also can't stomach the way he says Pock-ee-ston instead of Pakistan, the way AMERICANS say it!

"Reagan could have bottled it."

Heh heh heh. Yeah. No kidding. With any luck, Obama will be the last we see of the metrosexual American male. You know, the ones who always want to hug you when you see them instead of shaking your hand. I don't just disagree with everything Obama believes and stands for. On a personal level he has always creeped me out. There's just something not right about him. After January we can all stop wasting out time trying to figure out what it is.

Good article and great comments!

What happened in 2008?

First...it was part of an overall plan...the way paved by the unreal media pounding on George W. Bush for eight solid years. The electorate was sick of that.

Second...McCain was inserted, possibly as a career payoff, into the nomination by the Republican Elite Establishment, who knew it was a Democrat year anyway.

Third...McCain could have actually won, which probably scared him silly (or sillier than he usually is), had he only let Sarah loose to campaign hard and everywhere for him. So McCain reined in Sarah and gave away his chance by endorsing the first TARP, which most reasonable people detested.

And now there are a passel of embarrassed Obama voters out there...many will not vote at all this November, others will deny, deny, deny the obvious shortcomings and major faults of Obama and vote/campaign for him anyway. If Romney wins, they will never believe they were in the wrong. If Obama wins, they will have the biggest Life Lesson they have ever encountered.

Major Life Lessons for Stubborn, Stupid People is not a goal of mine and I hope they can continue in their ignorance, because the price we will all pay for their education is way, way too high.

Obama is so sissified, even with that lisp, that I was astonished that he won in 2008. I don't think a similar white candidate would have won. It appears that many voters saw what they wanted to see--in effect, Obama was a blank slate on which they could project what their own idea of hope and change would be.

Remember that Al Bore had an advisor he was counseling him on body language and clothing, to project that he was an alpha male? It didn't work, because the real Gore came through.

I do think that Romney (and most of the Republican candidates) project a more masculine image than Obama ever does.

Good article. Only one missing is Al(pha Gore.

Remember the Rollin Stone cover?

I noticed that beady-eyed stare of BO's, too. I saw it once before when I was sitting across the table from my ex during divorce negotiations. He was trying to stare my lawyer down & not succeeding. I remarked to my lawyer about it later, because he didn't seem to notice it. He had - and he told me that he knew enough about body language to say that my ex was clearly terrified & knew he was losing.

The alpha females lead Obama's pack (Moochella, Valarie Jarrett, Hillary). Obama is a whipped dog, constantly has his tail between his legs.

RE #26:

It is my firm belief that John McCain did not want to WIN the Presidency, he only wanted to RUN for it. He was addicted to the adulation of being "The Candidate," and all of the perks that came with the position. The thought of actually being President, however, was beyond his thinking and ability, hence he reigned in Sarah, suspended his race mid-stream and basically did everything he could to concede the race to Obama without actually dropping out of the race.

If the GOP had run ANYONE else in 2008, we probably would have been spared the nightmare of the last four years. IMHO, John McCain is nearly as much to blame for the hell this country is going through as Obama!!!

LANDSIDE, Landside.......landslide. sweet

A great read and right on the money. Romney is certainly reaching his stride and I pray that nothing will happen in the next 14 days to shake the "oh so important undecideds" that are moving toward Romney. But, Obama and his cretins are scared and cornered and like the dogs they are, they are very, very dangerous right now. Drudge has put some stuff up that looks like the campaign is now going to take a very, very ugly turn. Let us pray that voters will not be swayed by the smut Obama and his goons are going to peddle.

Stake. Heart. Dead. Gloat.

Who didn't recognize that death ray stare? Obama-Biden = Dumb & Dumber

I am as happy as everyone here but I will not jinx it by gloating! Not yet.

Last night was torture but thankfully over with a very good outcome. The popcorn in which I sadly overindulged is now put away until the evening of November 6. I am praying that the margin is so wide during that Tuesday that I do not need to spend hours eating bowl after bowl again!

Oh, the body language Obie has been using since 2008, the middle finger for America?

Excellent article, just hope it translates into a new President come November. Don't forget, American Thinker is a choir chair.

Obama also said, in his condescending manner, that "We have ships that go underwater, nuclear submarines...."
He had made it abundantly clear in a Medal of Honor ceremony that he was unfamiliar with the military and its lexicon when he repeatedly referred to "corpsemen". A submarine is a "boat", not a "ship". The leader of the enlisted men on board is called the C.O.B., Chief of Boat, not Chief of Ship....

The headline is an insult to junk yard dogs!

Obama was blinking more than the red light at a railroad crossing. It didn't look at all confident. He looked like he was afraid of being found out to be a liar and a phony.

Obama reminds me of Scar from "The Lion King."

#22, I thought he was speaking directly to the American people, especially in his last address. You, being lots smarter than I, nailed it.
Part of the world is shaking in its boots; our allies are smiling.
This is a great article that nails zippy's behavior to the wall. Alpha male? Not in his wildest dreams.
Pray for a sweet victory in two weeks and work tirelessly, too.

Obe's women are no more Alpha females than he is an Alpha male.
Alpha females guard the pack young and keep away harm. They if human would not sacrifice the young because they know that no pack can survive without strong members to keep the pack viable and pass along the best genes.
