2012 Debates

How long before this thing starts?

 

[Cain]

I'm gonna watch this one with my Dad, a fervent Obama supporter. Just to get a rise out of him, I'll cheer for Romney.

 

[Caper]

Romney is up to 39% on Intrade... I don't think I've seen him that high. I suspect people are thinking Romney will easily win the debate tonight and then they will sell high on him tommorow. Might be the best time you will ever have to buy Obama low.

 

[Denver]

And... they're off!

 

[Shalamar]

Is Romney going to answer the question?

I guess not.

Lets see if Obama will.

 

[Denver]

First question: Romney doesn't give any specifics to the audience question. Obama answers with more specifics. But shotguns the answers all over the spectrum.

Let's see if this is a trend.

 

[Caper]

Romney takes an early lead,, based purely on style.

 

[Denver]

Cool... Obama is doing a Biden now: fact correcting Romney.

 

[R.Mackey]

Amazed that Romney took the conversation to the Detroit bailout when he didn't have to.

Not so amazed that he distorted his position on Detroit.

 

[Shalamar]

Hmm.. Gas prices question. Not sure if Obama properly answered it.

 

[Caper]

Wow... Romney went down 1.5% on intrade in like 10 minutes.

 

[NoahFence]

I thought Obama was better at debates....

 

[rustypouch]

Hmm.. Gas prices question. Not sure if Obama properly answered it.

I wonder if he should have mentioned it's the free market in action...

 

[R.Mackey]

Was hoping for Obama to explain his pipeline decision, but I guess it's too deep for the room...

 

[JoeTheJuggler]

Answer my question! Have you stopped beating your wife?

 

[Shalamar]

Oh my. Interesting. Maybe they'll start swinging fists at each other.

 

[Denver]

Finally. This is a REAL debate!

 

[R.Mackey]

Help me with the optics here. Is Romney looking "commanding" and "presidential?"

Personally I don't think it's working.

 

[Caper]

Romney very rude to Obama... loses style points.

 

[R.Mackey]

Point for Candy. Gave him just enough time to look stupid, and then moved on...
