Live blogging the first Presidential Debate

[Pinky]

Obama- "Does anyone believe that too much regulation and oversight was the problem on Wall Street.."

[spuwho]

Nothing like a one man blog to bring clarity

[Pinky]

I agree- jump in here..

[Pinky]

I'm fascinated by the "real time opinion tracker" on CNN's coverage, and the difference between men and women's "hot button issues"..

[Pinky]

I can't figure out why Romney wants to be President if one believes as he does that all power and responsibility lies with individual states.

amen

[Pinky]

Mitt looks ill; strained smile and a sweaty upper lip. 

[avonjax]

Mitt was one long negative political ad.

[fsquid]

Leher was run over like that Terry Tate dude.

Romney. Looked better in that debate, but I don't think it will matter.  Obama has too big of a lead in the swing states

[avonjax]

This is what I got from Romney. Privatize everything and leave most decisions, except Military spending, up to each state. The United States of America? Oh and cut all funds to PBS.

[fsquid]

Surprised Obama didn't bring up the 47%

[simms3]

Liveblog or negative opinion of Mitt blog, LoL.

Anyway, neither my Twitter nor my Facebook newsfeeds have anything positive to say about Obama right now.  Lots of disappointment, myself included.  I thought Obama was going to cry a couple times, honestly.  I also buy into some of Romney's ideas, so if Obama doesn't energize his Democrat/liberal base and fast (and Romney/Paul refrains from social issues), I might switch over.

Oh and cut all funds to PBS.

Hey, that 0.012% of the budget will make all the difference.

So Pinky, I'm guessing you're a Romney/ Ryan kind of guy.
