A foonerpost counts for a negative one on a political thread. Ergo: you may swoop @ 67 as of now.

I disagree dabo, I thought Mitt seemed well prepared and didn't get the "caught in the headlights" vibe at all. I think his "you've given 90 billion for green projects" scored some points. Obama seemed tired, but as it's his 20th Anniversary maybe he has a right to be tired. Bowchicabowwow.  I'd given Romney a slight win. Which he desperately needed after the 47% leak. For what it's worth - I do not like Mitt's voucher system for elderly healthcare. I didn't like it for schools, I don't like it for healthcare. I think he scored more points on what Obama hasn't accomplished than on what he would do as President. I do want to know for those of you that has made up their minds (which I have not) - what say you about the "offshore" bank accounts of Romney's and his history of shipping jobs overseas. Yes, this knowledge just comes from attack ads, that's why I'm asking you. And...I'll be honest - I'm open to voting for Romney as I don't think he can turn it around in 4 years either and would open the door for a Hilary run.

 Oh, I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind about it, but to me it seemed a draw. President Obama was certainly off his game. (Former VP Gore thinks it was the thin air, I'd say they were both suffering from altitude sickness in that case.) To me it seemed as if Governor Romney was a bit off, something disturbing him maybe, and it showed many times in his odd facial expressions, and his voice was a bit off as well. Plus I thought he spoke a little too fast at times, seemed liked scrambling. In any event, both men spent too much time attacking each other's plans. Don't care for that. Some of Romney's claims were overblown, such as his vast over-estimation of how Obamacare hurts job growth, in fact one of the major factors that held off would-be entrepeneurs venture into small business start-ups over the past decade or so has been the costs of health insurance and healthcare. Anyway, Romney has been polled as the winner, and he certainly needed that boost. I think expectations were high for the president, he had a bad night, expectations weren't so high for the governor.

26. "RE: Nary a peep about" |
Those weren't discussed because that wasn't the point of this debate. This was all about our economy, and with the exception of gas prices, these are topics for another day. I'm sure that foreign policy and immigration, at least, will be discussed at one of the other two debates. I think gas prices were mentioned a time or two, but never a focus.As for the format and moderator, I enjoyed it. As long as the two aren't wrestling on the floor and punching each other in the throat, the moderator just needs to throw out topics and allow for equal time. But yes, the moderator had lost control of the time clock very early on.  Paid for by AgPAC, a 2008 registered 527 organization.

LAST EDITED ON 10-05-12 AT 07:35 PM (EST)Just popped in for a moment. Love the picture. The reason to cut funding for PBS isn't the share of the budget. It's simply because governing is about making choices, and in the current environment, with 200,000 or so for-profit cable channels out there, federal funding of PBS is dispensable. NET (National Educational Television), the predecessor to PBS, dates back to the death of the DuMont Network in the 1950s. VHF was saturated, and the FCC was trying to make a role for UHF. The Ford Foundation decided to fund an educational television network on UHF in 1952 and then expanded it in order to utilize the stations (including a few VHF stations) that had been started to be part of DuMont but had been left high and dry when DuMont failed. When the Ford Foundation withdrew its support in the mid-1960s, the federal government stepped in, because it was considered so problematic to let NET fail, because that would only leave 3 networks in the US. The feds set up the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 1967 as a stopgap means to keep NET from going off the air. But NEVER did anyone discuss that the U.S. government would permanently fund a TV network. And yet the U.S. government's stopgap funding has now gone on for 45 years, DESPITE the addition of hundreds of cable channels. To keep Sesame Street on PBS, CPB allows Children's Television Workshop (the show's creators) to retain almost every penny of the tens of millions that the show generates annually in marketing revenue. So ... we're borrowing money from China so that CTW can produce versions of Sesame Street around the world. Most of them lose money, but the marketing revenue from the US keeps them going. In effect, US citizens are stuck with the bill for Sesame Street being shown in foreign countries. How does that make any sense when our current deficit is over $1 trillion per year and our federal debt is over $16 trillion? When you look at it like that, continued US support for CPB is preposterous. Part of governing means realizing that the U.S. Constitution provides only a limited role for government. In some cases, government may be able to help a transition, as it did when it set up CPB. But 45 years is more than long enough for NET/PBS to transition.... P.S. The US set up limitations on sugar imports from Latin and South America during WWII as a temporary wartime measure. They're still around. But they shouldn't be. It's a question of political courage, something both Bush and Obama completely lack.

when he did get into office he tried to compromise with everyone and watered down everything he promised. Completely disagree. When Obama came in it was "my way or the highway". Pubs were told to get to the back of the bus. During healthcare debate, Pubs sent idea after idea and plan after plan to try to compromise and were shot down every time. it doesn't matter who's in office, the other party is never going to help a President improve the country I'm no history buff, but isn't this kind of what happened in '94 with Clinton and Newt?

My favorite comment from Mitt came early on when he quoted Biden saying the middle class has been buried these past four years.
