Second Presidential Debate Thread!!


Round Two tonight! Will Obama come out swinging? I would think so. Does he know how? I kind of doubt it. Look for a nasty, nasty affair tonight. One of the theories about Biden's last performance was that he acted went full-jackass intentionally in the hopes of making Obama look better when Obama tries to go half-assed tonight. No, I'm not kidding.

So what do you think will happen tonight? Also, feel free to treat this like an open thread until the event itself.

OT: If anyone hasn't reviewed my books yet, I could really use the help! Even just a few words would help. Thanks! LINK.

  1. I think that Obama will come off as petty, vindictive, "a little bitch", and as a man who relies on calling Romney a liar without the slightest shred of proof to back it up. And rely on Romney to call him on it the way he did with the 'outsourcing to China earns you a tax break' comment.

  2. I don't think Candy Crowley is competent enough to be able to control this debate. Just a feeling.

  3. Muriel 2 is on its way. In January Cuba is scrapping its exit visa (citizens need permission to leave the country) though it is still controls the travel of 'sensitive' professions such as doctors (who with good reason would want to live in the US).

    Cuba explained that they are doing it out of love for the dispora (probably the funniest joke I'll hear all week).

    The timing of this probably has a lot to do with the weakness of the American economy (the last time Cuba staged a mass exodus was under Carter) and perhaps something to do with the state of Cuba. The exporting of the opposition will certainly make life easier for the Castros.

  4. So, they think that because SectHillary fell on the sword about Benghazi (while high tailing it to Peru, btw, so no one would have to face the US press corp...I know...who am I kidding?) that the case is closed and that the Pres is free and clear. Uh, no. Now he needs to explain the lies and misdirection on the CAUSE of the attacks. I think this should be Question #1 for tonight's debate AND for next week's too.

  5. barry's gonna come out with his best clint impersonation, but he'll still be the empty chair, no matter how much he squints and growls.

  6. What irks me is the pretense that these "town hall" debates are people asking the candidates questions from "independent" folks.

    The questions are preselected based on a liberal play book and I would not be surprised if half of them were written by Obama Campaign staffers. And even if they weren't and are on the up and up why should I give special credence to the 5% that has not yet thought through the issues enough to have made up their mind.

    Unfortunately we in the GOP need to refuse this format unless it is changed. One possible method that each party gets its own moderator that the candidates can select. The questions are split evenly between the two moderators who may choose what they wish. But that would mean the GOP actually getting a word in edgewise so...

  7. I just found out there are some rule changes for tonight's debate. They are as follows:

    1. No hitting below the belt.

    2. Special rule for Democratic candidates: Headbands may be considered as belts.

    3. Special rule for Republican candidates: No belts allowed.

    ---

    Indie, the only good thing about tonight's format is that I can make fun of the weirdos they select from the audience.

  8. Bev, it's at least possible that Hillary did this so she'd be the one to come out smelling like roses ("Look at me! I'm taking responsibility!") and get more room to manuever for 2016. I'm kind of suspicious that she'd make a run, but it's worth keeping in mind.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Since this is an open thread, I'll mention that American Thinker has a blog post up titled "7 More Simple Things Mitt Should Say...but only if he wants to win." Simply put, it lays shame on the "Thinker" part of the blog's name.

  11. I'm gonna miss most of it again tonight - GRRR. (mantra "graduating in May; graduating in May")

    I'm with Indi about "town-hall" "debates"

    tryanmax's rules look about right...

    T-Rav: a fb friend postulated something similar this morning - "I wondered why a politician as ambitious as Hillary would jump on a live grenade for this president the way she did. I assumed the administration must have some dirt on her but I think I may have figured it out. What do you think the media would do to Hillary if she outed their messiah? She would have no chance of earning her party's nomination in 2016 if the Media turned on her. However if she takes this bullet she becomes a hero, a martyr, if you will and the media will insulate her in 2016. This is a political risk for sure but I am positive that she is falling on the sword so that she will not be blamed by the left for sinking the president. This move may not save President Obama but it gives Hillary the best chance to be the democratic choice in the future. Just my new opinion."

  12. Look for the establishment to coalesce around Barry, this includes Candy Crowley. No matter what happens the liberal press will declare Barry the winner. The problem for the press is, the electorate has existed in Barry’s world and found it terribly wanting. So, if in reality Romney pulls a draw, he wins big.

    Note: Candy Crowley has taken so much flak for being a liberal hack, which she is, look for her to possibly take to Barry a bit, that in my mind is the X-factor. Barry doesn’t do off the cuff well, this could make him look like the stuttering, stammering fool that he is…we’ll see.

  13. tyranmax

    Exactly

    Why exactly does the RNC put up with this crap...

    Moderators who publicly announce our ticket is Dead, moderators who are personal freinds of the President.

    Every moderator from some liberal haven network that does not have one conservative working for them....

    It is nonsense! There are people from FOX that could be considered. Gretta Van Sustran.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Honestly the best Town Hall Debate format would be run by Greg Gutfeld.

    Instead of the moderator asking follow up questions we'd get follow up criticisms from Angry Cat and Puppy falling into the wading pool...

    It would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Indi: awesome Moderator suggestion!

  16. rlaWTX

    I think I beleived the "falling on the sword" to be taken seriously when they did it in ancient fuedal Japan......

    In modern day America it seems to mean getting a lecture circuit to sell books.....

    ReplyDelete
  17. LL, I agree. I think he'll come across as petty, snippy and angry. I think he will spend his time calling Romney a liar (without using the word) and attacking him over the 47%/Bain things. I don't expect to hear a reason to vote for him.

    ReplyDelete
  18. saw Pat Caddell's article about Romney pincer movement. What caught my eye was a great line Ryan might have used the other night. "Martha, if you aren't going to control the V.P. from interrupting me, why do you go over and sit next to him and I'll debate both of you together." Maybe Romney could use something similar if Crowley gets too obvious.

    Still, the A.P. has a storyline about how this debate could tilt the election either way. As such, if the president improves even a little, the spin to call this a grand slam game changer will be ferocious. Romney has to be ready to quickly knock down any Obama lies, stay out of the weeds and remind people the election is a referendum on a president who has largely failed to do what he promised and left us much worse off than we were. It's O.K. to fire a performer who fails that miserably.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Anthony, That will be interesting. I wonder how big the exodus will ultimately be?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Indie, not to mention that Candy Crowley is murder on the eyes! Greta doesn't quite stack up against the FOX info-babes, but at least she looks nice.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Bev, I think the problem with Hillary taking the blame is that she waited too long for it to be effective. It feels political at the moment.

    ReplyDelete
  22. tryanmax, I think I saw those rules somewhere.


    Do you have a link to the American Thinker bit?

    ReplyDelete
  23. Indi and rlaWTX, I don't like the townhall debates either. They strike me as fake, like reality TV fake.

    Sorry you're going to miss tonight's debate. But graduating is important. :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. T-Rav, I think Hillary ends up looking good. She looks loyal by taking the blame, but she waited long enough to make it look like she's not really to blame. In the end, I think none of this will stick to her, but it will make her people more happy with her.

    ReplyDelete
  25. How about bill Bennett...

    How could liberals complain about him. He is teh epitomy of "fairness" and "civility" in discussions

    Man I am really irked all these moderators are partisan hacks

    ReplyDelete
  26. Stan, I suspect Crowley will basically be nasty to both. I guess we'll see how biased she ends up. She couldn't be worse that the last one.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Jed, Unless Romney blows him away, I think the MSM spin will be that Obama won and re-established himself as the front runner. And they'll produce D+20 polls to prove it.

    ReplyDelete
  28. rla, you'll be with us in spirit, though, right? :-)

    The thing of it is, though that may very well be Hillary's reasoning, I don't know what the chances are that it'll play out like she hopes. The Republicans are still going to take this to Obama and pin it all on him, which would seem to undercut the value of her "sacrifice." Come to that, she's left it kind of vague what she's taking responsibility for. For botching the intelligence, or for all the lying? Plus, I don't know how much it will matter down the road.

    Then again, maybe Hillary's angling for something else. Who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Should Obama lose tonight, look to Obama and cronies blaming Hillary on the loss. Again, just a feeling.

    ReplyDelete
  30. BTW, what are the drinking rules tonight?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Joel, the drinking rules are forthcoming. Stay tuned.

    You should be stocking up, though.

  32. tryanmax,

    Sometimes I think the editors at American Thinker don't actually read the articles submitted.

    ReplyDelete
  33. tryanmax,

    Did you happen to read that author's previous submission? I am glad Romney ignored his advice.

    ReplyDelete
  34. T-Rav - One rule: Anytime Obama interrupts Romney - DRINK!!

    Biden interrupted Ryan 87 times. Obama's can do better than that!

  35. Instead of Papa Joe's guffaws, count up TOTUS' smirks...

    Yes, I will join you in spirit, if not in spirits.
    I'll be home about in time for the closing arguments.

    HilShil has spent enough time married to Slick Willy that I am sure she is angling for anything that pays off on that investment...

    ReplyDelete
  36. Oh, NO!

    Obama just scored the endorsement of a lifetime!

    Honey Boo Boo!

    Romney is stunned and unavailable for comment.

    /sarcasm off

    ReplyDelete
  37. Is it just me or does the MSM seem to be putting a lot of pressure on Obama to win tonight? I'm see a lot of articles about the expectations for him having gone way up and how he's all prepared and ready to really shine. Bad move, folks.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hmm, good point Andrew. I wasn't hearing it as pressure, more like wishful thinking, but it certainly turns into pressure. On the other hand, all of the "comeback kid" stories are already written, so unless Obama wets himself onstage, the media is going to run with them regardless.

    Also, I expect Romney to be charming and personable vs. a stiff and awkward Obama, but for the media to somehow witness the polar opposite.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The Candy Crowley: This is all about Me Rule has just been agreed to. What a shame. I hate the thought of this liberal pig getting to help B.O.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Joel, I would have been upset if Honey Boo Boo had endorsed Romney. Having her endorse Obama is a positive good for our side.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Bev, fortunately that was not on the list last time, or we would all be brain-dead right now. As a precaution, I'm leaving that off the list.

    What you DO drink on, however:

    -"47 percent"
    -Abortion/birth control/"War on Women"
    -Any mention of Nicki Minaj and/or Mariah Carey
    -Whenever Look-At-Me Crowley decides to reword someone's question
    -Citing of high-speed rail
    -And finally, use of the phrase "Let me be clear."

    As always, have the paramedics on speed dial.

    ReplyDelete
  42. So Hillary is taking the blame? For what? For being available for the 2AM phone call that Obama didn't get? For having the air of more (slightly) competence and thus should be the person to call? For acquiescing to our enemies? For aging 20 years in just 3? For those awful dance pictures?

    ReplyDelete
  43. Not surprised about the Honey Boo Boo endorsement. After watching that wretched show about this wretched family, I have concluded that this is Obama's base. I think this might actually be a win for Romney.

    ReplyDelete
  44. How about a drinking game where you drink for every one of Obama's uhhh "thoughtful" uhmm pauses?

    ReplyDelete
  45. Joel

    reading the Newsbuster article what was done to Honey Boo Boo was sad.

    Kimmel asks her if she knows who Romeny is and she says no. He asks her who the President is and she says Obama.

    He then tells her that Romeny is the guy who wanted Snooki's endorsemetn over hers (don't know where he get that from cause it does not sound like Romeny to justify that question with and answer but OK).

    Then he asks her who she likes and she says Obama.

    So evidently liberals like Kimmel can't even poll 7 year olds with out trying to fudge the results in their favor.

    Pathetic!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I don't think Hillary taking the blame matters. Prior to Benghazi the case against Obama's foreign policy was fairly abstract (there were problems, but not the sorts of problems that most people noticed or cared about) but after the murder of the ambassador...

    ReplyDelete
  47. Indi: "what was done to Honey Boo Boo was sad"
    I thought you were going to mention the exploitation of this odd child by her bizarre family, but , yeah, what Kimmel did was sad too.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Romney hit the 50% mark in a new Gallup poll
    Romney 50%
    Obama 46%
    This may be high, so tomorrow when it reversed tomorrow, Obama can claim a victory. Again, I am skeptomistic.

    Oh, and T-Rav
    I plan to flout your stinkin' rules. **hiccup**

    ReplyDelete
  49. "so tomorrow when it reversed tomorrow..."

    Bev, it sounds like you've already been flouting my rules.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Bev, just because you drink from a flute glass does not make you a floutist! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Hey, I like the word "tomorrow". It was my favorite as a child. ;)

    I like that! Floutist Noun 1. a person who flouts expertly; 2. a person who drink from a fluted glass; 3. a player of the flute;

    ReplyDelete
  52. Bev, you'll think about it tomorrow... at... Tara?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Bev, I hate to be nitpicky (no I don't) but one who plays the flute is a flautist. (Look at me, undermining my own puns.)But you can add "floutist" to the Commentarama-nary with the first two definitions. As in, when it comes to obeying the Constitution, our president is an expert floutist.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would like to add an addendum to the drinking rules,

    If Obama gets a "boxers or briefs" question, half the bottle must be drunk. If Obama answers it, the other half of the bottle must be drunk.

    Any one oppose it?

  71. LEAKED: The Secret Obama Debate Playbook

    Killer plan here.

    Intro: Shout-out of support to Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey
    Thanks to Madonna, but no thanks.
    First 20 Minutes: Warn women they will be forced
    to have back-alley abortions if Romney wins
    Next Half Hour: Mention how much Romney hates the 47 percent, women, and dogs, in that order

    If Successful: Thump chest, proclaim something about "not calling my bluff," etc.

    If Unsuccessful: Panic. Foam at the mouth, throw everything up to and including the kitchen sink at Romney, moderator, audience, etc.

    End with something wonderful-sounding about America.

  74. Candy Cane thinks she should correct a candidate if he answers about oranges and the question was about apples saying "would you like to try again" Here is an example how it might go for you Commentarama readers.

    Preselected Obama Campaign Staffer er Undecided Voter: President Obama do you love apples and similarly Mitt why do you hate apple groowers?

    Barack Obama: Well er uh ... Oranges are a great fruit and uh I love Oranges but if someone has more than 10 Oranges I think its uh only fair that I uh take five of these Oragnes and give it to those who really need them.

    Candy Cane: Great Job Mr. President

    Mitt Romney: I like apples especially Red Delicious apples that are grown right here in America in Washington State and I want more apple growing so that Americans can have jobs.

    Candy Cane: Well, Mr. Romney, you were asked about Apples and you only talked about one kind of apples. To use a well known metaphor its as if you were asked a question about apples and you decided to talk about oranges instead. Would you like to try your answer again?

    Mitt Romney: Mz. Crowley do you think we could talk about irony instead.

  82. CNN just said that Obama ate a big meal (steak and potatoes). It will be interesting to see how that works for him. I never ate before court because it diverted the blood from your brain and made you tired and lethargic.

  157. Patti,

    The difference here is that Romney interrupts intelligently. Biden only interrupts.

  158. Here's the new debate format:

    Audience member: asks question

    Mitt Romney: provides answer

    Barack Obama: claims Romney lied

    Candy Crowley: curls up in the corner
