If he blames enough Democrats, he may find himself hanging out in the wind during the second debate. Why did he choose the Kerry dunderhead anyway? Do any of these Dems really want to besmirch what is left of their reputations (not much, if anything) on this looser? |

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/03/transcript-first-presidential-debate/ Debate Transcript Obama: "...Now, we all know that we've got to do more. And so I've put forward a specific $4 trillion deficit reduction plan. It's on a website. You can look at all the numbers, what cuts we make and what revenue we raise. And the way we do it is $2.50 for every cut, we ask for $1 of additional revenue, paid for, as I indicated earlier, by asking those of us who have done very well in this country to contribute a little bit more to reduce the deficit. |

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/10/04/Tax-Policy-Center-Romney-s-Tax-Math-Does-Add-Up-Under-Different-Assumptions Tax Policy Center: Romney's Tax Math Does Add Up Under Different Assumptions During the debate Wednesday night, President Obama repeatedly claimed Governor Romney's tax plan arithmetic did not add up. But Wednesday, the author of the study Obama relied on admitted Romney's plan could add up using different assumptions. William G. Gale of the Tax Policy Center is one of the authors of a study which claims Romney's math does not add up. TPC's study claims the Romney plan would shift $86 billion in taxes from the well-off to the middle class. However, this claim relies on certain assumptions, most importantly that cutting tax rates will result in zero additional growth. However, if scored dynamically, "economic growth could fill $53 billion of that $86 billion hole." That still leaves a gap, but if Romney's plan were also to eliminate exemptions on state and local bonds and life insurance policies, that could raise an additional $45 billion. In other words, it is possible that Romney's plan could actually lower top rates and, by eliminating exemptions and prompting new growth, raise more revenue. It's significant not just that the math can work but that the author of the study claiming it did not is now admitting, "Under those assumptions and policies it would be revenue neutral." Will Team Obama acknowledge the admission that the math can add up, or will we continue to hear the same objection to Romney's tax plan as if it hadn't happened? |

This is a very small point but I happened to see a rebroadcast of the Palin-Biden vice presidential debate in 2008. That debate had what looked like the same background as the presidential debate between Romney and Obama. The backdrop looked like it showed the words of the Dec. of Independence, not the Constitution as I had written on a previous post. |

Back to my post the evening of the debate, when I was worried Mitt would drift off course and respond to Barry's 'off course' answer, this column hits on that exchange and more quite well: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/oct/5/obamas-debate-run-in-with-inconvenient-truths/?page=all#pagebreak |

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/07/romney-to-deliver-foreign-policy-speech-amid-big-questions-about-libya-global/ Romney to deliver foreign policy speech amid big questions on Libya, global economy Barry paved the way for what I'd call the no-fail speech by Mitt. What could Barry complainabout on any speech Mitt gives regarding foreign policy? Edited by kbp, Oct 7 2012, 04:25 PM.

Also from that article (OT): "...Romney has also drawn criticism for calling Russia — not Iran or China for example — America’s primary global adversary." Russia is our primary adversary. Edited by kbp, Oct 7 2012, 04:31 PM.

Ohio’s early absentee ballot requests and cleaned-up voter rolls point to Romney blowout ....In 2008, there were 1,158,301 total absentee ballots requested: 33 percent were requested by registered Democrats and 19 percent were requested by registered Republicans — a 14-point gap. So far in 2012, only 638,997 ballots have been requested, 29 percent by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans — only a five-point gap. The Republicans have shrunk the gap nine percent overall since 2008, but the numbers are even more dramatic in Ohio’s key counties: Champaign County: Was +3% GOP, now +23% GOP – 20-point shift Columbiana County: Was +9% DEM, now +9% GOP – 18-point shift Crawford County: Was +3% DEM, now +12% GOP – 15-point shift Cuyahoga County: Was +36% DEM, now +30% DEM – 6-point shift Erie County: Was +24% DEM, now +7% DEM – 17-point shift Franklin County: Was +5% DEM, now +5% GOP – 10-point shift Greene County: Was +4% DEM, now +19% GOP – 23-point shift Harrison County: Was +22% DEM, now +5% DEM – 17-point shift Hamilton County: Was +7% GOP, now +13% GOP – 6-point shift Licking County: Was TIED, now +16% GOP – 16-point shift Montgomery County: Was +29% DEM, now +5% DEM – 24-point shift Muskingum County: Was +1% DEM, now +16% GOP – 17-point shift Pickaway County: Was +12% DEM, now +15% GOP – 27-point shift Seneca County: Was +1% DEM, now +13% GOP – 14-point shift Summit County: Was +33% DEM, now +6 DEM – 27-point shift Wood County: Was +10% DEM, now +1% GOP – 11-point shift The five largest counties in the Buckeye State have all shifted toward the GOP by at least six percent (and as much as 27 percent) since 2008. While the polls show Obama ahead in Ohio, these ballot request numbers suggest that Mitt Romney is in a much better position there today than John McCain was four years ago. snip Read more: http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/05/ohios-early-absentee-ballot-requests-and-cleaned-up-voter-rolls-point-to-romney-blowout/#ixzz28fFqsre6 |

Joe Bastardi @BigJoeBastardi Next debate Romney should allow POTUS to have Snoop, Will I-Am and Madonna to help him out. He will be more comfortable |

. Who is the moderator or moderators in the next debate? The Easiest thing to do put things right (in liberal minds) is to give Obama the questions beforehand. That's where my mind is going anyway... . |

I'm not even sure that it could help if Barry wrote the questions. |
