Mitt Romney Wins Debate
You expect a candidate’s partisans to put the best spin on his performance — but don’t take Republicans’ word for it. Look at what the Democrats are saying.
James Carville says Romney “came in with a chainsaw”:
Al Gore hilariously tried to blame Obama’s poor performance on the altitude:
Obama arrived in Denver at 2pm today. Just a few hours before the debate started. Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5000 feet and you only have a few hours to adjust, I don’t know . . .
Hahahahahahahaha. (H/t Icy.)
Finally, we have the Democrats at the L.A. Times, who tried their best to spin it, but ultimately couldn’t:
See that? Romney worked on his “empathy problem.” He’s shifting positions again, even if we acknowledge he performed well. Also: so what if he won? So did John Kerry! Nyah nyah nyah! And hey! Look at this goofy picture of Romney!!!
And last night, one of their instant reactions was: “Romney loves Big Bird, will kill funding for him anyway.”
If that’s the best they can do, Romney won. Period.
Obama was the empty chair that Eastwood brought on stage.
But Romney didn’t win because Obama was bad; Romney won because Romney was good. He got to the point fast, which made him able to make several points each round — as well as rebut whatever Obama (slowly and methodically) said.
Kman (5576bf) — 10/4/2012 @ 7:47 amThere they were, with their “Dewey beats Truman” evaluations of the debate pre-written all qued up. Just dying to use them. And if only had been close, they would have.
Barack “Come-back kid” Obama digs deep, pulls out the clutch win.
Mix and match. Somewhere in there is the headline they were aching to use.
If it were only close, they could have lied about it.

See what I mean?
Steve57 (c8ac21) — 10/4/2012 @ 8:21 amFor the most part I thought Romney did what he needed to do, which was just present the facts in an forceful, understandable way.
I thought he should have mentioned that household income has fallen sharply and is continuing to fall. He has to demolish this narrative they effectively promoted at the DNC that things are improving. He did mention some things like slowing growth but he needs to hit harder on that.
Gerald A (f26857) — 10/4/2012 @ 8:39 amActually, as usual Gore is not up on the most current research. At least as far as athletes are concerned, there is a growing opinion that you are best off staying at low altitude as long as possible, then only traveling to the high altitude competition at the last possible moment.
JVW (f5695c) — 10/4/2012 @ 8:43 amIf Obama loses this reelection it will be because of last night’s poor performance. Romney showed himself the superior debater and assailed the president even on his own territory. I think I will sleep well at night if Romney wins this election. America needs men like him now.
The Emperor (03864d) — 10/4/2012 @ 8:43 amIf Obama loses this reelection it will be because of last night’s poor performance.
It will be because of his disastrous performance the last 4 years.
JD (ab8eee) — 10/4/2012 @ 8:57 amPresident Obama had a rubber-stamp Congress for two years and barely managed to get them to pass the Democrat Holy Grail of healthcare.
Not exactly LBJ. Why would we expect him to succeed at anything difficult?
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 10/4/2012 @ 9:06 amAs someone else pointed out yesterday, it is instructive to remember that Biden was brought on in 2008 to give the Obama ticket some gravitas.
Kevin M (bf8ad7) — 10/4/2012 @ 9:08 amRomney won last nights debate because of his good performance and Obama’s poor performance over the last four years. It’s tough to put on a good show in a debate when you have a crappy record to defend. There is a reason the campaign and its surrogates in the media have tried to deflect attention away from Obama’s performance in office to attacks on Romney’s character, his gaffes, Ann’s horse, Romney’s videos, haircuts, Bain, Romney’s taxes, Romney’s jumping the gun on statements about the Middle East. It’s all to avoid talking about Obama’s record. There was no filter or distraction last night, although Obama kept trying to move to soft areas such as education where the candidates could mostly focus on platitudes and ideas rather than metrics.

Although I do think that the image of Barack Obama lying low so that Hillary! can act as his lightning rod is an apt metaphor for our foreign policy to date.
That was the Clinton you were talking about, right?
Steve57 (c8ac21) — 10/4/2012 @ 9:58 amSteve57, was talking about Bill. He helped him out during the convention. Wondering if the law allows him to take the next debate for Obama. I kid…

Have you guys ever watched a sporting event where one team was alleged to be demonstrably superior to it’s opponent, yet the supposedly inferior team ends up trouncing the favorite? You ever been with a fan of the favorite team who despite having just watched them under-perform badly and lose to a team who played with more discipline, passion, and desire, turns to you after the game ends and says something like, “the referees screwed us out of that one”? That, in a nutshell, is Tillman.
JVW (f5695c) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:06 amP. Tillman’s talking point, straight from the President’s lips in a just-completed speech, is that Romney won because he lied.
And by that unassailable piece of logic, Obama lost because he didn’t lie enough.
Of course, after the fact-check results come in a different excuse will magically present itself.

Republicans/Romney/Ryan in a nutshell.
And Neal Rauhauser is a Democrat/liberal in a nutshell.
^ That ain’t no conservative talking. That’s a disgusting liberal who’s bothered by a “little creep” that has merely cast a spotlight on the dishonest, corrupt aspects of groups like ACORN, and, in turn, who’s offended that a leftwing politician, guilty of weirdness that forced his hand and made him leave office, was simply exposed (pardon the double entendre) for what he really is.
The worst thing about such liberals is they undoubtedly think they’re such compassionate, heartfelt, generous, humane, caring, populist souls. That they’re “progressives” fighting the good fight, fighting against the flip side of the traits they believe they’re imbued with. But, in reality, the traits they associate with their philosophical opposites are really what they themselves are all about.

I just heard an audio clip of the one with today’s spin. In one way I guess it is brilliant because it is a worthwhile attempt to make him look good when there is no good reason for him to look good.
One specific claim the one made today was that “Romney needs to get a new accountant if he doesn’t know about tax breaks for taking jobs overseas”, followed by, “But it looks like he’s been doing pretty well with the accountant he has, so he must just be lying.” [Note, not exact quotes, but I think a fair simulation].
No specific references to back up this claim, just repeating it a couple of times.
The Emperor has no clothes, when will it become obvious? Will the one ever catch on and become embarrassed like in the fairytale, or will he end up like Capt. Queeg on the witness stand?
Lest anyone have any doubt, Tillman has demonstrated a complete inability to make a rational point, whether this is because of dishonesty or inability to think for him/her self I do not know, but it matters not in the deserved treatment of comments. This assessment is deemed final until new information is presented showing otherwise.
The book The Last Battle by Lewis, the last in the Narnia series, is a very good narrative that demonstrates the power and potential effectiveness of such covert dishonesty when it is allowed to control the narrative.

While it’s good to see them attempting a neutrality with regard to the candidates, this makes it a bit suspect (although still good to see),
Dana (292dcf) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:45 amI must say Obama has one saving grace going for him if he decided to stop doubling down on dishonesty-
anyone looking at the picture of him and his wife after the event knows that he did not go home with a supportive spouse, and about everybody, male or female, can sympathize with that. Ouch!!
MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:46 amTrue.
Because if the chair wins, great.
If the chair loses, Axelrod can go on the talk show circuit and say, “big deal, Romney beat the crap out of an empty chair.”
If you paint the chair black, Chris Matthews can have multiple orgasms over Romney’s appeals to racism.
Leaving Barack Obama plenty of time to appear on “Letterman” and “The View.”

Rush is discussing the anger component in the reaction of many of the one’s supporters- “We weren’t in the tank for you just to be embarrassed like this!”
MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:48 amAgain, not that it is anything new for this crowd, but for some the issue is playing politics in order to win an election and have power, and nothing to do with the conviction that one has better ideas to govern the country that are to be argued in the light of day.
It is theoretically possible that Romney is a cynical SOB that simply does a much better acting job, but the obvious evidence points to Obama interested in winning an election with propaganda and obfuscation and painfully lacking when details and facts show up.
MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:53 amHeh. It’s nice to see the well oiled machine grind to a confused slow-down…however, this only guarantees that from here on out, Obama’s camp is going to get nasty, mean, and take no prisoners. And in order to do this, he’ll need to assuage the betrayed feelings of the MSM. It’ll take some work, but fear not, they will get back in bed with him because they have no shame and care not about truth, but instead care more about their wounded reputations (such as they are).
Dana (292dcf) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:54 am“Shift to center”?
From left of center? Well I’d say he accomplished that with his VP pick. Last night the States Rights validation of the choice, speaking to the 10th amendment, that education is a State and Local expertise and responsibility, that free enterprise better instantiates most solutions Americans demand than government, that individuals best know how to meet their individual needs, …
He moved to the Right with a conclusion returning to a constitutional focus of any way forward in policy.
Speaking as one of the majority of Independents, those to the right of the GOP median, he swept up a number of undecideds, more than still remain.
gary gulrud (dd7d4e) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:55 amRelax, doc. In the wake of the sacking or our Libyan embassy and the assassination of our diplomatic staff, the President wants you to know he won’t rest until he finds the culprits who stole the strawberries.
You know, it’s a serious crime when strawberries go missing from the officers’s mess. Why, when Obama gets his hands on those miscreants who stole the strawberries…
Steve57 (c8ac21) — 10/4/2012 @ 10:57 am# 4 — That was exactly my reaction. After I fell out of my chair with laughter.

Kos wouldn’t work for me but I saw there were headings indicating that Obama won and Romney will have lost regardless because he is a liar and the fact checkers will show it. Spent all of 15 seconds at the LGF cesspool where the bad charles johnson essentially asked how could Romney win when all he had were lies. And so Romney even accuses his own sons of telling lies to him.
Calypso Louis Farrakhan (e799d8) — 10/4/2012 @ 11:11 amNo idea what drivel DU, CodePink, Moron.org and other fever swamps are saying but fatboy Mikey Moore was unkind in his tweets about Romney and fat man/bear/pig blames the mile high altitude for O’s performance. Seems Romney had an unfair advantage because he was acclimated longer.
So Chrissy Matthews had a meltdown and his bowels let loose, while Sharpton thinks Romney should be arrested for his lies.
In any case, I will have to see the VP debate. I gather Ryan is nimble enough to get around any moderator nonsense. Read somewhere libs upset with Candy Crowley and want her replaced. I assume she’s moderating at some point.
I have a friend collecting a fat paycheck doing PR work for Lynn U. where the late October debate will be. Wonder if she still drools over Obama.
Anyway it does appear the word out is Romney lied. My take is that Obama has lied his whole life.
Ever been to Park City, Utah? It’s gorgeous.
I once had to cut short a trip there due to the Gulf War or some such breaking out. Big Navy can’t get along without me under those circumstances.
The Mormons working the hotel desk were freakishly nice. They said if I needed to fly they’d take care of my car for as long as I was gone. I believed them. Even now, 20 plus years later, I’m convinced I could walk back into that hotel and they’d hand me the keys to a nicely detailed, well maintained 5.0 Mustang convertible.

Meanwhile, a gas station in Calabasas (CA) is charging $5.69 for a gallon.
BTW, that pricing apparently is unique to uber-blue California at the moment, since fires or maintenance problems at oil refineries in the state (most of them old, and newer versions of them having not been built in decades) are upsetting the supply-and-demand equation for motorists in the West. The core of that is born out of the same CO2-is-pollution, environmentalism-is-our-religion mindset that is fostering the shuttering of coal mines — and the energy they provide — on the East Coast, thanks largely to wonderful liberals like Barry Obama.

Steve57 (c8ac21) — 10/4/2012 @ 12:26 pm“And by that unassailable piece of logic, Obama lost because he didn’t lie enough.”
No, the consensus even among the chattering class whose opinions you now (magically!) support are in agreement that he “lost” because he didn’t POINT OUT Romney’s lies.
Which should be easy to do. Romney has contradicted himself so many times that even his own campaign has already “corrected” many of his lies last night, such as the coverage for pre-existing conditions, the $7billion medicare “cut” (that both budgets include), cutting taxes for the rich, etc etc.
I think Obama may have simply been stunned at the level and forcefullness of Romney’s mendacity.

I believe I can document the fact I brought this up at least as far back as when I observed the diplomatic note he sent to the Iranians begging them to make him look good with which he shamed the nation might as well have been written by a 12 year old girl trying to get back with her jock boyfriend.

Steve57 (c8ac21) — 10/4/2012 @ 1:28 pmEver seen one of those know-it-all, know-nothing sportscasters bloviate on and on? Sure you have. Now imagine if the same guy were thrown into a real game and had to actually play qb against a real opponent for the first time. That was the debate I saw.
This was huge. This was, in effect, Romney’s first impression to the undecideds and he nailed it. They are looking for a reason to dump Obama and all they need to know is that the replacement is worth a try and that’s exactly what they saw.
Subsequent debates will not dispel that impression. Romney may win a debating point here, or lose one there, but the undecideds can see that he’s not at all as the media has portrayed him; he’s worth a try.
Coupled with the real polling – i.e. w/out the Dem skew of +10 points or whatever that’s been baked in lately – plus the preference cascade effect, this election is now Romney’s to lose, and he doesn’t look like he will. Don’t get cocky, kid, but don’t get down, either. Good debate.

MD in Philly (3d3f72) — 10/4/2012 @ 4:51 pmVia PowerLine:
Romney had delivered “a very vigorous performance but one that was devoid of honesty”,
Axelrod said.
“And so today, as the day after, I think the question for you [the media], for the American people is really one of character and whether or not a candidacy that’s so fundamentally rooted in hiding the truth and the facts from the American people and deception is the basis of trust on which you assign the presidency to a person. …
“Because we need an an honest and a genuine and realistic plan to move forward and not a bunch of lines designed to get you through a debate.”
Maybe a new term should be coined, “Axelrodding”- to distort the truth where no distortion has taken it before.

Even so, while creating false consensus may be bad enough, the full scale wanton dishonesty as displayed in the above quote requires its own claim to dishonor.
Truth is stranger than fiction. Who would believe that the United States is being led (for now anyway) by people who have glorified Lucifer, the father of lies, as their “Patron Saint” of radicalism? The Audacity of Radicalism.

Obama….And he can’t crow about killing Bin Laden, or else Romney will remind him that’s not allowed in our nation any longer! It will upset the crocodile.
Obama actually crowed about Bin Laden (going after him, not specifically putting an end to his career) in the first debate.
Foreign policy actually came up in passing more than once or twice, but Jim Lehrer really wanted to avoid that and I think he must have talked to them about it.
Notice here:
LEHRER: Excuse me. Excuse me. Just so everybody understands, we’re way over our first 15 minutes.
ROMNEY: It’s fun, isn’t it?
LEHRER: It’s OK, it’s great. No problem. Well, you all don’t have — you don’t have a problem, I don’t have a problem, because we’re still on the economy…..
So the important point to Jim Lehrer was not to get off the subject of domestic policy, like happened in previous Presidential debates .

I think stupid is far too nice a description. “Stupid” is a lack of information, an inability to think with reason. Scoundrels who live on deceit may be foolish, but they are wicked, not stupid.
Pardon me, SPQR, I’m not trying to pick an argument with you, we’re just both grasping at trying to describe vile behavior. Trying to carry water for dishonest, despicable, deceitful people is a terrible thing to do. May Tillman and those like him have their consciences awakened before it is too late. Those who love to do Lucifer’s bidding will get to share in his fate unless they come to their moral senses.

Elephant Stone (65d289) — 10/4/2012 @ 6:49 pmHere is where Barack Obama crowed about bin Laden in the first debate:
Jim Lehrer had asked a question about partisan gridlock and what each candidate would do as President about the legislative paralysis resulting from it.
This was near the end – he got in one last question (he had evidently planned to ask more but each question had used up more time than originally allotted)
After Romney spoke, Barack Obama was speaking:
…But, look, my philosophy has been, I will take ideas from anybody,
He always says that. A big complaint of Paul Ryan is that that’s simply not true.
Democrat or Republican, as long as they’re advancing the cause of making middle-class families stronger and giving ladders of opportunity to the middle class.
The cause of making middle class families stronger is a new thing for Barack Obama.
That’s how we cut taxes for middle- class families and small businesses. That’s how we cut a trillion dollars of spending that wasn’t advancing that cause. That’s how we signed three trade deals into law that are helping us to double our exports and sell more American products around the world. That’s how we repealed “don’t ask/don’t tell.”
That’s how? What’s “that?” Taking ideas from anyone is “that”? That was a Republican idea? Wasn’t that a very, very, left wing idea? It certainly wasn’t any compromise with Republicans. And does this have something to do with “making middle-class families stronger” Maybe a ladder of opportunity, maybe you could say. The opposition to repealing that was based on the idea it would hurt recruitment into the military.
That’s how we ended the war in Iraq, as I promised,
The surge was a Republican idea, but he came in afterwards. What he did was duplicate that in Afghanistan and appoint General David Petraeus to take personal charge in Afghanistan – a man whom Democrats had previously, some years before, expressed strong opposition to appointing to take charge in Iraq. But the way the war in Iraq ended was very heavily criticized. There’s no status of forces agreement and Iraq is now becoming an Iranian Finland. Or worse.
and that’s how we’re going to wind down the war in Afghanistan. That’s how we went after Al Qaida and bin Laden.
What’s going on here? He’s segued into a list of “achievements.”
What does this have to do with taking ideas from anyone??
It has nothing to do with avoiding legislative paralysis.

He’s gotten away with voting “present” and having the opposition intimidated into silence and the wheels of propaganda covering for him. He doesn’t have game. He has nothing but pompous self-aggrandizing attacks on straw men, and when he actually has to debate with an opponent who thinks and has conviction, he has nothing.
He’s like a bully who was finally faced-up to, who is telling lies the next morning on the playground before the truth gets out.
Hinderaker found something to admire about Obama, “he’s consistent”, never took responsibility for anything before in his life, not about to change now:

Trying to carry water for dishonest, despicable, deceitful people is a terrible thing to do. May Tillman and those like him have their consciences awakened before it is too late.
I don’t think leftists like Tillman will ever awaken from their ideological slumber. They’re too caught up in the notion that they — unlike other folks and certainly their political opposites — are fighting the good fight for compassion, humanity, populist ideals, and brotherly love. And so if the ends justify the means, that’s perfectly fine.
If a strategy that requires one lie through his teeth helps enhance the liberal cause, then so be it. Or if a tactic that claims that plain truths are lies, and lies are plain truths, is useful in advancing the cause, then that’s fine and wonderful too.
Generally, the most blatant, brazen lies emanate from the left — from politicians of the left — far more than dishonesty comes from the right. Part of that is because liberal biases seem to make people less ashamed of their shortcomings, more tolerant of unethical behavior in themselves and others—at least if they’re also on the left.
That’s why when people who align themselves with the party of Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, and trial lawyers and Solyndra hucksters — and Barack “Youtube-video-caused-Libya-tragedy” Obama — accuse others of dishonesty, that deserves the biggest, loudest guffaw imaginable.

(while everyone wanted the war in Iraq to end, a lot did not want it to end the way it did and there is a lot of opposition to setting a date for ending the presence of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan.)

Lost the link but a superpac supporting Ogabe has pulled ads in FL and WI to devote resources to ‘tighter’ contests, e.g., NV.
I smell panic.
Florida, at 29 Electoral votes, is the biggest swing state, and is considered virtually a must-win for Romney. Not so much for Obama.
Wisconsin has 10 Electoral votes, is historically very close is close elections, but has been won by Democrats in 2000 and 2004, and is considered almost a bonus state for Romney, that, together with New Hampshire (4) and Iowa (6) could make up for the loss of Ohio (18) or Virginia (13).
Nevada has only 6 Electoral votes. Obama strategy for benefitting from the Hispanic vote has been hinging on trying to carry New Mexico (5) likely, Colorado (9) and Nevada (6) for a total of 20.
New Mexico was carried by Gore in the year 2000, but not 2004. The other two went for Bush both years. Iowa was the only other state besides New Mexico to switch from Gore to Bush – New Hampshire flipped the other way between 2000 and 2004, and all other states stayed the same.
Bush carrying New Hampshire in 2000 may be said to have made him President. Bush carrying Florida would not have helped him in 2000, had he not also carried New Hampshire that year, with its prize of 4 Electoral votes. (the only place northeast of Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia that he carried.)
If this means anything, it is that polls are now showing a greater possibility that Obama will lose Colorado, so the place to make gains is Nevada, with Harry Reid’s machine.
