Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
Everybody saw this coming.
The media handbook says “controversial” is the most negative description that can be used for a Republican.
Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.
The worst democrat is better than the best republican.
“What are Republicans afraid of?” Everything.
The low info voters probably won’t even notice or remember by their next lap around the goldfish bowl.
Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.
Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?
If you still can’t see these things even now, maybe politics isn’t your forte and you should stop writing about it.
I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.
Sadly, media malpractice has become standard practice.
Quote tweet friends, screenshot enemies.
All hail the time of the bunny!
It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.
Sometimes the world just tells you your cat is here.
They want us to be overwhelmed and exhausted. Focus. Resist. Oppose.
Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?
JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?
Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.
Only Democrats have agency, apparently.
And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.
How stupid are these people?
Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard
Give the craziest people you know everything they want and hope they don’t ask for more? Great plan.

“Obama killed” … Osama bin Laden, but not GM

Would have been nice if moderator knew a bit about foreign policy.

Pretty much says it all.

Might want to retitle this post. Not cool.

Yeah, I’m not sure “Obama killed” is the most well-thought-out headline, but I could be wrong.
Also, horses+bayonets!

David Brooks is talking about how it’s kind of a tie because they looked equally presidential. I’m assuming that means Mitt is still in a fetal position on the stage.
Speaking of fetal positions, damn, Cards.

Of all the days I should have called in sick…

Solid job by Obama. Romney couldn’t really tell us anything striking about why Obama’s foreign policies are wrong. In fact, Romney seemed to agree with most (although his alter-ego Mr. Severe Conservative would disagree with most).
Jack Canuck
Any bets on how long it is before P.O. turns up to announce that it was clearly a blowout for Romney and only FIFTEEN days etc etc?
Couldn’t watch it myself, but it sounds like a win for Obama overall, which is about the best to hope for. The media will spin it for the horserace, of course, but nothing to be done about that really.

Add “it” to the end of the title

Sorry, but I’m waiting to here what Dick Morris says.

@Robin G.:
I didn’t realize looking presidential could involve so much sweat and shininess.

I won’t be able to take Chuck Todd seriously until he loses the goatee and owns his receding hairline.

Not a good headline

@Robin G.: Please, Mitt was sweating like a whore in church by the end.

Love the media comments. Recognize that Romney’s positions were far more moderate than they are on the campaign trail and don’t seem to have a problem with that.

Schmidt is fucking insane.

Little Lord Russert tweet: “Strong Romney answer on Syria listing countries he’d work with”
There are no words. He is a man-worm slithering from crack to crack.

@Robin G.:

Seriously.
I can’t get too greedy w/ two championships since 2006, but scoring 1 run over the past 30+ innings. That’s just embarrassing.

@Jack Canuck: Wait for it…
Actually PO will say it’s not enough and the Willard surge continueth.

Romney basically said he would do everything the same as Obama except he would be awesomer. And anyone who remembers that he held completely different positions in the past must be mistaken. If this is a winning strategy, America is too dumb to continue as a going concern.

Yeah that thread title made me blink a few a times. Then I laughed.

Horses and Bayonets, baby. Horses and Bayonets.
This president does not suffer fools lightly…

Do NOT watch Fox. I wanted to see what the oppo says. Chris Wallace and some other hacks. Apparently Obama’s face was “rude” and so was his battleship line. Nice dog whistle there-really harping on the angry black man meme.
That said, CNN viewers seemed to favor Obama. ESPECIALLY the closing statements. Flatlines for Romney.
Laertes
That title literally made me feel sick when I saw it. What the fuck is wrong with you?
joes527
Every time Romney spoke … all he seemed to say was: I’ll do what he did, but to better effect!
Seriously. what did he offer other than Obama’s policy + the ol’ Romney charm to make it really-eally work this time?
lamh35
Ughh, can’t stand Steve Schidmt…I can see why he was okay with Sarah Palin as VP.
His whole analysis was BULLSHIT!!!
Shawn in ShowMe
The attempts by some members of the pundit class to maintain the horse race narrative seem lukewarm tonight. Only the revenge-minded Chuck Todd is enthusiastic about climbing Bullshit Mountain.

Don’t go saying that. Don’t go saying “Obama killed” because that means the Birthers are gonna come out tomorrow screaming “We’ve got an eyewitness to Obama committing a murder!” and we’ll never hear the end of it… AGAIN…
damn good mr. jam
The new SCLM meme: Obama won because he had to because he was losing.

@Cacti: After such a hard-fought series, I was hoping for something closer here at the end. Still, could be worse. Could be the Yankees.

@Robin G.: If we ever have a French-style revolution in this country, I pray to whatever gods there may be that the media village are the first to the guillotines.

@Mark B.: Seemed to work on the media.
