Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

A democracy can’t function when people can’t distinguish facts from lies.

If you’re pissed about Biden’s speech, he was talking about you.

We still have time to mess this up!

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Our job is not to persuade republicans but to defeat them.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

Tick tock motherfuckers!

Good lord, these people are nuts.

We’ve had enough carrots to last a lifetime. break out the sticks.

Black Jesus loves a paper trail.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

So it was an October Surprise A Day, like an Advent calendar but for crime.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

And now I have baud making fun of me. this day can’t get worse.

All your base are belong to Tunch.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

“More of this”, i said to the dog.

“Everybody’s entitled to be an idiot.”

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

I’d hate to be the candidate who lost to this guy.

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

    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.

    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).

    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.

    I didn’t realize looking presidential could involve so much sweat and shininess.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    Ughh, can’t stand Steve Schidmt…I can see why he was okay with Sarah Palin as VP.

    His whole analysis was BULLSHIT!!!

    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…

    @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.
