US Presidential Debate In-Game-Thread

[4seasons]

Nate Silver from FiveThirtyEight.com - "no candidate who trailed by as much he did heading

into the first debate went on to win the election"


"there has not been any tendency for the challenger to gain over the remaining weeks

of the election. On average during these years, the challenging candidate trailed by 1.5

percentage points in polls conducted just after the first debate — and the challenger eventually

lost the election, on average, by 1.4 percentage points, a nearly identical margin"

If trends meant anything, we'd all be rich.

To me, Obama's demeanor reminded me of Robert Di Niro as Al Capone in the Untouchables, during the trial at the end when even though he's drop dead guilty, he could care less because he bribed the jury. Obama seems to me like he believes the election is a lock, because it's being rigged, and he can just yawn his way through the prosecution/debates. They are both from Chicago. Obama really wasn't at all concerned, as Romney was hammering the nails into his Presidential coffin.

Video summary for those that missed the debate.

[Dark Horse]

They're both fake. Both owned by the same demonic puppet masters.

I don't agree with violating the constitution, but isn't that what Bush and the Republicans did years ago ?

If it is does that make it okay?

Yo, I missed the fukkin debate last night.

Watched the Yankees then fell asleep.

Someone give me an honest and objective opinion please.

Who won the debate?

[GUMMO77]

I'm an Obama guy, but Mitt clearly won this debate.

Obama seemed disconnected while Mitt was on top of his game.

Mitt needed to win this debate, while Obama could afford the loss.

Wow! An Obama guy admitting his man lost the debate!

Holy shit, I gotta watch a replay of it now.

Maybe next week though, too many games this week and weekend to concentrate on fukkin politics.

Slight lean to Romney on substance

Mittens in a Slam-Dunk on style

You wanted honest.

[PhillyFlyers]

You wanted honest.

And I do appreciate it. Don't think for a second that I don't.

[Albert Pujols]

Obama destroying Romney. What the hell are some of you guys watching?

LMAO. Yeah, the odds went from +350 to +250 instantly because Obama destroyed Romney. Can't make this shit up.

[Shafted69]

I couldn't believe the shit coming out of Romney's mouth. Trying to debate Romney is like trying to

debate Sybil, which one will show up today?
