It's time to get this show on the road. Smiley

I'm watching it on the only channel I watch for political news - CNN.

Word of advice to Mitt:  If you play with fire, sooner or later you will get burned.

~25 minutes left.  Romney's doing well.

Will it matter?  A little, but not enough.

Obama can't wait for 8:30 to arrive - (local time in Denver).

All in all, this is a poor performance by Obama.  Mitt's winning this debate entering the homestretch.

I know what the problem is: Obama wants to be home with Michelle celebrating their anniversary.  His mind is on his anni, not on the debate...
