The Official 3rd Presidential Debate Thread

[Spanish Moss]

I know what the first question will be.

"America prides itself on being a leader of the world, how can we call ourselves leaders, when we faked the Moon Landing? " John Wang, Undecided Voter (FL)

Hahahahaha very nice.

Intrade thinks Obama will win the post-debate CNN Poll:

Barack Obama to win the third Presidential debate (according to CNN poll)

67.0%
CHANCE

Mitt Romney to win the third Presidential debate (according to CNN poll)

34.4%
CHANCE

Considering those who are paid to predict the outcome of a sporting event are right less than 50% of the time (meaning a quarter could do their job better), I find any predictions in terms of a debate highly suspect.  I have no expectations, although after Big Bird and binders full of women, I'm hoping for something meme-able up through Nov 6.

Every time they talk to an undecided voter in this pre-debate chatter I facepalm.  Seriously, the fact that these people haven't picked someone by NOW and are actually voting scares me.

Romney looks presidential. Obama looks like a politician.

They look the same to me.

Every time Obama talks it goes up.  Romney, at times, and not as high.

Not so many horses though - they have to be bred and fed, which costs more.

Well it would be a future investment in the glue industry.

"OK Mitt, one more try: we have fewer catapults and barrels of boiling oil than we had in the crusades." - Bill Maher

Who spent more time attacking his opponent?
Obama: 68%
Romney: 21%

Well, it is a debate, and Romney does take two stances on most issues.  So when people try and play this off like a bad think, it's absurd.

This is the kind of stuff that is very painful for Romney right now:


"@glennbeck
I am glad to know that mitt agrees with Obama so much. No, really. Why vote?"

The thing is, these people will still vote for him.  A vote for Romney with enthusiasm or one while holding your nose is still a vote for Romney.  In no way do I see voters suddenly turning to Virgil Goode or not voting at all because of this.
