Of course, but that has nothing to do with whether or not there's a debate. Wink

Ha! So very true. It is the breakfast of champions after all.

CNN focus group slanted...Nearly all voted for Obama in 2008 per Erin Burnett.
Almost all in the focus group (like 90%) said the country was on the wrong track.  Chuck Todd and Charlie Cook have talked about how most undecideds are dissatisfied Obama 2008 voters. That's just who they are

Question 1:  How will college students get a job:  Romney's on top of his game.  Obama's coming out swinging - advantage: Slight Obama

Wow, Obama has cut down on the "uhs" and the halting speech in a big, big way. Good start.

Yes. It's a good sign. Presentation matters. The less 'uhs', the better.

I know Romney's not taking credit for the auto-bailout.

Not good response from Romney, IMO. Not bad one for Obama.

Obama is coming out swinging and the squigglers aren't liking it too well...  Follow up to Question 1:  Slight Romney.

Pre-summary of the duration of this thread: All the Republicans and Bushie invest everything in squiggly lines and give Romney the debate.

Why not 50/50 McCain and Obama?

I would say that since a majority of undecideds and independents in 2008 ultimately went for Obama,  a large majority of the undecideds and independents in 2012 are the same people. Therefore, a non-biased 2012 sampling would include more former Obama supporters than McCain supporters.

Obama is trying to sound like 2008 Obama. It doesn't work anymore. He has to find a new voice. Romney is losing it more than Obama is winning it so far.

Romney better not yell at Crowley again if he wants to win this thing.

The Detroit question was a wash.  No one really cares, but Romney lost points with that belligerent ending.
