I'd call this debate a wash. I hate that they admitted the questions from te. floor were staged. I am tired of liberal moderators too... Bob S c h I e f e r. is going to moderate Mondays debate. He's another CBS liberal. He's 1of Dan Rather s guys. Rather have a different moderator, but I do think that guy will be less obvious in his leaning.

I don't like that all the moderators have been liberal leaning either. It seems that the democrats would never allow someone like Rush Limbaugh to moderate. I can't say I blame them he's not exactly neutral either. But he is no less neutral that the moderators that have headed the debates so far.
Someone a little more neutral than what we have already seen is out there and should have been asked to lead the next debate. A good moderator is unnoticed mostly by the viewers. That's like a sports referee they should avoid getting involved in the debate and just let the candidates do their thing.

I can't get over the amount of people that think Obama is a good choice. I didn't think it was a good choice 4or years ago, But none of the things that he said he would improveove improved. The Ronald Reagan saying are you better off than you were 4 years ago? I think most of us are not.

The final Debate is Monday. I agree and even the Liberal leaning Media admits that Candy Crowley was something less than impartial the in the Second Debate.

Less than impartial? That's a good professional way to put itAnd I realized it they all have their favorite. Well when you're a media person or an arbitrator of any kind I judge whatever the case might be you are supposed to try to be impartial. If a football referees in New England Patriots fan, Any calls incomplete against the Steelers just cause for the Patriots what is that?
It would be okay for him to be a Patriots fan. It would've had a better football fan always life before Becoming a referee. So he has a favorite team, But when your on the job you gotta call plays as they happen. And that's what is the bait moderator is Expected to do too.

According to election maps. This is going to be as close as the 2000election. The battleground states seem to be Virginia, Ohio,Colorado, Iowa, and New Hampshire. Although Pennsylvania is considered battleground I don't believe it

Living here I have a pretty good sense that the state will go Obama. But my county will go Romney. Bradford is in Mckean County.

I am your neighbor to the North that goes Democrat except for the two Reagan elections. But this state goes Democrat if nothing else the Big Apple makes it so we almost don't get any other voice. Downstate goes Democrat even though the majority of the counties have a slight Republican majority. New York city has more population that the rest of the state total and can't be over ridden.
I think this.
If everybody in this country ran a business like mine and did so for a year under Obama and a Year under any other President even a Democrat other than Obama. Each person in the country had to run such a business therefore making the decisions and dealing with the tax base payroll and otherwise that only an owner or CEO really deals with I would bet that Obama would not get 500 votes other than those who will only vote for the Democrat no matter who he is.
I really think so.

It's an interesting comment I would know exactly but that sounds pretty close to how I feel

If the polls are accurate this maybe a very very close election. I think everyone knows I am not voting for Obama.

For all the recounts and recounts that happened in Florida, there may be three of four states that close this year.

I cast my vote I hope everyone else did too. Whether the person who voted for wins or not, I think you still have more right to complain if you actually cast a vote. A lot of people complain who dont vote at all.

A lot of people complain who dont vote at all. I am with you on this one. I hate listening to those who take no stand but talk like they know the answers. |

A Youtube friend of mine called Drinkingwithbob posted a funny video not so funny but more good analogies. He said that 50% of the country bet the next 4 years on a 3 legged horse, also that those who are excited are the same as being happy that the San Diego Chargers signed Ryan Leaf back to a contract, parents being excited about their kid repeating 3rd grade and being a future guest on Anderson Cooper show or getting an XFL jersey for Christmas.

I didn't want to make a whole new thread. But this is something I read the other day. That Since World War 2 Obama has used executive order more than all of the other Presidents combined. I do not have certainty that this is true but if it is its very bothersome. Ok, Franklin Roosevelt was President during a World War perhaps the biggest war in history so use of executive order may have been more necessary on his watch for that reason. Fine!
Since then we have had Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush, Bill Clinton and George Bush II. Making Obama's use of executive order in 4 years more than 11 Presidents over about 65 years. If that's true its scary. I will investigate to see if it is true. That's what I read though.
