I actually think Romney had a surprisingly strong finish. Even if it is laughable.

I find the godliness thing laughable. Any member of the Religious Right worth their theological salt would realize that Mormonism is, by their standards, heresy.
They're ignoring that until the possibility of President Romney is out the window.

Crowley just could not control those two, though she was really giving it her best shot.  I think R. Lee Ermey should moderate debates like these from now on.

Actually pretty brilliant - It means Romney can't even pretend to cover his ass about it, and that's the lingering memory people were left with.

Romney's finishing statement was his strongest moment of the night, and it still feels like Obama blew him away.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I woulda campaigned for Huntsman/Colbert, honestly.

Dunno if that'd qualify as major, though.

Clean coal is always just a few years away.
Oh, clean coal. We get that in Alberta, too.

Anthracite coal and (perhaps) coal gasification.

Speaking on clean energy megaprojects, as has been said before, it need not be 100% solar. Here in Tennessee, for example, with the TVA (set up for a similar project, no less), we have a good amount of hydroelectric power, some solar, some wind, a fair bit of semi-clean (I say semi-clean because of the eventual radioactive waste, but it's still nowhere near as bad as a coal plant) nuclear, and, unfortunately, a good amount of coal. We also have some of the cheapest electricity in the US because of it (Correct me if I'm wrong). Now, while Hydroelectric is situational, since it requires a river, solar, wind,  and nuclear, particularly the last, do not have such extreme considerations (Though the first two do still have considerations).

Dude, I would have quit my job and gone on tour as a roadie for Huntsman/Colbert.

The only other "viable" candidates were the Pokemon and Simcity-obsessed pizza guy, the philanderer name after an amphibian with a messianic complex, the guy named after anal secretions, and the chick who is apparently channeling the spirit of a gay serial killer. Oh and Ron Paul.
