Someone remind me how you guys got stuck with this simpering douchebag as a legitimate candidate?

Pretty much every other major contender was worse?

I woulda campaigned for Huntsman/Colbert, honestly.

Dunno if that'd qualify as major, though.

huntsman would have made a better second choice than romney at the very least.

and I cant really say more than that because most of his platform never really made it through to the public in the primary.

I think we here in Ontario pretty much have this power thing figured out (for now, we need to build more reactors sooner or later though); we generate 50% of our power through nuclear, something like 20% through various renewable options and the rest through coal/gas. We are however in the process of adding more reactors (we bloody well better, or my degree will be pretty useless) and we always seem to have some new green energy plan in the works.

Sorry for the lack of sources, everything I found seemed outdated.

Oh and Ron Paul.

You mean RON PAUL 2012 LITERALLY SO BRAVE?

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.

I'm really hoping all those theories about the legitimate Republican politicians waiting until 2016 to run are true. I need some of my faith in the American political process to be restored after this past year and a half.

You forgot Poland Perry. Who was viable up until the moment he opened his mouth on stage, and everyone realized, "Holy shit, that dude's lit up like a Christmas tree."

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. 

"GOVERNOR!  YOU WILL SIT DOWN OR I WILL RIP YOUR EYEBALLS OUT AND..." well you can imagine.

Kind of unfair, though. Obama is Commander-in-Chief, so Ermey wouldn't yell at him or give him orders at all.

Romney, on the other hand, would be verbally eviscerated in such a manner that historians would compare the results to that of the French Revolution in significance.

[SalmonGod]

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

Redking, become an politics.  DO IT NOW!  America needs you!

[Karnewarrior]

I liked the parts where they sputtered at eachother. We're getting back to our roots here, With Parliamentary politics! Emphasis on the hilariously pathetic attempts at order by the big man around 1:25

Honestly, I think Obama won because this time he actually forced his point out around the Romney rhetoric's Hot-air balloon. They won't be able to quote mine this one for nearly as many Uhhs, Umms, and Huhs, whereas Obama can pull out that nifty little bit about Libya.


I would go into politics but America wouldn't react well to my Cultural Revolution.

[sluissa]

I'm glad someone finally called Romney on at least SOME of his BS as well... even if it was, of all things, the moderator.

Best thing I've ever seen in an election ever.

Even better than the wacko going "HHHHHHRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!"

[Reelya]

Romney bald faced lies - obama never tried to push any immigration legislation? What was the DREAM Act then? I'm surprised Obama didn't nail that point as an outright lie, but I guess there could have been some strategy there too.

[GlyphGryph]

Numbers say Obama led 7% overall and a whopping 22% among undecideds. Considering the larger Republican turn out for these things, that's a pretty strong win, I think.

[kaijyuu]

My father says it was a tie. Note he's a diehard republican, and he really likes Romney, so that's pretty much the best he'd ever give Obama. I'd call that a win.

[Strife26]

Anyone have a full recording up yet? Internets didn't really agree with me streaming it live.

[Shadowlord]

They need the sound that plays on Jeopardy when your time runs out for these debates.

I'm watching it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEpCrcMF5Ps&hd=1

[palsch]

OK, I was playing the DJ tonight and deliberately stayed afterwards to get drunk instead of watching the tail end of the debate^*. But I've glanced at a couple of liveblogs and these suggest Romney actually tried to claim credit for his time as a Mormon missionary and minister. I've been keeping track and he hasn't really played these up on the national stage before this. The missionary part... well, he played missionary during Vietnam by going to France. The minister... I actually have sympathy for this, and can't imagine having such real human contact making anyone less suited to the presidency, but such a position within the Mormon church is bound to hurt with evangelical and even mainline American Christians.

*Years of drunk typing experience, many of them for credit, have taught me to do it without the usual giveaway typos.
