I actually prefer raiding the AM station over the TV broadcasting station :V

Romney's non-sensical 'binders full of women' comment is incredibly offensive to women. Substitute any other group of people for women and it sounds like that guy who says he's not racist because he has a lot of black friends.

The last time I saw a binder full of women, I was looking at a kink website.

Other highlight of the debate, Obama saying the word 'gangbangers'. I can't wait until that soundbite is sampled and used as part of a sick beat, brah.

Or an adult bookstore.

Anyone have a spare million dollars worth of bitcoins to buy Romney's tax records?

There doesn't seem to be any real connection between the events of the debate and the declared "winner". In the VP debate, Biden was energetic, clear, and in command, and clearly superior to Ryan, and yet it was a draw. In the last debate, Romney was easily more confident than the president and just talked over him like he was already president... meanwhile, Obama rolled over every time Romney spewed out another lie. And yet Obama supposedly won!

They argued over how hard they were going to filate the oil companies and didn't even mention the urgency of addressing climate change.

I'm so glad I voted for Jill. Every patriot should vote to kick both of these unthinking robotic politicians out and replace them with statesmen and stateswomen.

Wait, I thought Romney was considered the winner, then Biden was, and then Obama.

I'm confuuuuused, where are you getting these "It was a draw! Obama won! It was another draw!" stuff?

Also, I'd love if the vote was for "Dude what handles foreign policy", where you'd get people like Obama and such, representing America and Americans on the international stage, and then another vote for "Dude what handles internal policy", handling the taxes and the defence budget (That would probably be a joint effort between the two, come to think of it), and hopefully you'd get people who were actually competent.

Though, if that was the -only- change, y'all would two circus acts and pagaent shows instead of one. :I

People don't mention climate change because it's "controversial". Yeah yeah, I know it's not... and it is a serious issue, but as long as you have a large chunk of people out there believing it's all a conspiracy then politicians are going to tread lightly around it... A the very least Obama is trying to move us towards policies that will at least have less damaging effects on the environment, even if that's not the reason he's saying so. Finally, it's going to take a global effort to deal with climate change, not that we couldn't start ourselves, but it would be best if we could get everyone on board... Start pushing a global green energy treaty instead of this stupid ACTA crap.

Also, no love for geothermal? It tends to be ignored while talking about renewable power, but is a great powersource in those places were it's available.

I don't think we have much, but my university has one of the largest geothermal operations in North America.

[Zangi]

Well, I hear Europe is doing stuff...  like the emissions tax.  I don't think that is popular here.  Probably not popular in China too...

Also, China and maybe Brazil too are growing nations needing that energy to be strong and healthy.

In an alternate reality where people still believe in democracy, you might have seen something a little bit of  this in the last debate.

The first debate expanded:

A cursory look through the site does not reveal such a video, but it may be there.

Was there any wide media coverage?

Not that I know of, I saw it in a slashdot article.
