The big night has arrived!  Some say that this will either make or break the candidates……the media is predicting at least 50 million people will watch….both campaigns are downplaying the candidates performance…..but it will come down to optics….the viewers will be watching reactions and such and probably do not give two shits in Hell what the candidates say……as usual it will be a personality contest with little concern of the positions of the participants……

What new did you learn from the debate?

I learned that Mitt does know how to be aggressive and Obama sucks….surprise….surprise.  Obama let Mitt off the hook on too many points.  Not that any were wrong but rather there was not even a little challenge to Mitt’s set of facts…..Obama needing to talk directly to the public and he failed on that point.

If there are truly any undecided voters that watched the debate then at the end…..they were still undecided.  There was nothing in the debate that was informative…..nothing but a plethora of talking points.  And I am talking about both candidates here.

We Americans are ate up with winners and losers……so let me break it down simply……the loser was anybody that was hoping for any clarification of the candidates stances on issues.  The winner was Mitt…at least in optics….and that was what this debate was all about…optics not issues.  Mitt was aggressive….but the aggression was aimed at the moderator more than the president.  Mitt now has something that could be said to be some offense and that should carry the conversation until the next debate….this should help in the polls…..and that is what this election is all about….polls not issues.

Hopefully the foreign policy debate will be a better debate on issues and positions.  I am also looking forward to the VP debate…..at least for now I am looking forward to it.

In closing, there are two things that have caught my attention, not that I have not been paying attention, but rather just did not care…….Mitt has the fakest laugh in politics and second, he you noticed that Mitt has the same facial expressions as Mussolini, just not as exaggerated…..(okay all you Cheetos eating bobbleheads…No I am not calling Mitt a fascist only that the expressions are eerily similar)………

It’s late…..and I need a drink!
