Presidential Debate

Been watching it. I'm amazed how much they actually agree on. The only major stuff I saw differences on was education being handled by the state or the federal level and the health care stuff. Honestly I'm pretty liberal, but Romney seemed way more prepared.
Also, for the drinking game, you would be pretty smashed. Even Obama likes the term "ObamaCare" so that came up a lot.

Romney is definitely the better speaker of the two.
But, at least for me, these debates don't mean much. I'm already well aware of their stances and positions... all the debates tend to do is sway your view on their charisma. It's not as if debating is a regular part of a president's job.
Was really hoping they'd be more contentious and less agreeable. Perhaps the big guns will come out later.

Pretty much this.
I'm still undecided though;it's just that both of these guys look shifty as hell to me.
To be perfectly fair, Romney is a motherfucking genius. Not to say that I agree with anything he says, but he's a very smart man.
Even though every four years we go through the same thing, where we have candidates that people on both sides of the field say are "retarded" or "idiots", etc, the fact of the matter is that the candidates are actually far smarter than most of us can actually comprehend. Just because I disagree with most of what Romney says doesn't mean I think he's a dumb man. I may think he's selfish, greedy, and out of touch with the American people, but I would never question his intelligence by calling him retarded. Same with Obama, Bush, Gore, or any other candidate.
These people are absolute geniuses. They've all spent more time in law school than I care to even think about law, and have typically served in several different branches of government and have tons of experience in their field.
That said, I fucking hate Romney. He's a smart man, for sure. But I dislike him.
