Its kinda sad that the main thing that may come from the debates is just a screw up, otherwise they are coached to stay on script, and odds are they even know the general idea of the questions asked, and wont be held to actually answering the question and just talking around an answer.

carlfense Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney looks better so far. Link to comment
strigori Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney sounded down right childish with that 'I think I get the last word" line that was more or less studdered Link to comment
carlfense Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Romney sounded down right childish with that 'I think I get the last word" line that was more or less studdered Agreed . . . but he also seems more comfortable and confident. Link to comment

Easy to seem more confident when you change your policy to be the opposite of your competition's. Link to comment

Not enough, the right wing media makes people think its billions a year. And the rest of the media does not even bring it up. Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I think the governor will always have the advantage in a debate compared to the president because they can just go back on what they said 4 years ago and didn't follow through Link to comment

Plus the numbers are big enough that they are hard to compare. $10 million dollars sounds like a ton of money. So does $10 billion dollars. Most people simply do not deal with those numbers.

Which could be blamed on the piss poor school system we have. Maybe . . . I still think that they seem abstract. It's not so much a lack of education or intelligence . . . it's just that they don't seem real. Especially once you get to trillions of dollars. Link to comment
