It only would take a half way decent politician to show how somebody who ran Bain would be a DISASTER for 90 percent of the country.

I respect how drug dealers make money more than how Romney made his money.

I want some questions on why Obama administration has been outright lying about the 9/11/12 attacks. Saying it wasn't planned it was just a random reaction to a bootleg YouTube video.

Obama doesn't have a great rep for debates. I'm curious to see how hard he pushes

It's not even going to be fair! Even Faux will struggle to edit it for their news problem so it doesn't look like Romney's getting killed.

Yeah pretty much, each media outlet will say their party was the clear winner in the debate. Supporting them even from a screw up. I see the first debate most important cause it would be so difficult to recover from such a lose with the media egging the situation.

@Future, strong video thanks for posting.

I don't think Obama is a particularly great debater but he's better than Mr let me bet you 10000 dollars Romney, I can't wait.
 
Cam Brady and Marty Huggins had a way better and more entertaining debate than these two ever will.
 
I found these quotes amusing...

"Barack Obama, I would submit, is not a very good debater," says David Birdsell, the dean of Baruch College's School of Public Affairs and a renowned debate expert. "He's very cautious, he ramps down the arch of ambition that we otherwise see in his prepared spoken material—and it's distancing. He has that vocal tic where he says, 'Look,' and then pauses. The 'Look' is a gesture of impatience—saying that at best we don't fully understand the situation, or at worst 'I'm tired of dealing with these idiotic inquiries.' It's deeply condescending. Then he chooses his words very carefully, but they don't sound like they're coming from the human heart."

Here is Birdsell's even less charitable view of Mitt Romney as a debater: "He shows an excess of caution in declaring his interests and perspectives. And he shows a degree of deftness at avoiding commitment—and consistently a failure to provide a compelling narrative of what drives him, either personally or in the policy arena. Now, he remembers figures well, and he looks great in doing what he does. But it's possible to rattle him. Remember when Rick Perry got under his skin? He replied with, 'I'll bet you 10,000 bucks.' When rattled, he runs to his inner Eddie Haskell."

Thats why the GOP thinks voter suppression is needed, right? 

Oh and I want you to tell me what you think of that video. I'm legitimately interested in what your thoughts are on it. You might find that you and the stance it takes are very similar. I'm being serious.

National level? State level? 

I know some local politicians who kick *** on stage but we're all familiar with the larger examples.

Nixon was great when you spoke to him but JFK looked better. 

Video killed the radio star...and actual candidates. 
 
If Romney doesn't point out that the large banks are bigger and that a normal BK process for Detroit would have done the same thing as Obama did without the taxpayer funded bailout of the UAW, and the abysmal Cafh-for-Clunkers program, then he's going to lose the economic portion of the debate easily.
