With polls showing President Obama leading in crucial swing states, Wednesday's debate has become even more important for Mitt Romney. NBC's Peter Alexander reports.
DENVER – Most of the American political universe descended Wednesday on the University of Denver’s campus for the highly-anticipated opening debate between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
Both candidates will meet onstage shortly after 9 p.m. ET. for a culminating moment in the 2012 presidential election. Tonight’s debate, the first of three between Obama and Romney, offer both men an opportunity to shake up the campaign in the winnowing days before Election Day.
Romney spent much of the day holed up in his hotel resting and preparing for the debate. Both he and Obama toured the debate site this afternoon; the president traveled to Denver this afternoon from Henderson, Nev., where he spent the earlier part of this week practicing.
Obama enters the debate with a slight advantage over Romney, both nationwide and in key swing states, according to the latest NBC News-Wall Street Journal polls. That raises the pressure for Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, to make up ground versus Obama tonight.
The debate, which is moderated by Jim Lehrer of PBS, features an open-ended format set to maximize the direct sparring between Obama and Romney. The focus of Wednesday’s debate is domestic policy, though the recent outbreak of violence – particularly in Libya – could mean that foreign policy is also featured in tonight’s showdown.
NBC's Chuck Todd examines strategies to be employed by the Obama and Romney campaigns in the first of three debates that will help determine the presidential election.


Tonight is the night we have all been waiting for.
Will Mit look cool and comfortable debating against Obama.
Will he look like Nixon?
What we have is EVIL in the Oval Office
vs
GOOD...and we the people...
The truth shall prevail even with the 47% fools aka do nothings sucking on the GOV TEET as planned...for votes...
You sound the 47% being referred to. Probably too clueless to realize.
0bama is going to go down in flames tonight.
lol
Wouldn't count on it. Mitt is not a very smart man.
Only one way to find out, and even then, when we look at ourselves in the mirror we all know that conservatives will say Mitt did great! regardless, and democrats will say Obama was so cool! regardless. So really, WHO KNOWS???
Here's the ironic thing: Generally speaking, democrats will always vote democrat, nothing will change that. Conversely, conservatives will always vote conservative. So in the end, the independents get to decide who gets in. Yay for independents :|
I'm a conservative, but that doesn't mean I hate you liberal peeps, these comments would be empty without both parties here, wouldn't you agree?
Float like a butterfly; sting like a bee.

0bama thinks he's the smartest, most humble person he knows, he'll tell you.
jjgrats
So a Baker Scholar (top 5% of your class) in a dual major course MBA & Juris Doctor is stupid? You might get a lot of ire for that lame comment.
Wait and see folks.
Why are the right wingers so premature?
that's old and tired. Come up with something original for a change. Quit showing everyone how a low information voter thinks.
Romney has been in the green room playing janga with his sons, seriously.
What? He failed out the first time around. His daddy was governor! When you have millions of dollars and almost unlimited power backing you, no, college degrees are not impressive at all.
Romney 'I'm not concerned about the very poor'
Romney hides money in foreign countries to avoid paying taxes.
Romney showed his true face.
Foxbots accuse Obama of spending too much.
Guess who spent the least...
www.forbes.com/sites/rickungar/2012/05/24/who-is-the-smallest-government-spender-since-eisenhower-would-you-believe-its-barack-obama/
Here is more proof Obama spent less than any previous admin...
Here is your Obama spending...
Foxbots are brain dead and in denial.
It's Amazing!
President Obama is kicking the wannabe "Outsourcer and Chief" Mitt Romney's butt, behind, and arse.
President Obama is hitting the ball out of the park on every question,
and Mitt Romney is "sweating like a pig", on every question.
Thank-God Obama will be our President for the next Four (yes 4!) very long years.
But we have to do our part.
We have to make sure to Vote a straight Democratic ticket come this November 2012, and send Mitt romney and his Republican Masters
"BACK to the DUNG HEAP of POLITICAL HISTORY",
where the Republican Party really belongs.
sad part is most of you ppl will wonder who will do better the dems or the repubs who will WIN, instead we should be thinking what is best for the american ppl, the answer sure as hell isn't these 2 clowns.
Voting dem or repub will get you the same result the middle class enslaved in either big gov't or big business what's the difference, both kill off the life blood of this country.
Looking forward to hearing those "spontaneous" zingers. badum dum.
I don't know. Mitt's smile was a lot bigger on the front page of the article. He may be more practiced. He could probably fit a hell of a lot more meat in there than Obama. Either way..One of them will come out with the better smile after getting screwed by our companies, right?
Way to go Mitt. Obama said "ok". He omits his errors with US citizens
Obama isn't a clown. The clowns in Congress have halted any progress for almost two years now. RepublicansforObama is right -- we have to elect Obama for another term but we also have to get rid of the dead wood in Congress, aka TPers.
Obama wants those who are doing well to contribute......what about the BILLIONS we have spent on the first family since they moved in????
LEAD by example Barry!
Obama is tongue tied on what he has done to the national debt.
Romney is blowing the socks off a silent Obama
He is LOST without his teleprompter!
"Will Mit look cool and comfortable debating against Obama.
Will he look like Nixon?"
Answer- Only when Nixon looked so bad in the debate with Kennedy. The difference is that President Obama did the best MATH and debate answers.
4 more for 44.
Let's get 44 a Congress that can help him achieve what he wants for our future.
I dont know what channel your looking at, but i see Mitt stomping Obama. Barry doesn't know what to say without his teleprompter and I had bingo 3 times already!!!
Obama is the man. Obama talks to the people. Romney just talks like a well trained robot.
Teleprompter? Seriously? Is a teleprompter giving him answers to random questions? Anyway, Obama can think on his feet, unlike Romney.
Romney will have his coaches in the audience giving him signals, otherwise he'd be lost. Tomorrow morning his staff will have to come out AGAIN and explain what he really meant to say.
Are you people not looking at the CNN poll! Romney is beating Obama badly and CNN is liberal ! Go look and see! Obama not winning! Too many democrats and jewish people that voted for him last time are not voting for him this time. I wish he would have done better but that's life! Can't take another 4 years!
And the winner is....ROMNEY! He was kicking ass and taking names!
Obama sat silent without his teleprompter!
I think Michelle will be making Barry sleep on the couch tonight!
Fedup- You are 100 percent correct! Even the very liberal loving Obama MSNBC thought Romney won! Liberal CNN thought Romney won ! Go to these stations if you dont believe it !
Romney/Ryan 2012
I got the popcorn & I'm ready to watch. I DO hope they stick to the domestic policy though, as there is another whole foreign policy debate coming up. Of course, Being a dark blue liberal leftie...
GO OBAMA!
4 more for 44!
He may have wished he had stayed there after this is over, lol!
I am very conservative but that does make me a Republican.
Political profile testing places me in the middle of both groups.
And Romney's zigger of the evening: "Well.....So's your momma....
Hehehehehe
>:o):
"Will Mit look cool and comfortable debating against Obama.
Will he look like Nixon?"
Answer- He looks like Nixon only when he debated Kennedy. Kennedy looked the best. Additionally, President Obama provides accurate MATH and still looks better.
4 more for 44.
Obama is lost... Mitt is ripping him a new a.....
I am a democrat! I am still a democrat but I am not voting for Obama! I will vote democrat for everything else! I am not better off nor is 23 million other people in the United States. Obama has worst unemployment rate and has failed badly. I hate to say this since I am a huge democrat . This time there is not much choice but I AM NOT VOTING FOR OBAMA! Wake up people! Vote for HIllary in the next election, but this is not going to work voting for Obama! Sad but true!
Romney won!!! Even MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC all said Romney won! Go watch if you dont believe!
Go Romney!! So glad all the liberal media is even saying you won!!! Ha hah!!!!
Mitts not good under pressure. This first debate is his only chance. OH started to vote yesterday. Nobody cares about the VP debate. It is now or never. I will stick with the 99% and predict Obama wins in a landslide (both the debate and the election).
If he can't beat the likes of Rick Santorum or Herman Cain in a debate, he has absolutely zero chance against Obama.
And you example hails from what: a PResident that has been a perfect F for spending the USA into oblivioun: vs a man whose heritage had contributed to his family(who are not illegals nor name changers, nor in public housiing, nor have they been disbarred like Michele; nor have they been deported; nor have they been arrested for theft deported and returned ending up in Public House; nor has Mitt's father been an organized butcherer who abandoned his female and child...nor has Mitt spent any US GOv aka Taxpayers funds...nor has Mitt donated from US Treasury to ACORN in June 2012; nor has Mitt guaranteed the overthrow of three nations like Egypt, Libya(where US Military were sent to make certain Communist China had their oil continued...) Syria...all at the expense of WORKING US TAXPAYERs as US Citizens of Generations: now has Mitt donated seats in our USA's Taxpaid UNIVERSITIES to Illegals illegitimates aka DREAM ACT...where our US Military should be attending! Nor has Mitt supplied MExico's cartels and JIHADIST with weaponry to kill Americans, US Border Patrol Agents told to "use beanbags again heinous killers aka cartels of Mexico!"
Mitt didn't take a salary to organize the Olympics he gave his time!
READ Facts instead of ignorance kills!
Where have you seen that? That is by far the least likely thing anyone who has worked with Mitt would say. I can say that, because I'm professional manager. Working under pressure is a constant reality failing under pressure is not an option.
In the primary debates. Mitt was crap.
stopusa
Stop lying
Actually, he's not lying, you just want to ignore facts.
crickets when the truth is told...........
Romney/Ryan 2012
markin;
Look at Cnn poll! They are liberal! He is losing the Denver people ! They have monitors on !
Makin , Markin., all the stations ALL EVEN THE LIBERAL MSNBC all saying Romney won hands down, "Obama snippy, did not want to be there, President Obama defensive! GOOOOOOOOOOOO ROMNEY!
Well, if I were the president today, looking back on all the crap that a president has to put up with, foreign affairs, lots of meetings with people, dictating policy,etc, and compared that with the the fun of flying around in the pimped out jet and throwing lavish parties at taxpayer expense, perhaps I'd be ready to toss the jet. Working at being president is a whole lot harder than playing at being president.
Mitt did very well against Obama. Not sure why anyone would want four more years with Obama. Last election he promised a rose garden and only made things worst. However, it was his plan to take us down and if he gets in office this time we can kiss our Country goodbye. Obama can say anything he wants about what he plans for our Country but the real truth is he hates America and he will prove it if he gets back in office. Any one for Obama has been pre-warned. You haven't seen anything yet!!!
Will somebody please clarify? This looks like Obama is using AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO FUN HIS RE-ELECTION!!! It's infuriating to think I could be taxed for funding someone's campaign whether I want him or not. But this came from Fox so I'm open to explanation. Yes, Redhead, I'm sure you have your own explanation, but I'm also looking for facts so throw those in too if you don't mind, please. Thanks. :)
Dang link didn't show, help please?
reagancoalition.com/articles/2012/20121003002-obama-layoff .html
This isn't quite right either (notice the spaces after www and layoff?) ugh, frustrating NBC site.
Air Force One Cost $187,000 per hour! Taxpaid which is illegal: but this is someone with his lst disbarred female who both claim "we have to sacrifice!"
That does not include security in the air or upon arrival or the actual destination.
Each city is stabbed with that...and are declaring bankrupty each day--no media on that either...
Everything is just perfect according to this administration: because that is their goal to Redistribute what hasn't already been given away or sold: what is left ask yourself?
We are owned S L A V E S just a few more months and the nail will be put on the coffin of the USA as we know it: thank all those elites, self perpetuating bureaucrats; and the 47% who bow to their King...Muslim who ignored National Prayer Day but invited 57,000 MUSLIMS aka JIHAIDST into WDC for their newly appointed National Muslim Day of Prayer!
And all you who ignored the US Flagpin statement by the Kenyan "I can't wear that ,, it signifies OPPRESSION!" Obviously, you don't speaka englsihe,m or you are just plain an aisle of servant without any servant existing!
I was able to follow your link. Here's my take on it, it looks like a right-wing media site designed to attack the president not present facts.
I will take most of what goes on tonight as fact, not the stuff that comes from Fox News or msnbc... And since I'm a liberal, you probably won't trust my opinion and this comment wont matter.
OBAMA/BIDEN 2012! That is all.
PS It is illegal: and the White Houses refuses to provide FOIA requests: along with the details of who enters the White House --yet another lst in "I don't have to abide by USA laws...who do you think you are to even bother me or the US Attorney General!" The list continues...as is the $800 billion per day...we owe and are owned by Communist China.
YET we still give them extra taxdollars to build solar factories, dams, roads, etc. in addtion to our daily poison we import to slowly kill us while they build their billion person military against us...
This White House thuggie has spent more than all other administrations combined: but the 47% will give their lives...bowing to him...HELL overfloweth and so do our landfills with their junk!
He is not using tax dollars to fund his campaign. What nonsense. And the President of the United States flies on Air Force 1. Democratic or Republican. Get over it.
stopusa
Again, stop lying
Yes another reason a democrat is not voting for Obama while unemployment is sky rocketing!
Can't wait to see Mitt "Get Aggressive". This man is a dip@!$%#!!
lol yessssssssss
Simpering--that's what Mitt look like when he's not speaking. And when he does speak, it's as if his ideas are original, that he didn't COMPLETELY REVERSE his position.
jj
look at live polls he is beating Obama like a drum! Do you have a brain and CNN liberal like MSNBC
jj Romney won! Every major liberal network hates to say it but Romney won and prez acted like a spoiled brat!
Romney won!
Lets be sure we cover Deficit by President: http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
Which Party really spends the money . . .
Kristen
You need to go back to US Constitution class. Congress writes all budgets and spending bills. The President submits to congress what he would like to do. Congress then passes what they are willing to let him do.
When you analyse the deficits vs who held the House, the Senate, and the President, you will get an entirely different picture.
Worst spending, Dem House, Dem Senate with a Dem President.
Second worst spending and deficits. Dem House, Dem Senate, Republican President.
Third Worst spending and deficits. Dem House, Rep Senate, Republican President.
Best fiscal restraint Rep House, Rep Senate, Rep President with one glaring exceptions Jan 2003 - Jan 2005. In the history books, 2005 - 2007 spending increased little and the whopping revenue increases was wiping out the deficits.
Second Best Fiscal restraint. Republican house, democrats Senate Rep President.
That's b.s.
no matter what happens the media will love Obama
You must mean the media does love Obama because he is intelligent and can formulate his thoughts well. Equally, you could mean because he is married to a woman who is intelligent and can formulate her thoughts intelligently. Romney is not intelligent, is not married to an intelligent woman, has a problem thinking independently and certainly does think well without being coached. His best plan for tonight is to stay on script. Mitt, do not veer from the plan...stay on course. If you fall off track you are toast!
Nope, the media loves Obama because, for the most part, the media is composed of liberals. Not hard to figure out, been going on for awhile now.
far12, Not this time CNN showing he is losing the denver people turn the channel for yourself ! It's true!
far 12 The media has always favored Obama but this time , this debate every major network is saying Obama spoiled brat , bored to be there , condesending to people, and they all said ROMNEY WON!!!
can hardly wait to see if Mitt can actually answer a real question with a real answer instead of the short none answers he has been handing out since the start of this cycle of elections.
I'm waiting for the first "we'll have to get back to ya' on that one" response.
After watching the video of Obama that the media will not cover, he sounds just like his pastor Rev. Wright. WOW! Such hate based talk.
You mean that old video that was all over the news 5 years ago....that one?
The clip is old! Where have you been? They played the heck out of this in 2008. If you take a look at history, they DID NOT exempt the Stafford for New Orleans right away. The Government flub it and he had a right to call them out on it. Can't do one thing for some and not the others. I can see you voting for a man like Akin too...is that your hate beliefs?
Fox news played themselves again, starting with Hannity and Tucker...
It took you pubes 5 days to get water to the super dome.
I think mitt really stepped on his pecker with the 47% comment he got busted on, and the mid center folks who were unsure which way to lean before are going to vote for barry. its going to be a close race no doubt though. i have no preference for either candidate but i think mitt blew it.his base will still vote for him , but he's lost a lot of the "i don't know who i'm voting for crowd" i say ...stick a fork in him he's done.
It was hubris for Mitt to speak about such a large group of people and "write them off". Such an idiot. In this day and age, did he honestly think no one had a phone and was taping his conversation? Such a douchebag! Then, just to clarify, he says again, that he's writing them off because they/we (I qualify in this group because I work and feed my children AND pay taxes but am not a millionnaire) "would never vote for him"....certainly not now buddy.
He was a douche before and is a douche now. Tell me Mitt, just how many lies have you told today? How many people have you "written off" today Mitt? Just how come you are so hubris?
NO, Mitt did not: and obviously you are one of the 47%
and I work: I know what it is to get myself up each day after having planned the day or week before to be prepared and be responsible
now expect someone else to take care of me or mine.
47% obviously are fat, lazy, and indifferent or they would have a JOB...illegals have no problems finding work...
So if that is all you can come up with...you are not worth your flush!
Sorry USA, but if you have EVER had a tax refund you are in the 47%. I have federal taxes taken out of my check EVERY payday, as does every working American not at the poverty level. The government does not put it in to some bank account and save it for me if I get a refund. It goes to the Fed, which then spends it on whatever program they need to spend it on that week. If I receive a refund at the end of the year I guess that makes me a moocher, a fat, lazy, and indifferent American. You need an education, or to maybe just be flushed...
Some of the 47% are people that get tax breaks working low paying jobs, it was part of the Welfare Reform Act. So Stop USA you should know the facts before showing your lack of intelligence.
If obama does gain anything tonight, it will all be lost in the VP debates.
Nobody cares about the VP debates. Who even knows when it is scheduled for. In one week from now Obama will have a million vote lead in OH and it will be over. No OH, no way for Romney to win.
Your illustrious VP when a Senator:
and the Dems voted against making ENGLISH our official language: my family has given their lives for this nation...and for the freedoms you take for granted...
Dial#2 for Spanish costing taxpayers Trillions...to bow to povery INVADERS and criminals, drug et al, diseased, gangs ...hundreds of thousands in the USA direct from Mexico, Central American, Asia, etc.
Welcomed and rewarded US Citizenship while US Military are sent around the world to guard other nations voting, borders, etc.
All of which we foot the Bill for and the UN--including the invaders taking our US Dead Militaries seats in our Taxpaid Universities!
EVIL vs One Nation Under GOD
We are not a Christian nation USA, so which God are we under? Look up Treaty of Tripoli, ratified by Congress. You know, Constitutionally.
It is not like it is going to matter what they promise or what they say. Four years ago in the debates Obama made lots of promises and up to now has not delivered on any of them. He has proven, on his own record, that he can't be trusted. Look at his record and what he has done over the past four years and you will see that he has done nothing to fix any problems or deliver on any promises....all he has done is kick the can down the road and spend tax payer money on everything. To date, he is the most traveled president and has spend historical amounts of money. Under him the US has lost it's AAA credit rating and gone in debt so far that our grandchildren's children will still be paying for his lies and his spending spree. It should no longer be about political parties but about saving our great nation. Anyone would do better than Obama and he has shown that. Ask yourselves this...where is he getting all that money to spend on campaigning...from his 1%er friends that he has been spending money to save for the past four years while the rest of us fight to keep a roof over our head and food on the table.
Lets be sure we cover Deficit by President: http://zfacts.com/p/318.html
Which Party really spends the money . . .
Deficit by President....inane, and obviously dishonest leftwing ploy to claim that all deficits run up by Republican presidents 1933-1994, when the Democrats ran Congress, are those presidents' fault alone, and not the Democrats who controlled the House.
In a real comparison, the Dems come out looking much more rotten. They get all the blame for all debts under FDR, Truman, JFK, LBJ and Carter and first 2 years of Clinton because they ran everything, all houses and presidency, except for a couple years in there when Repubs had one or the other branch, very few.
The Dems get half the blame for all debts under Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Bush 1. They get half the blame for all debt last 2 years of Bush.
Mitt cannot relate to the 99%
Not only can he not relate, he shows and clearly STATES he absolutely does not CARE for the 99%. He's absolutely pathetic!
Romney can relate. Obama is the one that is condescending...and pretends to care while he runs roughshod with his own agenda. Can't believe people fall for Obama's shtick. I thought only a simpleton could be fooled, but I seen grown men and women fooled by Obama...glad to see more and more coming to their senses and walking away from him.
It's going to be an ObamaNation . . . . . for Mitt that is.
Romney is praying to his mormon creator (Linus) that the Giant Pumpkin will RISE out of the pumpkin patch and save his DUMB A$$.
imam Husein is praying to his muhammad Ala
Are you a birther too?
If hussain obama runs on his record,,,or ideas,,,or unconstitutional choices,,,or ,,,,,,,,,I think hussain obama is in trouble!!!!!
and i think that you are wrong if your choices is the tea party or consevator ideas, sorry
It's a race thing nothing more. I mean look at his comment where he says "Hussain Obama" If he was a white man I wonder if the same ugliness would come from his mouth. Again I doubt it.
howsad,,,Idiot, that is his name and why don't you call out that other obamazombie leroyBOY about the "stench Romney comment you complete a$$ idiot!
President Obama will have Stench Romney flipping and flopping all over the stage like a big smelly carp on the dock.
will be prepare to listen the next president of the united states OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kick some butt President Barack Obama.....
Mitt the twit. Here is a man who wants me to believe in him, yet he was FOR the Vietman war that my husband so bravely was part of and yet he took an exemption to travel around France as a Missionary? Look, if that was your thing fine, but to be know as someone who was for the war yet fail to participate....WTF? You think now that because he know draws retirement, he is a moocher?! Romney feels he is above the the middle class. He was born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple! He is a liar and a cheat. Oh sure he takes the exemptions because they are legal. Whatever...YOUR MATH DOESN'T ADD UP! You cannot cut 20% of taxes and balance the budget. Your VP pick is an obstructionist who could have made a difference himself these last 4 years but he choose not to. This is one Veteran (and yes I am a Veteran) will not be voting for Romney who believes in war yet fails to fight for us! blah!
Enlighten us...what have you contributed making yourself worth your flush!?
Enlighten us all USA, what have YOU contributed making you worth the flush?
The standards for all politicians during a debate are:
1) more or less ignore the questions -- just pull out one of your talking points that's kind of on the same subject. STAY ON MESSAGE. Hammer home the same points over and over again even if they aren't strictly speaking relevant or factual.
2) Produce sound bites that make you look good. Most people are only going to see a couple 20 second clips of the debate, so make all your 20 seconds look good. Doesn't matter if you are on a bizarre tangent, make it sound good as a clip.
3) Have good hair. People vote for the guy with the best hair.
Follow up:
Romney was best at sticking to his talking points, regardless of the actual subject at hand.
Romney had the best sound bites.
And Romney had the best hair.
The best thing Obama can say about the debate is that he didn't make any major, embarrassing flubs. But he didn't shine either.
I'm sitting in front of the TV tonight in just a pair of white long underwear to show my support of Mitt.
And yes, Democrats, there's millions of people just like me wearing only long johns tonight too. That's how much we're upset about your failed big government recovery.
The entire government run by Dems and Reps is a failure.
I have been around since Nixon, yet to see President who does good job.
Ray-gun. Too bad he didn't have a Newt Gingrich congress or we would have gone thru the Welfare State with a buzz-saw. As is, we ran deficits...Demoncats blocked all cuts in handouts.
You should wear long mitts instead of johns.
Let's see how red Mitt can turn tonight...Nervous, sweaty, jittery, anxious and beet red.
Are you nervous yet Mitt? You're about to debate the smartest man in America...
LOL
Lol, Toyota just said Obama was the smartest guy in America hahahahhahahahahahahahahah.
Mr. Genius still doesn't want anyone to know just how awful his undergrad grades were in college, and insists on hiding them.
That kind of smartest guy.
Damm skippy....
President Barack Obama "IS" THE SMARTEST MAN IN AMERICA.
Get ready to sweat Mittens...
He has always looked like a creepy old rat to me. And the sideburns that are grey on the end....something is totally off about him. He is creepy on so many levels. I would never allow my children near him, afraid for their security.
MArgo--you are exactly whats wrong--to vote for someone to run the most powerful COMPANY on the earth because he's cool--what a fool.
Well, it is the fools who vote for the celebrity. If it weren't for those celebrity worshippers, weaned on tv and vacuous in the extreme, we wouldn't be in the current sorry state of affairs we presently suffer under. Thats right, little sheep, pay attention to the hair, far more important that the real issues confronting our nation.
Obama needs to get his ears pinned back. Sugar bowl.
Sugar bowl? That's cute!
Its time for you to start sweating Mr. President. No more easy questions. I don't think so Leroy Brown. Its your last dance toyota3
Do ya think Mitts handlers told him 'don't make any bets during a debate ya dumb @!$%#".
bmw, that's an odd statement considering Mitt has been dodging 'specifics' on his answers for months. Being stuck in a forum where you're expected to actually answer a question probably won't go so well for him. If he starts parroting basic stump speeches, it's going to fail. People need to know what they are getting. Vague answers just won't cut it here.
It will be interesting to see if he actually provides any specifics. He's been denying those same answers to the press for months.
Thank you Mr. President, believe me, we know where all the DEBT came from. Why in the world would we hand the economy back to the wolf after he just killed grandma. NOT going to happen. Funny how RoMONEY has all these details, last minute, mind you, and he's deluded enough to think his numbers won't be gone over with a fine tooth comb. He's been mute on all of it...he can forget about being elected. We've got YOUR number and your party's. Elect any of them and they will think saying NO is a PLAN.
So tell me Mitt, I'll betcha want to cut Obama's hair now too. Your plan makes no sense! Like President Clinton said: IT'S ARITHMETIC.
