It's interesting how the media spins these debates to create a more newsworthy election.
Regardless of how the first debate was perceived, Obama actually won that debate by debate standards.
And then last night he wiped the floor with Romney on every topic. But somehow we're told it was a tie?
How the media manipulates the outcomes of these lopsided debates appear equivocal is not surprising, but still amusing.

I can't get this video to embed, but the first half, albeit delivered by a declared actor, is the most succinct summary of this election I've encountered thus far:

The frightening part is how much the media does influence the mass perception. It's amazing.

Except for that one part where Romney levied his stock criticism of the economy and unemployment and Obama had no response.

I'm just hoping RMoney opens with his "annex Kabul & Tehran" counter plan at the third debate.

Well, at least a dorm room at the University of Alabama has found its constipated-looking, grammatically challenged sorority girl. This passionately misspelled indictment of the commander-in-chief, which appears to have been scrawled on a discarded pizza box (the official protest medium of college students) makes a pretty effective case for Mitt Romney, but an even better case against Romney's plan to slash the education budget. Come on, America. This girl is one more cut language arts program away from having the linguistic skills of a Chick-Fil-A cow.

I'm going to believe that she's simply trying to mock the anti-Obama people, because the alternative is just too depressing for me to handle right now.
