First Lady Michelle Obama said in a radio interview with Pablo Sato, co-host of Pablo & Free on WPGC 95.5, a Washington, D.C.-area hip-hop radio station, that the United States is in the “midst of a huge recovery” because of what “this president has done.”

In related news, the First Lady also said that Santa Claus has promised the Easter Bunny that we will have an early spring. 🙂

I live a stones throw from Hofstra University. I can tell you the area is the biggest liberal pocket going. I can also tell you that I worked at Hofstra University at one time and never met a conservative there that I can remember.

This may mean nothing but my feeling is that this audience will be Obama friendly and probably be stacked with questionares that stick it more to Romney. Just a guess. Crowley moderating doesn’t help either for Romney.

I’m nearby too, Johnny. I heard some of the roads were already closed today. Guess they spent a lot of taxpayer money making the area nice and pretty. 😛

I read something earlier about CNN planting folks and getting caught.

Nothing memorable is going to happen in this debate.

No hard questions will be asked because at bottom both Romney and Obama are foreign interventionists. The only real difference is in terms of management style. No real substantive differences. Neither man will tell the truth regarding the true danger that our interventionist foreign policy poses to our Nation’s security and economy: that an interventionist foreign policy is an aggressive action that always earns an aggressive reaction, that the reality of the situation is that the US is losing the “War on Terror” badly at the moment and that we (particularly our children) have actually become less safe because of it, that talk of large cuts in the defense budget is merely campaign rhetoric and that although the defense budget may change - more Marines and soldiers and fewer submarines, for example - whoever is elected, defense spending will grow, probably starting with a US led intervention in Syria and a war on Iran which will utterly destroy what little is left of the US economy to the benefit of a few powerful defense contractors. This is the scenario involving the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower prophetically warned us about so many years ago: that a few companies and oligarchs would, in a drug addict/suicidal type of way, put Greed over the interests of the Nation.

Romney has the most to lose, since he has doubled down in recent weeks on foreign policy and has demonstrated a lack of education on some basic geopolitical situations,even going as far as to declare Russia our number 1 geopolitical foe and claiming that this 21st Century must be an American century.

Yes , maybe they’ll fix the pot holes I hit a few times for Romney and Obama s limos.

They won’t have to do too much planting as those filled with near religious fervor for Obama will pack the university. They might as well have had the debate at the DNC headquarters. 😦
 
Romney should gaze into Obama’s eyes and declare in a seductive voice that the economy is Down Low. Let’s see Obama recover from that. Heck, I’ll even vote for him if he can recover from that. ;):D:rolleyes:
 
Gov. Mitt Romney has narrowed a 12-point gap with President Barack Obama and now trails the president 50 - 46 percent among Pennsylvania likely voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.

PA a toss-up? Go figure!

I played the drinking game last debate, but no matter how hard I tried I could get tipsy. Guess I’ll have to try drinking something stronger than Diet Dr. Pepper this time. :jrbirdman:

Obama’s list of promises is so long that I think calling Romney dishonest is a bad idea. Not only is this the wrong style debate for that, Romney can just whip out the list you posted as examples. For starters. Then tell the moderator he’ll need at least three more debates to finish. How on earth would this benefit Obama?

:rotfl::rotfl:

Obama can say, “It’s not my fault.” or “Hey, that’s not fair!”
 
Here’s a baseline going into tonight’s debate:

PRINCETON, NJ – Half of likely voters now prefer Mitt Romney for president and 46% back President Barack Obama in Gallup interviewing through Monday.

While Romney’s four-percentage-point advantage is not statistically significant, he has consistently edged ahead of Obama each of the past several days in Gallup’s seven-day rolling averages conducted entirely after the Oct. 3 presidential debate. Prior to that debate – regarded as a decisive Romney win by political experts and Americans who watched it – Romney averaged less than a one-point lead over Obama among likely voters.
