#7  One guy looked at his opponent the whole time, the other at his podium and which one do they blame for cheating? Bizzarro.

#5  It's not a quibble. It's a meaningful distinction.

If Obama put in a really bad performance (which he did), then it really doesn't matter what Romney did. The whole idea of cheating becomes a non-starter.

Also, the idea of Romney as some kind of giant slayer is not supportable. There was no giant on stage to slay.

I've watched Romney debate many times. He is generally competent, and that's about it. He's also thin skinned and prone to exaggerate, even lie. He lied, for example, about editing the paperback version of his book to exclude the line about rolling our Romneycare nationwide. Flat out lied his ass off. Or, is that also a mere quibble?

Point is that Romney had the good fortune to be on stage when his opponent dropped dead of self inflicted wounds. That's about it.

#3  This is so far off base. Where to start?

First of all, Romney didn't win so much as Obama lost. Champ phoned it in and there was no MSM to cover for him.

#2  If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.
- Sun Tzu


Remember the articles about how conservatives can think like liberals, but liberals can't think like conservatives? This demonstrates the strata that can't conceive of their opponent's abilities other than magic or cheating.

#1  It was a handkerchief. There is even a video of him using it.
