Romney won??? Apparently the fight was fixed.

Seriously, how does the guy who whined win?

Why was Romney touching Perry?? Was that allowed in the debate?? Was Newt touching Bachmann??

Talk about TKOs:

Here is a knock-out:

Keith Olbermann: Paid $10 Million to Lose Viewers

“Keith Olbermann is not in the witness protection program, but he might as well be. His show on Al Gore’s Current TV (America’s least watched network) has lost nearly a third of its viewers in four months.

It was no surprise that Olbermann drew a big audience for its early shows - averaging 106,000 viewers a night. Unfortunately, by August it was down to 79,000. Last month’s numbers were even worse.

 Olbermann’s average was down to 46,000 viewers and was in no danger of coming close to breaking into the top 30 cable TV news shows. None of the top 30 is all that impressive in terms of audience.

 For the third quarter of this year No.1 Bill O’Reilly had 2.8 million total viewers, while No. 30 – the 12 AM showing of Dr. Drew on HLN – had 435,000.”

Way to go, KO- KO is KOed!

LMAO

Word from hair salon telegraph :

Tollhouse lost to Willie .

Sanitarium was very upset Dr. Ron wasn’t touching him.

Stick a fork in him, Perry is done.

What does Olbermann and his viewership have to do with the debate last night??

It certainly doesn’t rank with Lloyd Bentsen’s take down of Dan Quayle. That still stands as the gold standard.

Everything- he is as big a failure as the debate was.

Yeah, but Lloyd’s saggy ass is in a grave.

yup… and so is Reagan…

Ah Perry, you are not nearly as good at defamation as your old friend Carl Rove.  Rick the script is you let someone else lie or prevaricate.  And never, never allow the intended victim the chance to rebut until the lie has been spread and believed by many.  Once that is done you sit back and watch the fun. 

Perry is just Evil-light; wanna-be Evil; the store brand diet cola of Evil…

And your saggy brain is in your ass.

Leedog, you’re not really looking for this one to make sense, are you?

LOL

I struck a nerve!

But he was a president not a slime ball like Bentsen.

I know… I should have known better!!  =(

Just think, if Mittens is nominated, you get 4 more years of Mittens heavy, aka Obama. Even if somehow Mittens wins, you get Obama lite. YAY!

actually I think he was more of a puppet than a president… 

You couldn’t strike a nerve if your mother taped it to your baseball bat. 

Romney reminds me of Himey the robot from Get Smart…

Years ago, during the second stage of Ali’s career, there was a Sports Illustrated cover showing a facial close-up of him seated in the locker room after the Thrilla In Manilla with the decidedly less elegant Smokin’ Joe Frazier, Ali’s face bruised and battered and swollen quite nearly beyond recognition, with the title: This Guy WON? 

We don’t really know if Ali suffered in that fight the permanent brain damage he started to show within a few years, but it’s unavoidable that it contributed to it. 

So, I’m tempted to think the direct outcome of the fight last night itself acts to disguise the long-term damage this may have done to Romney – although it cannot be said that there was not already an awful lot of talk about his ready and quick hypocrisy and pandering.

But the bigger points may be these: First, that was nearly a home crowd for Romney, so to the extent he crowd reaction influenced real-time perceptions, those might have been deceptive. Second, few if any of us here are in the crowd for whom these combatants were performing, and it’s they who get to decide in the end who won. For example, while the winner on the ‘slick’ factor is absolutely clear, the winner on the ‘sincerity’ factor may not be.

Finally, it’s weird to see and hear Republicans say anyone on that stage can beat Obama but then that settling for Romney is mainly justified for his providing the ‘best chance’ to beat Obama. That from the Party of Principle.

Lee, do you even HAVE a dog? That’s simple pack behavior, establishing who’s the Alpha. Perry tried to do it to RoPaul, who shrugged it off, but RoPaul’s not in it to win it, he’s there for other reasons. Romney had no downside in this: either Perry fails to react, and Mitt has succeeded in occupying his space, or Perry over-reacts and goes down in flames. 

The really clever thing at work here is how Mitt has worked out all this in his campaign training room, as one of a huge number of tactics he’s mastered or come close to mastering in the debate game. But then, no one has ever accused Mitt of not being clever; it’s other attributes folks are concerned about.

Too soon, Stoner. 

Current has money to burn and a very long-term outlook. They’re adding The Young Turks and Jennifer Granholm to the evening line-up. The goal clearly is NOT to compete with the commercial networks for numbers of watchers, it’s to operate as Organization Central to whatever lefty movements might require it.

Eventually this is way more important to advertisers of certain product lines, too. Current is after the Apple crowd, with a hope to expand into the Google crowd. It’s not after the gold coins and taco-burrito combo set.

Yeah, but that’s like comparing checkers to chess. The general is different from the primaries. Primaries are all about mixing Who luvs you baby with Ah kin whip that guy’s butt. The general is about playing to a very wide crowd of friends, enemies, and frenemies. 

In fairness, an absolutely superb puppet. Way better than anything other than the Muppets.

Well, we get Obama 2010-11, but not Obama 2009 or Obama 2012. So, it’s four years of Obama 2010-11 versus maybe FDR 1937-1941.

Yes, but with more humanity – Himey I mean.

“Nando,” yech. I know you’re the new guy but has Tommy imposed a quota on you?

Watching Rick Perry melt down faster than a block of ice in the desert at midday was positively stunning.

The guy ain’t ready for prime time.

Best for him to go back to Texas and keep giving tuition to illegals and forcing girls to have HPV shots.

I would take Howdy Doody over four more years of Obama.

Romney at his worst is better than Obama at his best.

I don’t care who the GOP nominee is. I will stand in the snow on my knees naked to vote that Cancer out of our White House next November.

Headline- Texas Cowboy suffers TKO by Beantown Brawler.

Nice!!

It doesn’t make any sense for Perry to attack Romney.  He should be attacking Cain, who has stolen all of his voters.  He might be trying to play spoiler and help Cain win the nomination, figuring Cain will lose against Obama and then he can run in 2016.

Full tackle debates!

Add some jello for the lady.

So you must be for Perry.  

Sadly the host should have exercised more control keeping the debate on a serious avenue in serious times.
 I hoped the host would have taking the opportunity to show some journalistic skill he could be proud of while advancing the serious challenge ahead for America instead of Romper Room antics for ratings and msm fodder. Maybe next time..
