Do you not care that Gov. Romney's "crisp" performance included a fair bit of "malarkey" about the President's positions nd his own proposals?

Obama's attacks on Romney were not borne of an electorate which did not want big ideas.  It was the result of of having no successes on which to justify a second term.  If you have no accomplishments, painting your opponent as radical is all that is left.  That was working up until the debate.  Romney had access to the electorate without the media to stand in the way and distort.  He proves himself competent, likeable, and very serious.  

Obama has managed to keep is out of any new wars in the Middle East; that alone is enough for my vote. He's still batting clean-up.

This election has never been a referendum on Obama.  You have to love these nonsensical positions taken by some opinion writers.  I suppose they are necessary to have something to write about every day.  This election has from the very beginning but an election about "change", not Obama's hope and change, but change.  Do we change President's in mid=stream. 

Two segments of the population would vote for a cheeseburger if it had an R or a D next to it.  A rather useless group, but there you have it.  The balance has always recognized the disaster left to Obama.  The question has always been are his corrections working?  Does the new guy have better ideas.  Truly this election reminds me more of Nixon - Humphrey than anything else.  Nixon's secret plan to end the war.  Mitt's secret plan to fix the economy.  Although Mitt isn't as secret it's kind of a secretive Bush II if you will. 

Mitt is to the right of those of us in the middle.  I mean true middle not R's or D's who like to call themselves I's but real independents.  My problem in this election is I have never like the man, Mitt Romney.  Forget policy I just don't like him.  I think in the end that may be the biggest problem and the main reason Mitt loses, if he loses.  He lacks integrity and it shows. He is somehow incomplete. 

If this is a referdum election and I don't believe it is, but if it is.  It is a referendum on Mitt.

so tired of this "inherited a big mess."  Welcome to being President. Put on your big boy undies. George Bush took office in a recession and 10 months in an unprecedented terror attack and anthrax attack. That was easy?

Americans can now understand the dissent & grid-lock in Washington.

Biden is obnoxious, condescending, and boorish.

Obama cannot debate/discuss or talk without a TELEPROMPTER.

The two in a meeting, must come across as Frat boys.

Today the Catholic Bishops have issued a statement putting the lie to Biden’s whopper:

Last night, the following statement was made during the Vice Presidential debate regarding the decision of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to force virtually all employers to include sterilization and contraception, including drugs that may cause abortion, in the health insurance coverage they provide their employees:

“With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it absolutely clear. No religious institution—Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital—none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. That is a fact.”

This is not a fact. The HHS mandate contains a narrow, four-part exemption for certain “religious employers.” That exemption was made final in February and does not extend to “Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital,” or any other religious charity that offers its services to all, regardless of the faith of those served.

HHS has proposed an additional “accommodation” for religious organizations like these, which HHS itself describes as “non-exempt.” That proposal does not even potentially relieve these organizations from the obligation “to pay for contraception” and “to be a vehicle to get contraception.” They will have to serve as a vehicle, because they will still be forced to provide their employees with health coverage, and that coverage will still have to include sterilization, contraception, and abortifacients. They will have to pay for these things, because the premiums that the organizations (and their employees) are required to pay will still be applied, along with other funds, to cover the cost of these drugs and surgeries.

USCCB continues to urge HHS, in the strongest possible terms, actually to eliminate the various infringements on religious freedom imposed by the mandate.

"begolfing"  What cause the meltdown was Wall Streets and the bankers involvement in derivatives.  Now you can go on the Fannie Mae nonsense, but if you are voting for someone who will allow the banks to once again get into parceling and derivatives then you will get the same result.  Fine supprt Romney but at least try to recognize what caused the problem. You don't like Obama, that's fine.  I don't care.  You and others just ignoring what happened and allowing to happen again will cost me money.  So try to stay informed.  I'd appreciate it.  Like him or not it took four years of Obama to get my portfolio back to speed.
