    I won’t be live-blogging tonight, as I have a softball play-off game that begins at the same time as the debate. The only thing keeping us from having a perfect 0-8 losing streak is that they are not making up one of our rain out games. Seems as though it would not have mattered to the standings. Huh.

    So for the first round of the playoffs, of course, we are facing the first place team, a run-scoring powerhouse that beat us by slaughter rule the first time we met. I researched it and found out that there was no way we could lie, cheat, bribe or act more moderate in order to “win” tonight so, unlike Mitt, I guess we’ll just play hard and fair, and accept the inevitable defeat gracefully.

  4. Dang! I probably won’t be watching the debate tonight. My husband just learned how to use the oxygen machine this morning and he is having a great time with it. Someone has to be around to tell him “NO! Dammit! Turn it off! The only way you can sleep with it in bed is to be comatose!” Somebody save me some good notes, just like in biology class – but without the dead frog.

  8. Grammy97,

    Thanks for posting that – it has been all over the Twitter machine today – many folks having fun and mainly waiting for the duly elected President of the United States of America, Barack Hussein Obama, to take UnFitMitt of the “notorious” job-killing #Sensata of Freeport, Illinois to task for DESTROYING AMERICAN JOBS to task. This is company that UnFitMitt owns 51% of and the plant is closing on November 5th, one day before the election. They are now calling their town Bainport and UnFitMitt refuses to come talk to them. He is hiding his ownership of Sensata under the his “Charity” tab, and thought nobody would notice. Should anyone get bored waiting for @Crabbait to return…be sure to put #Sensata in your tweets whether that is the subject or not.
    Looking forward to the DEBATE, and yes, POTUS will win and GET FOUR MORE YEARS, cross your fingers for the Democrats to take back the House and we will Speaker Pelosi in charge and “get things done” again. We will pick up a couple of Senate seats as well so McTurtle can just whine and lie, which is all he does no matter what happens.

    There’s a long list of companies Mitt and Bain have destroyed. One you might remember is KayBee Toys. Hope some of that comes up tonight.

  10. JJ: Many thanks for your sound advice about how to get a durned yard sign. I finally got two today, but you sure gotta kick a lot of butt to do that. This county DEM party needs a huge infusion of Juanita Jean.
    Asked for bumper stickers. They were out. Only ordered 100. Population of Brevard County exceeds 300,000. I call that pee poor planning.
    Next election, if I am still kicking, I am going to raise hell and put a prop under it.

  11. Grammy 97, I keep going back and opening this (five times already), and I can’t stop laughing!

  13. Grammy97: Hooboy – I almost believed there really was a Romney tax plan with details! Too funny.

  14. Last week, I didn’t know Honey Boo Boo. But now that I do, it’s like watching a car crash and not being able to turn away! Now she’s done gone and endorsed Obama…but for childish reasons (okay, okay she is after all a child)…still it’s cringe worthy. http://www.addictinginfo.org/2012/10/16/honey-boo-boo-endorses-obama/

  15. You’re welcome, to all those who laughed as hard as I did. That great visual came from Malia Litman’s blog. Thanks, Malia!

  16. Oh my, Chris Matthews was just opining that, “Obama is over performing with suburban women.” Which begs the question, “Does this mean that he is channeling his inner Bill Clinton or has Joe Biden been coaching him? Perhaps this was an unfortunate bit of phrasing?

    17
  17. The only way the government can control the price of gas is to regulate the oil industry.

    18
  18. Juanita Jean says:

    Go ahead, Mitt, keep talking over the woman. We women just love that!

    19
  19. Juanita Jean says:

    Well, 30 minutes in, it’s obvious that Mitt didn’t pace himself well.

    20
  20. Juanita Jean says:

    Yeah, right, Mitt balanced the budget for the Olympics after the largest federal bailout of the Olympics ever.

    21
  21. Arrggg! Gas prices were not, not, not lower four years ago. They dropped preciptiously right after the election so they were low when Obama took office. But, four years ago before the election gas prices were higher than they are now. Not that the president can control gas prices, but to imply that gas prices were low and they’ve gone up to someplace they’ve never been is stupid. http://zfacts.com/gas-price-history-graph. Also, our oil production is up, but we are exporting more, too.

    22
  22. I am glad to see the moderator NOT allow Mittens to talk over her. He’s trying, though.

    23
  23. Juanita Jean says:

    8:45 – My boyfriend’s back and there’s going to be trouble.

    24
  24. I believe the Prez is kicking some major booty.

    25
  25. Juanita Jean says:

    mitt, how many female partners did you have at Bain?

    26
  26. I notice Mitt and Bush weren’t any different in their eagerness to start wars.

    27
  27. You nailed it JJ. LOL

    28
  28. Thanks, JJ. Now I have “My Boyfriend’s Back” as an earworm. Could be worse. Not.

  29. Reply to Maggie says: what you do is have a 50-foot line
    from your oxygen machine to the bed (and you put the machine in the other room) and then you either shut the door (making sure you don’t pinch off the line) or leave the door slightly open and then the spouse (or whoever is sharing your bed) does not have to deal with the noise.
    You can get the 50-foot line from your oxygen supplier no problemo and and that works for us. I cannot sleep in the same room with the machine but my husband who needs the machine (also has hearing problems which helps to mute out the sound) doesn’t worry about it in the same room. Hope this helps. (from someone who has touble sleeping with lots of noises in the same room.)

  30. One of these guys are lying bad. The other is my President.

    31
  31. I’m much too antsy to sit in a chair and watch, so I’m listening to the radio while on the ‘puter. It sounds to me like Mittens is just stuttering and completely off his game. TEE and then a HEE.

    32
  32. Romney looks like he is sucking lemons! I don’t think he believed he would face this type of assertiveness.

    33
  33. Now I miss McCain – he would not have taken a cheap shot about the deaths of 4 Americans.

    34
  34. Ha! Romney caught in another lie about a terrorist attack. Even the audience caught it and applauded.

    35
  35. I really hate to say this but it seems to me that the republicans are almost gloating that the deaths in Libya happened on Obama’s watch. Disgusting!

    36
  36. Juanita Jean says:

    President Obama just blew an gasket and it was a thing of pride to watch. How dare you, Mitt Romney.

    37
  37. Right an AK47 isn’t an automatic weapon…….that’s right up there with windows need to open in planes.

    38
  38. Juanita Jean says:

    Do y’all think Romney will still demand to see the President’s college transcripts?

    39
  39. Didn’t I hear Mittens call her “Cindy?”
    And, isn’t he stuttering a whole lot? It’s a beautiful thing?

    40
  40. Romney walks like he has a cob up his…I can’t say it but you all know what I mean.

    41
  41. I meant “Carrie.” I was just so astonished that he thought automatic weapons had been outlawed. Jeebus, is he WRONG!

    42
  42. He said it! 47%

    43
  43. Juanita Jean says:

    My adorable daughter in law just texted me, “when is somebody going to confront Obama about where are those Death Panels he promised us?”

    She’s got promise.

    44
  44. Even Ann looks like her smile is pasted on.

    45
  45. Much better than 2 weeks ago!!!

    46
  46. BARACK IS BABACK

    47
  47. I am so proud of our President! He got game, for sure.

    I also got my yard sign today too; the precinct chair brought me one. He had told the Teamsters Union about how Obama/Biden signs were being stolen in our neighborhood and the Union paid for a couple of hundred more.

    48
  48. Well isn’t this a greatnight? Bristol Palin is ousted off Dancing With the Stars and Obama rocked.
