That's fine Matt. It is just tough to digest why almost every exsmple he used is twisted to mislead. Go research the issues. There were onky a few points that Romney was right on like the not planning properly with the banks. However the onky reason he now knows this is Hindsight. While Hindsight is "20/20", there is a reason it is called Hindsight.
You are a very intelligent guy - I wonder how you choose to not see both sides. Part of what you said was either biased or lacks experience/information. The rest you wrote are just reports on folks answering basic questions which have no room for elaborating.

Well said, KPW. Saying one candidate's presence, responses, etc were more effective doesn't necessarily imply endorsement of the candidate.Matt

Let's say objective rather than unbiased. Sometimes I talk to people about political commercials and say that a Romney one is pretty good and then talk about an Obama ad. I get jumped on because I said that Romney's ad was effective, really good. I try to look at things analytically, from a strategy point of view. I look at both sides.
I'm glad that people on the listserv can talk about the good and bad and still support whoever they want. You can only improve when one knows what he/she is doing right or wrong. Don't you love politics!Thanks, Eric.KPW

I don't think there is such a thing as an unbiased view. Nevertheless, I am supporting our President and I didn't think he did a very good job last night. Like KPW, I was a bit disinterested and had other things going on, but I didn't really see a solid response from Obama regarding the amount of money spent on the Green Initiative. Romney hammered that point home well. I will also be interested in the fact checking around the the Frank-Dodd legislation - Romney made an interesting point about smaller banks going out of business due to this. I am not sure about this cause-effect relationship, but I didn't think Obama responded well. Perhaps Obama is being far more strategic and giving Romney the rope to hang himself.
