It was a historic thumping.

Work and Days

Wednesday was not only a big win for Mitt Romney, it was a historic win.
Romney scored the largest presidential debate win in history.
And for Barack Obama – the largest debate loss in history.
The Hill reported:

According to a new Gallup poll of those who watched last week’s presidential debate, 72% picked Mitt Romney as the winner, while only 20% thought Barack Obama won.

That”s the biggest win in history, exceeding even Bill Clinton’s 42% advantage in his townhall debate over George H.W. Bush (the one where Bush checked his watch).

The numbers on Romney vs. Obama reflect those of snap opinion polls.

According to Gallup, Republicans gave him a 95% win over Obama, Independents picked him, 70%-19%, and even Democrats thought Romney won, 49%-39%.

But does that really matter?

Yes, Gallup notes that in the three days following the debate, Romney erased a 5% deficit among registered voters to tie Obama, 47%-47%.

From controlling the rise in ocean levels to getting thumped on national TV in a debate.
It was a hard fall for the boy wonder.

    Well, not this speech of Romney’s. The crooks and cons Obama and his Plouffe, Jarrett, Axelrod Merry men aren’t going to destroy Romney’s new found reputations in the world and here at home. It just will not work this time around.

    Next presidential debate: Mitt vs. O’s Teleprompter?!?!

    Picture here: http://floppingaces.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/pols-teleprompter015.jpg

    President Obama’s faithful want him to take the mittens off in his next debate and trounce his Republican opponent by bringing out his secret weapon: The Teleprompter!

    Apparently some Obama supporters felt the president was at a disadvantage without usage of his teleprompter in last week’s debate. (Well…truth be told, they’re probably right). They think it was unfair in the last debate that the president debated at a handicap:

    As one man stated, “How’s he going to memorize an hour and a half debate?”

    Watch Rebel Pundit interview some of the president’s most loyal supporters at an Obama for America rally in Wisconsin Thursday, via Breitbart, for more:

    By executive order,last weeks debacle never happened. In other news,Democrat water carriers across the country are waking up to the realization that Republicans Romney and McCain are two different people.And in several key states,kids are telling their blurry eyed parents that the Hope and Change President has no clothes.

    Here’s an honest question that I hope can be answered clearly:

    What is wrong with checking your watch?

    You’re in an important event, the focus of attention. There are no clocks visible, and you want to be aware of the time- maybe you are expected to give a summary, you want to know how soon the final round begins, and so on: a responsible person should be aware of time elapsed and time remaining.

    I’ve heard Bush ‘checking his watch’ repeatedly mentioned as an obvious blunder, and the moment his debate was proven an obvious loss. I’ve never understood why.

    What was wrong with Bush checking his watch?

    Sincerely, Peter Warner.

    THIS IS WHAT IS FRIGHTENING ABOUT THIS REPORT:
    “According to a new Gallup poll of those who watched last week’s presidential debate, 72% picked Mitt Romney as the winner, while only 20% thought Barack Obama won.”

    WTF did ONE out of FIVE people interpret as a “win” for that Kenyan goat herder? Did they see something that I didn’t see? Crap people, the African-American population is only 12% of the total population – not 20%. What were these people watching? Have Americans become so stupid that they can’t tell the difference between winning and losing?

    Help spread this story, it is a problem for Obama and his pals.

    As Obama’s cover story comes down, the curtain goes up on the USAO’s cover-up of J.J., Jr.’s role in the Blago story

    Road Kill #14 … “Have Americans become so stupid that they can’t tell the difference between winning and losing?”
    … YES. For years now, there has been no ‘winning or losing’ in the lives of children. Everyone gets a trophy, everyone is a winner, everything based on feelings, etc… so, it is understandable that there are adults out there who have either been raised with this view, or have bought into the lie. They are wrong, but they are there.
