Mitt acted like a junior high debater ready to pounce if he could just get his opponent to agree to one point. Obama acted like a president.
Definitely not adorkable.
“Since World War II, the stock market has risen an average 58 percent under new Democratic administrations versus a 32 percent rise under first-term Republicans.”

The two best market stretches have been under Democrats. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was up 79 percent during Bill Clinton’s first term. It’s up the same amount under Barack Obama with three months left.

Who prevails this evening depends not only on how each candidate does but also on how their supporters react. …
First and foremost, [Obama] needs to show that he really wants to keep his job, and that he’s happy to fight for it. The most disconcerting aspect of the first debate wasn’t that Obama failed to go after Romney’s shape-shifting and untruths, though that was a problem. It’s that Obama was utterly disengaged and seemed to have no desire to battle for a second term. A number of Obama supporters I spoke with after Debate One said they felt that were fighting harder for Obama’s reelection than he was. This time, he needs to convey spirit, energy and a little joy. …

For the record, Mr Romney is the former governor of Massachusetts
Americans do not grant titles for life. Former Governor Romney is not Governor Romney. There is no President Clinton nor Presidents Bush, just former presidents. You can skip using “former” if you reference the years they were in office. We have no royalty, no House of Lords in America. We are all equals.
