The Great Debate Megathread! Black Lincoln versus whiter, richer Douglas!

[Phillip V]

White chicks and colored boys; must be Northern Virginia.

If it wasn't for the blurred TV video of the debate in the back, I'd have sworn that was a still for some yet-to-be-released prime time network apocalyptic drama involving young people.

They were shocked by Obama's flaccid performance.

Romney has now said 47% comment was completely wrong.

"I was against the 47% of Americans before I was for them."

Talk about really bringing on the "flip-flop" commentary! Who was it that was deemed a waffle during the 1990s? Can we dig those cartoons up and just re-brand them?

[Josephus]

So some commentators  are hinting that Obama was distracted, perhaps with something he was told before the debate--perhaps a national security issue.

[lustindarkness]

On the radio I heard again (it was mentioned here already I think) it was the altitude that affected Obama because he flew in just a few hours before.

[Josephus]

There was definitely something going on. Hopefully he can get back on track next time.

I wish he'd bomb somebody. The news is: boring.

I've also heard it was a soon-to-break (today or Monday) news story from a major news publication about a huge Obama fundraising scandal.  Which smells of BS, but not significantly more so that all the other proposed excuses for Obama's poor performance.

[Martinus]

I loved Jon Stewart making fun of Obama's performance in the debate and the Democrat spin of it on the Daily Show.

This was one of the most desperate excuses.

Wrong as in misquoted/misinterpreted or mistaken?

Have you ever gone from 100 ft above sea level to 5000 ft above sea level in a matter of hours? It doesn't just drain you; it almost makes you feel sick.
