Who Won The Debate?
Gary Johnson, for being the least boring candidate there.
Ken White tweeted something along the lines of what I was thinking all night:
@Popehat I'm really disappointed that neither candidate had an opportunity to evade questions on civil liberties or the War on Drugs.
They both pandered themselves senseless. Obama mentioned his daughters so often, I thought one of them was going to come out and do a striptease.
He also dipped deep into what Mickey Kaus has now termed "estrocentrism," by talking about fair treatment of women in the workplace...while...whoopsy, paying women who work in The White House far less than men.
Favorite Romney pander: "My dad was born in Mexico."
Yeah, right. "Pablo Romney."
Other immigration-related funny by KABC's John Phillips:
@Johnnydontlike Obama to Lorraine: "I can relate....Donald Trump wants to deport me too."
P.S. The "binders full of women" jokes were over about five minutes after he said it -- exhausted on Twitter by everyone not in a coma. Save your typing fingers.

Yes. Yes. Four'na half.

White Mormons are an interesting group in Mexico. They don't intermingle. Also I saw that with the Mennonites. Both are being pressured by the drug cartels to leave.
They look so milky white and inbred there. Like white hicks. Being an Orange County gal I was fascinated as to their contrast from the richy rich whites I grew up with.

We have the last four years vs a governor with a record as viable candidates. If you want more of the same, vote for it. If you think the other guy can do better, vote for him. If you think there isn't any appreciable difference, stay home.
You could vote for Johnson, but staying home will save you time and gas.
What, you mean you're listening to what your employee says he's going to do if you give him a no cut contract for the next four years? Do you manage the Yankees?

I will vote for Gary Johnson because Obama is taking California and because voting for the same old shit doesn't work.

I had a buddy in junior high who had binders full of women. He hid them under his bed.

I'm having to vote for Romney because I'm in a swing state.
Romney may be another Reagan, but I doubt it. I'm just hoping the collapse holds off long enough to truly build up all the resources I need to go through the collapse to the other side.

"Romney may be another Reagan, but I doubt it."
Agreed.
Romney may be gaffe-prone, snotty, out of touch with America, a violent gay-attacking bully of a frat boy, and arrogant to boot, but he's not daft enough to ask the Russians to join him in battling the space aliens when they invade Earth.
The same can not be said of Reagan.
