Patch surveyed 136 local political influencers immediately following the first presidential debate.
Tampa Bay area Republicans and Democrats weighed in on the most memorable and impactful moments of last night’s presidential debate. Patch surveyed 136 influential conservatives and liberals immediately following the debate and asked what they felt were the biggest moments of the night. One Democratic respondent wrote, “The president played it safe and was not as aggressive as he should have been.” One conservative who felt Romney won the debate by a wide margin said he thought the most memorable moment was “when Romney asked the president why he spent two years focused on passing Obamacare instead of trying to get people back to work.” A Democrat who felt that Romney won the debate by a slim margin said, “the fact that the president …

Or were you just bashing my attempt to discuss this reasonably rather than incoherently "Bush was 1000% what … more ›

Interestingly, when you have a leader of "One of America's Great Newspapers" who literally does not understand the meaning of the "Fourth Estate" when he was called on it... Then you can easily understand why the public could so unwittingly vote both for a young man so unready for the position he naively sought, or an incumbent of such limited competency. The election may be over, but this story … more ›
