Attacking is risky. Sometimes it works, sometimes you try to be a hulking bully and then Dubya smirks and nods at you without breaking stride and you look like an idiot.

Obama doesn't need to take risks. He's in prevent defense, which despite the howls it brings, usually works.

This is the most controversial position on the thread so far. It could get us shut down.

Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney gained ground on Democratic President Barack Obama after a strong performance in their first debate heading into the November 6 election, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken after their prime-time face-off.

Romney is now viewed positively by 51 percent of voters, the first time he has enjoyed a net positive in the U.S. presidential race, the poll found. Obama's favorability rating remained unchanged at 56 percent, according to the poll.

Romney moved ahead of the president on several core issues after Wednesday's debate, which was widely seen as a victory for the Republican candidate.

Voters now see Romney as a better bet to boost the economy, spur job creation and manage the budget deficit, the poll found. He narrowed Obama's advantage on taxes, the Social Security retirement program and the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly and disabled.

Romney's strong performance could make the race more competitive, Ipsos pollster Cliff Young said.

"If he has more debates like this, is able to push through his message and target undecideds, we might see movement in voting intention

You've been fighting the fight around here long enough to know our opinions have calcified. Nobody is changing anyone's mind. So don't get all weepy if someone calls Romney the horse's ass he has amply shown himself to be, and appeal for respect, when the sitting president has gotten none of that.

Let's put it this way: I've never called President Obama a boob in a public forum. And just because you think Mr. Romney is a horse's ass doesn't make it so. Sounds like you're just pissed he had a good night against the President.

It may take a couple more days to fully know, but it seems like the only ones who were wowed by Romney's performance were Republicans and the press. A CBS News poll didn't seem particularly impressed.

And, was no one disappointed in the President's performance as well?

Holy fucking shit. Does every post you don't like have to come with your assertion said post is someone's opinion?

In my opinion, Willard Romney molests collies. In my opinion, you're a massive toolbag.

And MSNBC wouldn't have been calling the election a lock if Obama had performed well? Come one. Support your guy, state your case, but don't pretend Fox News is the only partisan media organization out there.

Glad you finally say those are your opinions. But it's nor certifiable Jacksonville sucks. You're simply approaching it from the the prejudicial standpoint of someone who doesn't live here and believes any falsehood he hears.
I simply find it amusing that differences of political philosophies degenerate to name-calling. Aren't you more mature than that? Don't you pride yourself on being an adult? Would it kill you to act like one?
Pathetic.

Of course all the righty sites are also torching him for being "weak," "spineless, " "gutless," "afraid to mix it up," etc etc yadda yadda.

So you see where that shit gets you.
