The media lost the debate but there’s a bright side to that
Joseph Curl rightfully skewers Crowley via CURL: – Washington Times. Yes, it was once again infuriating to watch our establishment media so mis-perform. But there is one great plus for the Right.
To the extent Obama may have had a prayer of making up any ground because he at least showed up, with the media again so much a part of the post-debate story, there’s not enough room for Obama to capitalize on it if he could.
The media that elected Obama in 2008 is stepping all over him in 2012. With momentum currently in Romney’s favor, as bad as it was, it at least works to our tactical advantage in this instance.
Another debate, another debacle for America’s media.
In the runup to the second presidential debate, CNN’s Candy Crowley declared that she would not just be a “fly on the wall” as she played the tiny role of moderator, that she would step in whenever she chose to say, “Hey, wait a second, what about X, Y, Z?”
And boy did she, cutting off Republican Mitt Romney repeatedly and often throwing the floor to President Obama with an open “let me give the president a chance here.”
What is emerging is that the real damage from the Biden Bath Salts debate and now this one comes in the days following their performance.
New media and social media are killing the Obami.

I think Romney won hands down. Both Luntz and MSNDNC focus groups lean Mitt [and these are 2008 Obama voters]. Although i’m biased, for me what came through last night was the “Alpha” Romney schooling the” Beta” Barry on his failed economic agenda – and this was powerful, no matter how much the MSM attempts to spin it. Right now, i believe voters are beyond “tactical” debating points, they are focusing in on who they want to lead the country for the next 4 years. Obama didn’t articulate a vision of what he wants to do, while Romney drove it home – with tax reform, energy, small business incentives, removing taxes on middle class investments, etc…the impression was massive and i believe cemented the positive feelings Romney left voters with after the first debate.
You’ve got to be kidding.
Romney came across as unhinged, babbling, and petty, and had no clear arguments from the first question onward.
Explain to me on the basis of his answer how he’s going to create jobs. Bet you $10,000 you can’t do it by quoting his own words. He just thinks they’re going to magically appear if he gets elected.
Watch the footage of him at the end. He knew he’d lost, and so did Ann Romney and his son.
Time to vote for a real conservative.
Johnson 2012!
Like most people who do not understand how markets work…
you think of them as magic.
And you are a liar. Johnson is a Libertarian, and that is not a conservative.
Although Johnson doesn’t have a prayer at getting enough electoral votes, both he and Romney would create jobs by the simple act of defeating Obama, were it to happen.
Witness the response from markets and the rise in measured consumer confidence as it relates to Romney’s polling increases and it tells you all you need to know.
