the debate aint over yet.

Terrible moderator.It's been the same answers all night. Maybe people are finally fed up with foreign policy.Let's stick to the domestic concerns.

Barry won.

Romney won! Can't wait to welcome him as our newest president!

Romney. Why cant Obama ever look or sound Presidential.

Obama won on substance. Romney was somnambulent. I was reminded of the debate between Dick Cheney and Joe Lieberman; Lieberman agreed with Cheney on everything and challenged him minimally. Romney needed to do more than survive and coast tonight; this was his last, best chance to win over swing voters. I can't imagine that that performance was enough to do that.

I don't think the election will be determined by foreign policy. I think Obama and Romney have pretty much the same agenda with the exception of the size of the military. The big divide is the economy and which candidate can get us back on track and create jobs while cutting the deficit and not raising taxes. I think it's a pretty big task but I also think one candidate can do it better than the other. Go Red!

Obama by far.... I wonder if Gov. Romney has ever felt what we feel his mannerism displays....his expressiveness does not give me the trust, conflicts of positioning on issues, excitability..... I regret that our leaders of this country could not put aside their personal politics & not been so divisive to the good of the whole. He deserves more time with the mess he was handed to him in his turn over & then had to fight thru the arrogant infighting every step of the way. I am proud of what he has stood for & accomplished & tried to sustain. He has stayed steadfast the entire way. IMHO, I can't see how there could be the feeling of comfort could be there for Romney....just my sincere feelings. Obama showed great sincerity, firmness, calm power & dignity as a leader.

Obama clearly is incapable of leading our country. 4 years of utter despair! Romney goes head to head with him and puts him to shame. He overpowers his presence on stage, and you can see the defeat in Obama's eyes. No confidence. Our president spends most of the time defending himself and attacking Romney, instead of telling us his plan. He talks about Romney's plan "not adding up", yet he hasn't added up a single thing correctly since he's been president. For four years, he pushed Obamacare, in which over half the country doesn't even desire! The economy contunues to trickle down, but he remains so focused on Obamacare and green energy, as unemployment and poverty rises? What a mistake!!! Have no idea why anyone would vote for Obama.

Romney! He won again and he will make a great president

Follow the fact checkers,Romney crushed him.

We will all win if nobama loses the election, then he can play all the golf he wants and hang out with those bimbo's on the view everday what a bum !!!!!

Obama was more clear in his arguments. He attacked well Romney's poor mathematics and policies. However Romney's economic plan sounded better than Obama's. Romney will be an okay president with some mistakes. Obama will be a careful president but he will have the same problem that he had so far: he doesn't know how to compromise with the Republicans.

There seems to be little difference on foreign policies between the two!
Although I think is was close to a tie, Obama did come across as angry and little at times.
Romney seamed more presidential to me!
Having said this, I do not think the polls will be moved much, and this is not good news for obama because at the end of the day, "it's about the economy stupid"!
Just a foot note: in all 3 debates, Obama kept saying that the military is not asking for more funds! Does he not know that he is commander in chief, and that he makes the decisions and sets policy for the military? That would be like saying that if my employees are not asking for a raise or benefits, that I shouldn't do what's in their interest, and give them deep cuts in pay because their not objecting!
The only difference is that the safety of over 300 million people's lives are put in jeapordy!

Although I am an avid Romney supporter I will not personally offend our president. I respect his authority but I think he may be in over his head. Politics and change are very difficult things for people in general to handle or understand. There will always be flaws no matter what. Although our president articulates himself very well and has tried to put forth effort to help us I am afraid that in doing so he has presented our country as weak in regards to foreign relations. His Obamacare also carries the HHS Mandate which forces businesses and institutions to provide plans and services even if they are ones in which directly violate religious and moral consciences. I will admit that I voted for Obama in the last election, but
after seeing how much he has imposed on the general population without our knowledge or consent I have totally swung to the other side. I also agree with Romney's economic plan and his vision for how we should stand up for ourselves globally. Obama has tried but hasn't really moved us forward. Actually, our country has become much more divided. I've decided to give Romney a chance and most people I talk to who voted for Obama will be doing the same thing. I just don't think Obama knows the future consequences of his actions. Let Romney's business experience and
respect for religious freedom guide us for the next four years. I'm confident that we will see some changes for the better. Please consider Romney and his ample experience when you vote.

President Romney

Again obama demonstrated his leadership, brillianceand great strength as romney whined, sweated abd fli flopped his way in saying anything he thinks the pollsterd and voters want to hear. Since i am not pary of the rich 1% i love obamacare, i do not want medicare vouchers for my son in the futire, i want him to have the same good medicare seniors have now, aarp want obsma, romney is a laugjing stock around the world just like Bush bush brought this country down and we donzt need more of that , leadets all over the world respect obama because he is a strong team player, he will not start lies based on wars to benefit the oil companies or dick cheneys companies . Romney sweats away with platitudes and greed, i jusr don't get it, but reading these comments is quite an eye opener. I am scared for our countr....

Barbara, please stop with the talking points. Your jealousy is showing.

Like the second debate this was close. But it is not Romney that has to win the independents at this point. It is obama. Romney is winning in most polls. Foreign policy is not the number one issue. It is the economy and obama has been a complete failure when it comes to that.

It will be an interesting election.Close as it is no matter who wins we will ALL need to bleed to get our country back on track.

I'm still in shock when I see and hear the Republican women. Apparently, they must all be in another world since no intelligent woman in her right mind would look at Romney and his (and other Republican men) views on women's rights!

What? The right to have an abortion? I'm a working mother of 2 girls. Women have rights and choices, and with a Republican at least we will have jobs as well!!!

ROMNEY FOR PRESIDENT.

If you hired a plumber to fix a leak and the leak turned into a flood; would you rehire that plumber? NO, you would fire him and get a new plumber..Can't wait to see what President Romney can do!

Wow! So many repubs on this board it's like being in a different reality. In case any of you didn't notice Romney agreed with just about everything the president was doing. And in case you hadn't noticed that was a complete 180 from his prior stances since he started campaigning and in some points a complete turn-around from a few weeks ago! Pander much? The president tried to exude steady, methodical, strong leadership and all Romney could muster was "I agree". Whenever the president cal out Romneys "change of mind" that's all Romney could do was jab with " You're attacking me". We will soon see if any of the rope-a-dope tactics worked for Romney but as a registered independent voter I'm not convinced we should change one for the other.

It's not "repubs on this board." I think you are hearing the voice of the "undecided," independent voters.

Obama! Obama! Obama!

By looking at this post, it is clear that women allow themselves to be swayed by their emotions rather than who would make for a better president and our domestic economy. By this measure, Obama will win the electoral college and Romney the popular vote. Romney has proven in our own state that he has the ability to work with democrats. Romney is more of a democrat than Obama a republican. If Romney could work with Ted Kennedy to get the Massachusetts Universal Health Bill passed. Then it is obvious that Romney would make for a more pliable, amicable Congress/Senate. An Obama win, regardless on how one sex "feels" will further polorize this country, continue the divisiveness in Congress/Senate. An Obama win will give a gut kick into the Stock Exchange, our money will become worthless, you can expect hyper inflation on food and energy. Our economy will go into a final and long lasting recession/depression. In simple terms, our economy will tank due to more regulation, higher taxes, lack of energy exploration, lack of energy renewell. Basically what we have experienced over the past four years, will get worse. An unbridled Obama 2nd presidency will bring about a kind of socialism never experimented in this country. Personally I am offended by being a guinea pig in economic terms. I don't like Romneys personality, never did. But we are better with a change of course, these past years my portfolio has tanked along with my salary. My children have moved back home.

President Obama's agenda for a second term includes these things: He Wins !
Subsidize expensive energy that is largely impractical and penalize cheap fossil fuels that work well
Expand means-tested income maintenance and support payments beyond the $1 trillion level today
Expand filings for Social Security Disability beyond the 1.3 million he added so that today's 1 out of 16.2 workers on disability can go to 1 out of 12 or maybe 11
Pile up 4 more 13-digit budget deficits
Grow the federal government spending proportion of GDP from its long-term average of 19.4% beyond today's 24.4% to something closer to 35%
Reduce economic growth from its current all-time 14-quarter sustained low level of 1.45% per year to maybe something below 1%
Drive down median household real personal income by more than the $4,300 it dropped in his first term
Reduce the number of working Americans in both BLS surveys by a factor greater than the negative net job creation in his first 4 years
Improve the climate for bankruptcy attorneys
Enroll another 10-15 million on food stamps beyond the additional 15 million he added to the program in his first term
Reduce the proportion of working-age adult new population entrants that enter the workforce from its long-run average back to the Carter years of 74% to a level below the 9.2% we witnessed in his first term
Of course, this is only a partial list because, as Michelle Obama told us at the convention, Barack is "playing a long game

Krauthammer: Romney Won Unequivocally; Obama's Responses Were Petty

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/10/22/krauthammer_romney_won_unequivocally_obamas_responses_were_petty.html

ZZZZZZzzzzz bayonettes, ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz nuclear submarines.....ZZZzzzzz This was by far the most boring. Helloooo B E N G A Z I calling Obama was petty, Romney played it so safe. Now back to the game,

Is Romney the devil? No. Is Obama the devil? No. I remain an independant that's leaning toward the current administration. Again I'll ask - Am I the only one who kept his job because of the recovery act spending? I agree that deficits need to be reduced and we shouldn't go forward with the same level of spending but, from what I've seen in my 50+ years on the planet, the Republicans are not different than Democrats when it comes to writing checks - neither looks at the balance.

The private sector is about to get a great big kick in the teeth come January 1, as well as all the middle class employees that work for these company's
And this is going to help the middle class how?

The problem is Obama either doesn't know simple economics, or does not care about these people! They are probably not going to vote for him anyway. It's just sad, because this makes up for the majority of the population, and will further destroy this economy!
Also, layoffs are inevitable with his plan, and we can expect to see unemployment rates jump drastically!
Please people, look at the big picture, vote with your head and try to dissect the propaganda and lies to scare you. They're just not true, and we could all find ourselves in a very bad situation in the next 4 years, or probably less if we continue on this same path to the Grand Canyon!

Doug: "So many republicans on here" Do you have any idea how many democrats are voting for Romney. You are the one who needs a reality check. The mideast is burning. foreign policy failure. Economy is in reverse, failed domestic policy. There are a ton of people who aren't as shallow as those who vote "D" no matter how inadequate the leadership. Get a grip

Donna, I agree, the mideast is burning. Why is it Donna that over the past four years not a single meeting has been held by President Obama to start the peace process again between Israel and the Palestinians ?
Steve Marino might be a bit over the top, but his heart is in the right place. So isn't Donna's.

Hope is not a business plan. You keep hoping. I want a change in direction. We need jobs We need someone who is willing to gamble with his own money and win not someone ready to throw yours away on friends and donors.

Ann. You are right On thecmoney. But I do believe Romney will pull it out. I just don't know a soul who is better off than they were 4 years ago. (Exclusive of my few left wing nut family members). And they are not better off they just can't admit they screwed up voting for Prez 0 the first time.

If you think President Obama hasn’t delivered, consider this quote by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in October, 2010:
“The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
Really? The Republican Senators have prioritized the good of the nation over the recapture of the coveted Oval Office? The track record of the Senate Minority has shown that that is precisely where their prioritizations have been. Remember that in the Senate, a minority can stop business with the filibuster. The business of the people is held hostage for political ambition.
It gets worse in the House, where there is a Republican majority. The House sits idle, while a looming sequestration crisis looms. If you think that the sequestration crisis will be resolved after November 6 with the current House leadership, consider that only last month Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH) said,
“Listen, the House has done its job on both the sequester and on the looming tax hikes”
Really, Mr. Boehner? So as long Boehner gets his way everything is OK, otherwise, off the cliff we go. I guess the Speaker, who is the third person in the line of succession to the presidency per the Constitution, has never heard of Harry Truman. Good job passing the buck. It’s not your problem, right?
It seems clear to me that if you want positive change in a couple of weeks, the prudent course of action is to keep the president and change the Congress.

obama win the last debate , romney is no good

palin , you might be a good talker but you dont respect the commander in chef then you are ignorant

obama is a good person thats why he wants to continue his next term sothat he can really finish on what he has started, you all try to critisize obama's administration but you all didn't think that obama is a great oerson and a smart talented lawyer that i ever encounter as president, i believe obama can lead the nation of the united states as a commander in chief, i respected to all of the parties such as independent and republican or democratic, but please respect everyone, if you all try to make yourself involve into the polictica mood..

each everyone here are the same ordinary voter like me, no matter what you are rich or poor, but you can not dispect our commander in chief which is obama, and you palin needs to shut up and take care of your own issues about your daughter if you are trying to be tichnical about the life of a family, so mind your own backyard before you mind someones yard, you palin is very rude and it sound that you are very uneducated, it doesnt matter that you talk and show yourself in the video but you are very rude and racist to other color and it shouldn't be like that, i understand that you lost last 4 years ago for the election but dont have any grudge about obama, take care of your own family issue in your relation with your husband and daughter, i want you to respect obama, so you need to stop you attitude . it doesnt work and by the way you are very ugly and you are not real when you talk...

The President plans on "ruling" by fiat. He has issued more executive orders in his first term than the last four Presidents. We cannot risk 4 more years of the same tax us and spend on companies that are filing bankruptcy faster than a weather change in New Coincidentally ALL companies Prez 0 "picked" are donors to his campaign. Do you think that makes sense? Romney gambled on companies with his own money. Obama gambles with yours for personal benefit. Romney Ryan 2012

That's New England
