[Grateful for Hope]

92. Romney starts out sounding nervous

and now looks nervous while our President is talking

[randome]

121. Yes, he does.

But yet Mitt offers none.

[Up2Late]

94. YEAH! 85 minutes till these STUPID DEBATES ARE OVER!

Can't wait!

Btw, Romney looks tired and is blinking a lot.

[Digit]

went first on this one. Obama can respond.

[Tree-Hugger]

102. I'm not watching

I'm sitting in the supermarket parking lot like a creeper, waiting for my husband who is inside buying me pita and hummus.

I have butterflies in my stomach? What happened to me? A decade ago, I couldn't care less about politics. I hated Clinton. Now, I bow when I see Clinton on tv and I get all nervous like when POTUS is debating.

I will be checking in here to see reactions as this is a calm and zen place for debate updates.

Go get him, Barrack!

263. Romney is just talking without saying anything.

[Snarkoleptic]

265. Mitt is stammering and breathing heavily.

He also has a habit of clicking his tongue when he's beginning a thought.
Kinds of like a single tisk from tisk, tisk , tisk.
Makes him sound like a large clicking beetle. (without the personality and likability)

291. Bob really loves Mitt! Gives him far too much chance to blather. President is great!

[Alleycat]

292. Time is about equal according to CNN timer

... in fact Pres Obama is getting a bit more. Mitt is running out of things to say so he delving back to the economy. I think that is why his speaking time is shorter.
