6. Poster Ikonoklast is following me around from post to post, accusing me of being a troll

for stating what most people who saw the debate have concluded: Romney won. He doesn't use the word "troll," but it's the same accusation. Is he following anyone else around?

An attempt to silence opinions.

Long time supporter of Obama, I am. Before anyone else was in this forum, that I'm aware of. I contributed hundreds of dollars to his 2008 campaign, and I've contributed to his campaign this year several times...the last time was right after the debate.

But yes, it was not a good night for Obama. Romney was allowed to spout lie after lie without challenge. Obama was off his game. However, as I've said before, I've seen every one of Obama's debates. While he is a great orator, he is not a great debater. His manner of speaking (thoughtful, thinking, pauses) doesn't lend itself to that. Still, he has held his own in MOST debates he's been in. Last night was not good.

For the stupid undecideds, who don't know facts, they don't know that Romney spouted outright lies all night.

Having said that, it's one debate, one night. Not the end of the world or the campaign, and certainly won't cause any Obama supporter not to vote for him.
