I seriously believe there are some paid callers on c-span after the debate. [View all]

One of the first callers wasn't articulate enough for me to believe he actually watched the debate, nor did he sound like he was speaking his own mind. He said he was supporting Romney because Obama didn't do all he wanted him to do, but then later he couldn't decide between Romney & Obama. The caller added that he was disappointed the Libya question wasn't asked. He quickly added, "Well, maybe it was the first question & I didn't get to see the first question" -- as though he were being cued by someone. It didn't flow in a sincere way.

Just seemed weird.
