I watched every minute of it, and I actually enjoyed it. Obama sounded like he thought he's stroll out, smile, and spread a little of his usual BS around and everyone would drop to their knees. Mitt came out to kick ass and did. He jumped Obama so many times I thought the secret service was going to grab him. At times BHO actually looked angry, staring down at his podium, while Mitt told him, "Everything you just said about ... is completely inaccurate". He didn't look too happy when Mitt told him that the 90 million or billion (whatever- silly numbers) he gave to the alternative energy companies was 50 years worth of subsidies given to the oil companies and that half his pet projects went belly up. No one has spoken to the Anointed One like that for 4 years. He was incensed.
Mitt Romney is no prize, but like McCain said, if it was a fight the referee would have stopped it.
I'm more than a little interested in seeing Ryan try to have an intelligent conversation with Biden. That should be rich.
