   When will CNN realize that making a Cooper/Morgan/Cooper primetime lineup is really just a sh1t sandwich?!

   OK what the Obama campaign is doing right now is VERY embarrassing. I mean I’m a hardcore democrat but if Obama and his campaign don’t seem serious to win then we might as well just let Romney win.

   I can’t believe that Obama’s campaign is letting Two Face get away with all the lies ! on top they come out with that cheesy Big Bird ad.

   Where is the FDR warning in the dems ads ? Why don’t they point out Romney’s hypocritical positions by his own words flip flopping from one position to another? where is the hit on the 47% comment ? where is the hit on the “behind closed doors” comment ? where is the hit on the ” let Detroit go bankrupt” comment and where is the hit on the “Anglo Saxon” comment ?

   I mean tic toc what is it now, 27 days to elections ?

   Good numbers. Fox seems to have picked up a few viewers from the debate and are hanging on to them.

   @coffee Steve. They need bigger coffee cups, I had forgotten how much I hate these shot glasses for coffee cups they roll with here.

   Food portions are low and prices are high, club sandwich, soup, coffee, 100£ around $130.00. Yikes!
   Explains why people are so thin here.

   @applestinx. You talking about perhaps why at the Four Seasons Hotel there is over 40 Middle East channels and only 11 US/UK channels. Something like that? There are movements within London and Paris to preserve there iconic and historic qualities and not allow the influence of $$$$$$$$ of the ME to have negative impacts on tourism and culture. Ask Ratboy about Dearborn Michigan, from the 1980?s to what it looks like now.

   @ Coffee Steve

   I agree. I wonder if O’Reilly got a few converts from the Jon Stewart “debate”. His numbers seem unusually high. Are his 25-54 #’s any better?

   Looks like MSNBC is back to eating Fox’s dust. Their immature behavior is hard to watch/take. Just caught Bashir accusing Romney’s kids of calling Obama a child, which the video he supplied had not one word of it. They need to stick to the facts no matter how ugly it looks for their candidate. You definitely do not see this childish behavior on Fox. Ryan should be questioning Sheriff Joe on the whole Benghazi incident. Joe has so much Foreign Policy experience he should be able to explain what the heck happened.

   I was expecting higher numbers for FNC in primetime compared to Monday when football was on, but 3million+ for Hannity on a uneventful day is not normal. He had Bob Woodward (he’s been on Hannity a couple of times already lately) and who else?

   @Bill

   They are up from the pre-election cycle, about 2 months ago he started rising, and I think he may have got a from from the Steward debate

    More offensive then mentioning Big Bird, ya think?

    On Tuesday, Romney spoke to supporters in Iowa, recalling a chance encounter with a former Navy SEAL while mistakenly attending a Christmas party in San Diego a few years ago.
    “I met some remarkable people, one of whom was a former Navy SEAL,” Romney said. “I just learned a few days ago that he was one of the two former Navy SEALs killed in Benghazi. It broke my heart.”
    Romney didn’t directly provide Doherty’s name, but his campaign later confirmed his identity. He was one of four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, killed during a violent assault on the consulate in Benghazi last month.
    Boston’s WHDH later reached out to Doherty’s mother, Barbara, to get her reaction to Romney’s campaign trail anecdote.
    “I don’t trust Romney. He shouldn’t make my son’s death part of his political agenda,” she told WHDH. “It’s wrong to use these brave young men, who wanted freedom for all, to degrade Obama.”
    Doherty similarly decried the politicization of her son’s death in an interview with the Boston Herald last month.
    Glen Doherty’s friend, Elf Ellefsen, also spoke with Seattle’s KIRO, expressing similar disagreement with Romney’s mention of his friend’s death.
    According to Ellefsen, Doherty found his exchange with Romney to be “insincere and stale.”
    “Mitt Romney approached him ultimately four times, using this private gathering as a political venture to further his image,” Ellefsen told KIRO. “He kept introducing himself as Mitt Romney, a political figure. The same introduction, the same opening line … [Doherty] said it was pathetic and comical to have the same person come up to you within only a half hour, have this person reintroduce himself to you, having absolutely no idea whatsoever that he just did this 20 minutes ago, and did not even recognize Glen’s face.”
    Romney had again made mention of his meeting with Doherty in the wake of these reports on Wednesday during a town hall event in Ohio.

    DEEEEEEE..AAAAM!! Hannity and OReilly are burning them up!!!!

    As this Bengazi thing gains steam so will they even more! The Five is for REAL and here to STAY!! Incredible numbers!
    Put a fork in Matthews hes done! by this stage of the election he should have a lot bigger numbers!! but I think the way MSDNC handled the first debate showed all just what they are and it has REALLY hurt them because they shoul all have a lot bigger numbers this close to the election!

    Why MSNBC’s The Cycle Will Shape The Future Of Cable News

    by Noah Rothman | October 10th, 2012

    When MSNBC launched The Cycle in June, there was a dearth evidence that a roundtable program with several consistent hosts could be successful. That The Cycle seemed to be attempting to introduce more cerebral topics into their program – interviewing various authors and experts to discuss issues that may be worlds away from the topic gripping the news cycle at that particular moment — made it appear even more unlikely that this show was destined for the cable news hall of fame. My reservations have proven unfounded. The Cycle has, in short order, shown itself to be an informative, entertaining and provocative program that will reshape how future news network executives will program their channels.

    Tingles: We got our knives out.” Dee Dee Myers jabbed him about his reaction to the debate. Tingles did not look amused. What a weenie!

    Watched Carney con Blarney and the gang at the State Department lie threw their collective teeth today. Romney is a liar?

    What did the President know and when did he know it?

    Early Start/Starting Point numbers up–close to 300—still terrible numbers.

    * Too Many sheep have wandered away from the shepherd *

    Attn: Democrat Kool-Aid Drinkers:

    Mitt Romney is not a flip-flopper. He is not trying to put something over us.

    Mitt Romney is saying the same things now as he did during the Primary season. Here’s the big difference: You were hearing outright lies about what Romney stands for and his record from the Administration. NOW, that 65-million potential voters have heard Romney for themselves last week, the only thing the Obama Team could throw against the wall is that Romney lied and he’s done a ’180′. It’s not what was said by Romney before that differs. It’s the lies the Dems put out by Obama that is in contrast to what Romney promised during the debate.

    I swear the Dems think we’re all stupid, including their own party members, to believe that Obama is saying something else. Don’t forget: During the GOP primary season, there were many candidates saying a lot of different things and on the other side, was Obama. Now, that the score has finally be evened-up, people are getting to see more of Romney than they mostly ‘heard of’ by the MSM.

    Now, Romney’s poll numbers are up and climbing. Tomorrow night, Ryan will crush Biden like a bug, Joe will be mumbling his words as he exits the podium and debate stage.
