6:32 PM PT: That guy standing awkwardly in the middle of the debate stage. That guy, his name his Mitt Romney.
6:34 PM PT: Obama brings up the 14 percent tax rate. Feels like a warm up to the 47 percent. "We haven't heard from the Governor any specifics beyond Big Bird and eliminating Planned Parenthood how he plans" to pay for his $8 trillion tax cut and spending plan.
6:35 PM PT: Obama: "You can't buy this sales pitch. Nobody who has looked at it who is serious believes it adds up."
6:35 PM PT: Romney: "Of course they add up." Wow, great argument dude. Now he says ran businesses and the Salt Lake Olympics so believe him.
6:36 PM PT: Oh and now he attacks Obama for the deficit. Keep in mind, Obama has reduced the deficit from the level that he inherited, as large as the deficit is.
6:37 PM PT: Romney now says his $25-$50k deduction cap is his official policy—it's no longer a suggestion, it's what he says he would do. So now, policy wonks, let's score it!
6:37 PM PT:
WOW: "Of course, it adds up." Mitt Romney just called every reporter in America a fool.
