Blinders Full of Ca-Ca

Okay. You know what I'm going to write: Mittsky's now-infamous latest tongue-slip - this time from last night's debate: "Binders full of women." That's right. Visualize that comment. Did he mean little blue binders filled with lotsa Little Women scrambling around in a binder, wanting to work for his gubernatorial stint in Massachusetts, or women bound in a bind over how to NOT work for him? Whatever, there went whatever gains he made with women from the First Debate.

Is that man real or is he Vintage Memorex (running on aging recording tape for those of you who do not know what I'm "saying")? Binders aside, he certainly has to be playing Ann's darling Dressage Horse while wearing blinders when wifey and husby get giddy and role-play around the house(s), otherwise, where do these ridiculous remarks come from? Obviously the man doesn't "see" very well; hence, Blinders Of Ca-Ca.

Now on to the Most Important Part Of The Debate: The Moderator, Candy Crowley. Wow! Are Mittsky's peeps more than a bit irked at her because she dared to correct Their Man over his slippery use of Quasi-Non-Facts? Miss Crowley didn't stop there, either. She sent both The Prez and Mr. Once-Perfect to the corner of the room from time to time. Now that's how to run a debate! From now on, based on how well Martha Raddatz did in her VP Debate Moderation, I think women should own that role for a while - just to even-out the lack of women in that position for almost ever until this year?

What about Obama's performance last eve? Thank the Lord Almighty-Righty that someone replaced his run-down batteries so that he could, in effect, trounce over his opponent. Pundits. et al, are talking about the "Alpha Male" attitude he exuded, as well as how he and Romney seemed to almost come to blows with their literal circling of each other as they roamed the stage. What I find so odd is how the Male Pundits are suggesting that such behaviour would be a turn-off to women. Say what? In a general sense, most women want to see "their man" stand up for himself and for them if, for some reason, they don't have the ability to speak for themselves. In fact, The Pundits reciting the idea that it might have been too "rough and tumble" for the wilting flowers of women's delicate sensibilities must not know any Alpha Women. C'mon, guys. We can take it. Perhaps you guys can't? No one who was disappointed in Obama's First Debate wanted to see another round of Mr. Polite and were cheering for him in the ring to knock The Insincere Smile off Mittsky's face.

Did Obama win last night? Yes, particularly when he began to "warm-up" in the last half. He begins slow, then builds to a stronger Sense Of Self as debates and speeches go on. It seems to be a pattern. At first I felt that it was close to a "tie" - however, when he finally found his fire and, thankfully, mentioned Romney's 47% comment, in my view, he walked away with the trophy. Last night. We have one more evening on the horizon of watching Mittsky and The Former Mr. Polite slug it out next week.

That debate, my friends, will be The One to linger on the minds of Undecided Voters; thus its overall importance. Right now we have a reasonably even score. Romney won the first; Obama finally showed-up for The Second and did his job, thus "winning" last evening. I only hope that next time Mr. Obama will answer questions in a direct manner, rather than skirting a few issues, and that Mr. Romney will cease lying and changing his position on almost everything when it suits him politically.

But, am I asking too much of these politicians? We shall see, as I often write/say/snarl/whisper. You know what "they" say: "Three times' a charm."

Have a wonderful, scintillating, day/evening/afternoon/late night/early morning.
