Boy, I'm full of women! #debates
by Mitt Romney via twitter 10/17/2012 1:51:38 AM
The choice is clear for the next 4 years. @BarackObama's policies will drive up middle-class taxes, produce fewer jobs t.co

Press file handed printed transcript of the debate so far. Hofstra FTW.

See how Mitt Romney and his allies would roll back women's rights in your state: t.co #SketchyDeal

Obama voter tells Obama he's not as enthusiastic any more.

Next question: "Mr. President... what have you done to earn my vote" again this year?
by CNN's Ashley Killough 10/17/2012 1:51:58 AM
At a Republican presidential primary debate in January, Romney said he was in favor of "self-deportation," a policy that involves making economic conditions so difficult for undocumented workers that they choose to leave the country to find better opportunities.

Ready with comeback @BarackObama says GWB never proposed medicare voucher or planned parenthood cuts. #CNNdebate

17 of Congress' 100 Senators are women. If 51 of them were women, we wouldn't be arguing about women's reproductive rights. #debates

I love this #CNNDebates voter approval line. Nearly every time Romney interrupts, it goes down.
by Gregory Wallace, CNN 10/17/2012 1:54:11 AM
"The commitments that I've made I've kept," Obama answers, "and those that I haven't kept, haven't been for a lack of trying."
by Ari Fleischer via twitter 10/17/2012 1:54:20 AM
I hope this won't be the 3rd debate in a row that O gets more time.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 10/17/2012 1:54:41 AM
President Obama has spoken for nearly five and a half minutes longer than Romney so far, according to #CNNDebateClock. #CNNDebate
by Jim Acosta via twitter 10/17/2012 1:54:41 AM
Romney after Obama response to same man: "I think you know better... if you elect President Obama you know what you're gonna get."
by Ari Fleischer via twitter 10/17/2012 1:56:00 AM
This soft spoken listing of O's broken promises is devastatingly effective.
by CNN's Ashley Killough 10/17/2012 1:56:25 AM
Obama jabbed Romney for saying he'd "get rid of" Planned Parenthood. Romney made the comment in a March interview, but his campaign has since said the Republican candidate meant "defund" not "eliminate," as the president wouldn't be in position to "get rid of" Planned Parenthood because it isn't a government entity. politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com

so far, Obama controlling the debate better than Romney. he has 6 more min. Romney very steady. Not unacceptable GOP #cnndebate #cnn2012
by Piers Morgan via twitter 10/17/2012 1:57:15 AM
Romney's attack on Obama's record is as compelling, and detailed, as Obama's defence of that same record. #PMTdebate

Romney: Have you looked at your pension. Obama: It's not as big as yours. #CNNDebate
by joseiswriting via twitter 10/17/2012 2:07:18 AM
@mittromney: sir, I am not self-deporting. All 11 million of us without papers are not. We want a fair process.

Romney: "Mr. President have you looked at your pension?" #CNNDebate
by Jim Acosta via twitter 10/17/2012 2:07:22 AM
Is the town hall audience still there? I can't look.
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 10/17/2012 2:07:30 AM
A lot more zingers in this debate. Now comparing pension sizes. #CNNDebate CNN.com/DebatesLiveBlog
by Ari Fleischer via twitter 10/17/2012 2:07:32 AM
Big mistake by Obama to attack Romney on the size of Romney's pension. Cheap shots don't work at this level.

Obama: It's not as big as yours. #CNNDebate

Smart move by Romn to broaden Libya question into criticism of O overall MidEast policy.

Obama on Libya: "I'm the president and I'm always responsible."
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 10/17/2012 2:14:46 AM
"She works for me. I'm the president and I'm always responsible," says Obama of Clinton's comment.

Did Obama say he wants to put "daylight" between U.S. & Israel? Fact check: www.cnn.com #RTFacts #CNNDebate #debates
by Erin Burnett via twitter 10/17/2012 2:15:15 AM
When #obama said "I'm always responsible", he got highest marks on #libya. Way above #romney. #cnndebates
by Jim Acosta via twitter 10/17/2012 2:15:16 AM
Obama: The suggestion that anyone in my team would play politics or mislead...is offensive.
by CNN Religion via twitter 10/17/2012 2:15:37 AM
No religion questions and 15 mins left. But this is when Catholicism + abortion came up with @PaulRyanVP and @JoeBiden at last week's debate
by anamariecox via twitter 10/17/2012 2:15:41 AM
"Buck stops here" answer all well & good but at some point we should look closely at that buck. Libya "intelligence failure" not going away.
by Gregory Wallace, CNN 10/17/2012 2:16:21 AM
Obama makes eye contact with Romney: "The suggestion that anybody on my team -- whether secretary of state, U.N. ambassador, or anyone on my team -- would play politics or we mislead when we lost four of our own is offensive, governor."
by Soledad O'Brien via twitter 10/17/2012 2:17:46 AM
Wow, question abt guns. Audience questions are really solid.
by Piers Morgan via twitter 10/17/2012 2:17:48 AM
Incredibly, Obama seems to have won the Libya exchange. Romney's stumbling let him off the hook there, big time. #PMTdebate
by CNN's Ashley Killough 10/17/2012 2:18:00 AM
At a hearing last week in Congress, Republicans insinuated that Obama's administration was responsible for a lack of preparedness ahead of the attack in Benghazi on September 11, which killed four Americans, including the United States ambassador to Libya. politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com
by Steve Krakauer, CNN 10/17/2012 2:24:45 AM
Sounds like it might be Libya that people are responding to above.
by Piers Morgan via twitter 10/17/2012 2:26:03 AM
Obama's had 4 more minutes. And clock running down fast. #PMTdebate
