[Sean]

And she just allowed Romney to break the rules.

 

[Ishmael]

And Obama is trying to do an 'ole Joe.' Pretty obvious already that the moderator has begun to violate the rules in order to feed talking points to Obama.

Romney: "Gas prices!"

Obama: ZING!

Awesome.

LOL, I have witnessed it happening many times.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Obama has lied 6 times I the first 20 minutes.

Romney is killing them.

 

[Wrong Element]

What did I say last Wednesday? The side that's getting whipped starts blaming the moderator.

Romney has been legitimately bitchslapped a couple of times up there. Like, he's Tyson to Willard's Michael Spinks.

 

[Bidin~Time]

I'm so relieved to know employment in the coal industry in on the rise. Wait til I tell my neighbors!

Blaming??? Are you a moron or what? Romney is more than holding his own and Obama is beginning to sound angry. Even with the moderators violation of the rules I see no significant swing in momentum.

Oh, Obama dropped the "Big Bird" line. *chuckle*

Ishmael is workin' hard to establish the "Romney as Victim" meme early tonight.

Rust never sleeps.

Employment in the US coal industry is the highest it's been since 1997.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Coal producer Alpha Natural Resources said Tuesday it's cutting production by 16 million tons and eliminating 1,200 jobs companywide, including 400 with the immediate closing of eight mines in Virginia, West Virginia and Pennsylvania.

The mine shutdowns start Tuesday, while the rest of the layoffs will be completed by the end of the first quarter after Alpha fulfills current sales obligations, Chief Executive Officer Kevin Crutchfield said. In all, the layoffs amount to nearly a tenth of Alpha's 13,000-person work force.

Alpha said it is closing four mines in West Virginia, three in Virginia and one in Pennsylvania. They are a mix of deep and surface mines. All the mines being closed are non-union operations.

Alpha didn't immediately name the mines because they wanted to inform all the workers first.

Though some miners will stay on to seal the operations, most will either be reassigned or laid off immediately.

Support positions will also be cut proportionally as Alpha reduces its operating regions from four to two, Crutchfield said, and two executives will retire Nov. 1.

Crutchfield called it "a difficult day," but said the shutdowns and layoffs are a necessary part of ensuring Alpha survives in what has become a difficult U.S. market, where coal companies face a dual challenge: Power plants are shifting to cheap, abundant natural gas, while companies like his face "a regulatory environment that's aggressively aimed at constraining the use of coal."

As time goes by Obama is sounding angrier, more petulant, and whiny. He's showing poor self control.

Of course you do. But who started bitching to the moderator about time keeping?

Started? That would be Mitt.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Romney is telling many bold faced lies. Looking forward to the fact checking report card.

The wingnuts are already finding excuses for Romney's loss. Who's surprised?
