But Obama won.

And I refuse to listen to Mitch's final remarks. What is it about republicans that makes me want to vomit? Really, I need to throw up.

Should be interesting to hear how he hopes to accomplish that, seeing as how he doesn't have an honest bone in his body.

Romney couldn't stand up to someone who has actually been running America's foreign policy. Which he obviously didn't take into account -- Mitt sounded like a little kid with a under-researched book report.

Anne Romney looked better than usual in the dark green, though. That pink thing from the last debate was too much for Anne. Michelle looked great in her pink jacket dress, however.
