James Lipton on Romney: flop sweat. stage fright, no timing, sounded old.

Wow - an honest review.

Frnk Bruni adds: he doesn't seem like a man of the modern world.

Edited to add: on MSNBC Now with Alex Wagner.

1. link?

Will it be up on the website?

2. I agree with Lipton, stage fright deluxe, and of course, Willard is 65 so he's not

exactly young but he sounded ancient, in his dotage even.

4. This should be the take-away from the debate. Mitt is clearly out of his league

and over the hill.

And the sweaty thing. Geez. Creepy.

3. he really did sound old, and not in a wise way

Sort of breathy, like Reagan.

5. Old?

Sounds like he is appealing to the baggers.

6. Read that Willard had a cold/flu

that'd make anyone sweat.

in case you think i'm defending him: fuck willard romney.

8. Someone asked about his white tongue last night too.

I had said a first guess would be either dehydration or sucking down echinacea coughdrops.

9. I always used to get "sick"

before a test I wasn't prepared for.

7. After the beat-down he got last time, you bet he was scared!

He was like an amateur boxer about to get into the ring with Ali.
