pres debate #2

They'll both smirk a lot and talk over each other.

My prediction is Obama will bag on Romney for Bain Capital.
Romney will then say something clever about Obama's business experience...  <crickets chirping>

I'm sure Obama will do better this time around, but no matter how aggressive he is or isn't it will still be challenging for him to avoid the last 4 years.

I'll be watching for signs of deception (which of course, with politicians, some would say include breathing, having a pulse, etc.) but funny enough, check this out:

I have never seen someone blink as much as Mitt Romney.  It will be interesting to see if the rate changes after possible fibs/exaggerations.  To keep it "fair and balanced," I'll have my blink sensors on the President as well!  

That's funny I have seen a number of studies that say lying cannot be determined by "blink rate"  there are many factors that are indicative of stress but that does not mean one is lying just that one is in a stressful situation.  That, or that one's contacts are dry.   Junk science is nothing new in newspapers though; sorry CD you will have to look for another indicator.

If you read the link it had more to do with changes in blink rate than the overall blink rate itself.  It was just more of an interesting observation than a "gotcha" type statement.  (4 blinks, uh oh!)  

This one is one foreign policy so not sure those will show up as much...(except "look"... "look" is Obama's "like"... that made no sense..)

If you really want to get drunk look for the "Clinton thumb"

I'm curious as to what the over under should be on lies?  I'll say 12, a dirty dozen if you will. Which one will tell more lies?

If you make this a drinking game, please arrange in advance to take Wednesday off.

Will Obama explain why our unemployment rate is 40% higher today than he said it would be WITHOUT blaming Bush? I predict NOT.

I do predict that he will attack Romney for paying taxes that he was legally obligated to pay and no more.

Big Bird won't be an issue brought up by either side.

The War on Women will be an issue.

Obama will promise to give millions of people free stuff so they will vote for him. Why wouldn't you vote for RobingHood?

Wait... I thought he was too busy running the country to prep?

It's almost like you said that seriously?

Again indications of stress are not equivalent to indications of lying.

(o _ o) Staring contest first one to blink is a rotten egg!

That was the ex-navy seal I do believe. This is the ambassador's parents.

Dude... I have not seen that LMGTFY yet. That is pretty cool.

Ya, I almost fell over when that was suggested as a possible reason. It wasn't held at the top of Pikes Peak.
