new part of the political correspondent for talk radio news service he was at
the second presidential debate yesterday a house for university he joins us today
brown not in a very matrix like agents smith look
from a the republic top in brooklyn incredibly so luke
let's talk first about the perceptions of the debate we had in supposedly had a
kind of social media activity
and then after the fact people can watch it on the internet the whole serene
summaries in newspapers do we have kind of a to other two-sided
uh... two different groups in terms of how these debates are consumed
developing it how opinions vary based on that
i couldn't help but feel that as i sat inside the media filing center which was
uh... filled with about four hundred
journalists
uh... so many of them premature still silly unfair tweak tax interests are
sending out instantaneous commentary on the debate keitel a clear it
heading in nineteen sixty moment again for anyone who's a
political junkie this is when nixon debated kennedy of those people who are
watching and television uh... overwhelmingly thought that kennedy won
the debate because it is that looks nixon carried all those people harmful
radio and i keep thinking unity four eight twelve years ago
mit romney could say something like uh... well when i went out looking for a
an appointee as governor massachusetts they probably binders full of women
maybe that comment would have served on under the radar but now i saw that room
of thrill journalists laid out that as soon as a comment like that gets dropped
in their in our snarky commentary world before of immediate lee looking to see
who just purchased that domain name binders full of women dot com a you know
anita said uh... but we want to give women flexibility in the work force so
they can uh... you know it's sort make dinner at home all the things were
picked up immediately
and i think it may be a curious watching on television at home
and you fall asleep in wake up and pick up a newspaper
you might've thought romney did a little better and polls uh... on pc bite
sort of show that he did better but the overall winner was still uh... brock
obama focus of talk about that a little when some of those funny lines happened
yesterday like for example
the uh... the binders his binders full of women
and then also we do know women need to be able to sometimes we want to be able
to be home and make dinner because of course that's what women do uh... what
else was there and you know the libya thing was why i thought was was romney's
weakest moment where he really just self-destructed
what was it like i mean did was their immediate realization from the press
group that was there that while something interesting this happened or
did it kinda take awhile to filtering
uh... everything was very instantaneous exceed the moment where the
the sort of laughter or of the press corps
our reach the people is that when all bomb and
money we're talking about their pensions and i miss caps a new obama ability or
pension ability api
pigeon up for the first few seconds obama was looking up the moderator into
smiling right many usaa a little uh... you notes which dot
click it and
uh... obama looked around me and said uh... with you know wealth
yours as a lot better than mine
uh... and at that point but just the whole media center started laughing and
you realize it's those sort of turning points in the debate which again if the
if you're in a quiet place just watching on television and you're not going to
two cents that uh... the entire had behaved really journalist court unites
states is in a room where everyone's laughing i mean it really does change
the way that for the people who are writing about these track debates uh...
talk about the debates in the days after and i think
get her rom in that regard let's talk a little bit about uh... candy crowley the
moderator in initially within thirty seconds fox news was criticizing out
candy crowley for saying
you know that the questions were biased and she was hat getting to involve for
example when she can put back technet romney
at the same time know some of the moments that i think
her romney the most were worship when she didn't get involved
and latin romney talk directly to president obama which for some of the
moment of running really buried himself so
what's the sense about about the candy crowley's involvement
right it's the old adage that you're going to vote for someone who you'd like
to have in your living room for the next four years and i think
it was those times when
candy crowley sort of let that let the candidates go at it a little bit more in
looking at a transcript here
and this worthy keeps popping up is crosstalk here at the secret sort of
basically
so that they were so many times during the debate where they were just yelling
over each other and in those points it sort of force romney into taking none
i kind of negative domineering energy that i think people in one of the living
room at all as sort of more reminiscent of people have said if i kind of a boss
you don't you don't want to work for you took on this kind of
i run this place uh... let me try to play by the rules and candy crowley in a
few instances even had some great the court's receipe says it's i'ma
surrounded at six at not exactly what the rules are around here it's not
michael cucina really structured quite like that right so but i think it
it sort of christian arab the persona that was so evident in that first debate
where even a journal buyer do get pushed around a little bit
histochem romney to task in miami wasn't being uh... i wouldn't say rude
necessarily but he wasn't pushing the limits too much on the debate rule no
empire that was his handler jim lehrer was so absent from that debate that
there was not really given an opportunity to push him around because
it was just kind of like a potted plant there
they're very different situation here for sure
last thing i want to touch on and after the debate ac started reading online
that in this state room it was all democrats into the republicans just were
and basically missing-in-action i can't imagine that that's really the the case
was with the explanation for why that may have been circulating what's not
really the case what happened was the debate ran about four per minutes over
time
and right before of the hour of ten thirty which is on the day was scheduled
to end all the obama surrogates came out that i said about uh... maybe
you know twelve fifteen about at at the very beginning
it wasn't until the debate actually concluded maybe a full seventy eight
minutes later that the romney surrogates came at a spa sensibly they were
listening to the final minutes of the debate
before coming out with their talking points so yes i'd said maybe up to ten
minutes of time
uh... minute and at half the time when they're the most viewers and people
watching
an min
and uh... that that's uh... it it's all happening thinks with his always
