Presidential Debate #1: You Snooze, You Lose

Mitt Romney pulled through! He was such a good Republican candidate...smilin' and lyin' like a Bush. I'm so excited I might have a drink. Wait, Jesus won't like that. I'll have grape juice.)

FILE - In this Oct. 3, 2012 file photo, Republican presidential candidate, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama participate in the first presidential debate at the University of Denver, in Denver. Both men relished the wonky talk, but Mitt Romney also showed the easy confidence a presidential contender needs _ and a bit of the salesman's dynamic presentation. Barack Obama sounded more like a long-winded professor a little annoyed he has to go over this stuff one more time for the slow students in the back. For viewers the lesson from both was clear: If they crave a real discussion of complicated issues _ not just zingers _ it means some tough going. (AP Photo/Charlie Neibergall, File)

Mitt Romney pulled through! He was such a good Republican candidate...smilin' and lyin' like a Bush. He made us conservatives proud. I can't wait to watch the next one and look forward to keepin' score again. There's so much excitement in the air... who will gaffe next, Biden or Romney? I'm so excited I might have a drink. Wait, Jesus won't like that. I'll have grape juice.)
