There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations

before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Obama please use this as a template to tear Romney a new asshole.
We are leaving in 2014. Period.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXkI1sTDoEgWe spend more on our military than the next nine nations combined. I think we can afford to cut some military spending without worrying about someone attacking us. Ryan is full of shit with regard to his "weakness" comments.

Amazing that Romney wants to cut PBS. He ought to be sending the News Hour champaigne.
I think Lehrer has rubbed shoulders with the powerful for too long; just a stenographer to power like Tim Russert was.
Interesting to see how Ryan justifies staying in Afghanistan. Oh, a pullout date "broadcasts a calender to our enemies" for when to swoop in and attack.
Ooh, WOULDN'T WANT THAT! BETTER STAY FOREVER
I'm a skeptical squirrelIm watching CNBC broadcast at the moment, no bull, and watching the Twitter feed
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXkI1sTDoEgThese stories are both devoid of actual content and are getting a bit grating. Your grandma isn't running for high office Pauly.
I've always found CNN relatively balanced... or spineless and totally focused on style over substance when they report on anything.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.@Rationalinsaity
Indeed
Quit B Sing us with shit about your grandma and people who probably hate how you're politicizing them.
And Biden is back on the attack ^^
On another note I'm watching the MSNBC feed of the debate.

Biden really should stop with the smugness,he wasn't nearly this bad 4 years ago.
Really we'll just be open a little bit? We already have a Navy that can dominate almost everyone
