    Iran mentioned 43 times, Israel 31, China 30, Mali 6, and Europe 1. Conclusion? Mali is 6 times more important than Europe.

    Who lost the debate? Foreign policy, because there wasn't enough of it discussed.

    Loved when Bob Schieffer quoted his mom: "Go vote, it makes you feel big and strong."

    Mitt: "I love teachers." Somewhere, Big Bird is searing with jealous rage.

    Seriously, where is the foreign policy? We're talking about the economy now. This is not a foreign policy discussion.

    This auto industry thing is getting heated. Someone needs to check Romney's binders. #debate

    Did Romney just describe his own own auto policy (which would have led to liquidation) as "the height of silliness." Hm.

    Obama seems suspiciously knowledgeable about foreign affairs for someone born here #debates

    Unsurprisingly, Obama says Romney knows about shipping jobs to China because: "You invested in companies that were shipping jobs overseas."
