During the first presidential debate, Mitt Romney and Barack Obama found more common ground than you might think, coming to an agreement on a basic idea:
Shutting Jim Lehrer up.
Watch this skit from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and watch the two candidates go off on the PBS moderator, who was criticized for not controlling the event last week:
Snoop Dogg has already endorsed the President, so his political preference is not news ... but this pro/con list for the two candidates is still hilarious.
Predictably, all the "cons" belong to Mitt Romney and not Barack Obama:
The list was actually created by someone else (@DragonflyJonez) but re-posted by Snoop, and pretty much speaks for itself, even if there are some duplicate entries.
Beyonce and Michelle Obama. Enough said.
Election 2012:
Former Vice President Al Gore is blaming the Mile High altitudes of Denver, Colorado, for President Barack Obama's debate shellacking last night ... seriously.
Whether it will be the game changer he needs to win the White House is an open question, but Mitt Romney won the presidential debate by almost all accounts.
Obama apologists have offered various excuses, but the most unusual comes from Gore:
The first presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney was won by the challenger, according to more than 12,500 THG readers.
Even the typically pro-Democrat celebrity crowd took notice.
During the most tweeted-about U.S. political event ever, President Obama got his fair share of accolades from stars, but Romney's strong showing couldn't be ignored.
Some choice celebrity reactions after the jump:
The first of three 2012 presidential debates has come to an end.

Beyonce and many other female stars make their her choice in this election clear in a new PSA. In their mind, reelecting President Barack Obama is the way to go.
“He has the story that I can tell my daughter [Blue Ivy] because it shows no matter where you start out, you can work hard and can do whatever you put your mind to,” she says.
“It’s not just about supporting the President because I want to see him reelected. I’m standing up for the future of my daughter - the future I want her to see.”
Barack and Michelle Obama married October 3, 1992.
A lot's changed for them since then, you could say.
Now-President Obama and then-Michelle Robinson had their first date in 1989, at the Art Institute of Chicago. They had lunch, and walked down the city's Michigan Avenue.
Richard Hayes, a City of San Diego sanitation worker, is the unlikely star of new campaign commercial paid for by a labor group supporting President Obama.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees says the ad is a response to the Republican presidential nominee's controversial 47 percent comments.
