Romney so misrepresented his record in Denver that it will be hard for the former Massachusetts Governor to walk it back tonight because Romney will be lying about his record to a room full of voters.
Much like the first debate, GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney will win the second debate as well but on a much smaller scale. The reasons for the second win in a row will be quite different on the surface but will be much the same beneath the surface.
The Obama campaign's thinking – or non-thinking – that America will be distracted by Big Bird when there are so many other really important issues involving real people is nothing more than an insult to every Americans' intelligence.
When it comes to America's future, the issue of education rises to the top for many which is why Obama and Romney were asked to weigh in on it as well.
Vestiges of the economy also were found in the second question in the CBS Local Presidential Forum on their view of the role of the federal government.
There was a moment in the debate that will be discussed in the days ahead that everyone missed until yesterday. A review of the debate tape reveals that, apparently, Mitt Romney needed a cheat sheet to keep the lies straight.
As usual, President Barack Obama is passing the blame. On the campaign trail in Denver on Thursday, Obama was spreading the blame around for his pathetic debate performance on Wednesday night against GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney.
While Michelle Obama was complaining to the media that yesterday wasn't much of a 20th anniversary for her and her husband, Mitt Romney was planning his anniversary gift to be presented on the national stage – a slam dunk performance in the first presidential debate against the basketball-loving president.
Wow.......was that impressive. As evidenced by my previous ramblings on this up-coming election, I was concerned about the first Presidential debate. Holy crap..........not any more......was that good or what?
Only the most ardent Obama loyalist could have watched or listened to that debate and not noticed the glaring difference between the energy level and preparation of the two candidates.
Like Reagan's cautious approach to the debates in 1984, Obama knows he is the president. Obama was the cautious champ, picking his moments and more concerned with overplaying his hand than winning every point in the first meeting.
Obama has many challenges to winning tonight's debate, but having Mitt Romney as his opponent gives him a path to victory.
Is Mitt Romney planning an October surprise of sorts for tonight? Has he been saving big policy announcements and details for the debate?
Romney – the challenger – will be incredible. Obama – the incumbent – will be damaged. The question is, how severely he will be damaged?
Yes folks, it could be later tonight when the world learns whether BHO still has the charisma without a teleprompter, or whether Mitt has the onions to look BHO in the face and say "Mr. President, your administration has been the biggest failure in American history since the Carter administration back in the 70's, there's nothing about it any candidate could run on and by the end of the night tonight, America will understand that."
If you bring anything close to an open mind to this debate, I think you may be surprised at what you hear, given the junk food that's been peddled to you for years now about both men.
Preparing for this debate has got to be the most depressing thing Obama has ever done. He must be staring at facts and figures that he can hardly believe – and then realize he has to defend them come Wednesday night – with his biggest critic, Mitt Romney – and the nation – staring at him. It's going to be terrible for Obama.
