Once again, the left is ascribing preternatural brilliance to Obama:

"Maybe Maureen Dowd is right that Obama always pulls back when he’s got an opponent on the ropes and gives him another shot before coming back to finish him off."

Also, doesn't this description of Obama disqualify him for the Presidency?

"Obama does have this habit of drifting in and out that precedes the debate. This sense that he is somehow powerless against the prevailing winds, has recurred throughout Obama’s presidency. I was totally mystified in the run-up to the 2010 elections, for example. Everyone knew a tidal wave was coming. The question was how big. Some effort and fight on the Democratic side might have contained some of the damage. But Obama just largely let it happen.

Similar thing with the debt ceiling fight last year..."

obama is going to go in over-confident and over-aggressive and his nasty side will come through. I’ve seen it on the campaign trail. He starts yelling and talking with that phony drawl and glaring out with those evil eyes. Romney is playing chess — obama is playing checkers. Romney is going to finish him off on Tuesday.

Diminishing returns.

The people that needed to see Obama at his best instead saw Romney kick his skinny ass at the first debate.

The second debate showed a diminished crowd of independents Biden’s insane clown act.

The third and fourth debates are simply too late to make a difference for Obozo...too few of those he needs to reach will be watching. The political junkies will watch, they don’t matter at all.

I hope to see and hear Romney wipe the floor with Hussein's smarmy, arrogant ass.

I hope Romney will not be as accommodating as was Ruan.

I’ve got a feeling that were going to see “the angry black man” routine from Barry on Tuesday night. I think I’ll work late.

Obama will bring his “A” game and probably be hopped up on mental acuity enhancing drugs, contact lens teleprompter aids, and/or hidden receivers implanted in his ears so that information can be looked up and relayed to him during the debate. In other words he knows he has to win so he will cheat. Hopefully Romney has thought of every angle and will be able to take his legs out from under him again.

Notice that the weekend before the townhall debate, Romney is campaigning daily in Ohio, while Obama is sequestered in debate prep in Williamsburg, VA. I understand the suites where he and his crew are staying has a great view of the golf course ;)

I think you're right. And this is in the "town hall" format, which usually lends itself to a more relaxed, casual discussion format. Coming off like an angry loudmouth in that setting will be a mistake, one I sincerely hope he makes.

Romney will get his ass handed to him.. as he’s booed out of the OK Corral...
Because it’s scripted that way..

Romney will take facts to a fantasy fight.. and will be out hope and changed..
Much of America could care less about actual facts.. they want rhetoric..

Thats why Newt would have won but Romney will lose next debate..
EVEN republicans DO NOT want an actual conservative..
Thats why they REJECTED ALL OF THEM in the primarys..

America WANTS the biggest most outlandish LIAR to win..
At least the people in THAT auditorium want that.. INCLUDING the moderator..

Aren't you just a ray of sunshine.

Suppose you take a powder and lay down for a bit.

I'll expect that Romney will continue to do what he does best.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting for him (because it doesn't matter), but the guy is working the solution.

The Republicans need to come out with a commercial with Obama stating he’ll do three years and out if the economy is not fixed.

It’s beyond me why they have yet to run one like that.

Really? So is he admitting that the Dems and MSM were all lying when they said the GOP would make only modest gains in the 2010 election?
