Some of the conventional thought tonight was that Obama was laying in wait, for Romney to make a mistake on that topic. Then when Obama couldn’t entice him into the trap, probably where Obama’s best material centered on, I think Obama got frustrated.
I tell ya, I think Romney’s tactic may have worked far better than I generally would have thought it would.
I think Mitt saw the polling that shows more people believe O has incorrectly handled Libya, and figured why get into a “ Clintonian” debate where O would
site intelligence failures, and deliver his Axelrod/focus group tested DEM voter response.
To me Mitt was going for the broader “ you failed policy “ picture and I think he
painted that well
I tend to agree with you, but there is the chance we’re just so hopeful of an Obama crash and burn, that we’re overlooking some negatives.
Romney left a wealth of negative things to talk about, on the cutting room floor. I sure hope his team is smarter than I am. So far I’m certainly not convinced of it.
