And he pulled off a tactical coup by coming right out of the box to undo millions of dollars’ worth of negative ads that painted him, personally, as Gordon Gekko — rapacious vulture capitalist who doesn’t just lay off steelworkers but kills their wives...
The Romney campaign had let these ads go largely unanswered. But a “kill Romney” strategy can only work until people get to see Romney themselves. On Wednesday night, they did. Regarding the character assassination, all Romney really had to do was walk out with no horns on his head. Confident, smiling and nonthreatening, he didn’t look like a man who enjoys killing the wives of laid-off steelworkers.
Not a very high bar, I admit. But remember: It’s President Obama who set the bar. And succeeded....
As to the policy, Romney finally got to explain to the 60 million Americans watching that he intends to lower taxes across the board, particularly for the middle class. As for the rich, he got to explain the difference between lowering tax rates and reducing tax payments. He repeated at least twice that the rich would continue to pay the same percentage of the tax burden, while lower rates would spur economic growth.

And then they see Obama — detached, meandering, unsure. Can this be the hip, cool, in-control guy his acolytes and the media have been telling us about?

Dr. K, from your lips...
Let’s just hope he doesn’t do what the Browns did and blow that 2-touchdown lead.
The socialist democratic frauds on the left were living in the fantasy land of skewered polls and political spin where obama was going to win the election. After the American people got their own unfiltered look at Romney in the debate he now has moved ahead in these skewered polls. It ain’t 2 touchdowns, it’s 49 to 0. So long Obama it ain’t been nice knowing ya.
I hope we stay on offense and protect the ball. There is no room for any fumbling.
“Romney ahead by 2 points.. still within a field goal... 27 minutes (days) left in the game..”
And Buckwheat’s team is on the democrat one-yard line, with 99 yards to go for a touchdown. Buckwheat has two broken legs, his earplug is hanging out his nose and the teleprompter says “Punt!”
