I am curious to see which Mitt Romney shows up at the debate. The one who favors abortion or the one who doesn't. I would hope Barack would talk directly to Mitt and ask him which side is he on: on the side of the 47% or the 1%. one who is for or against gun control. And off course that famous one: which tax loophole will he close.

And most important of all. He needs to demonstrate that he passionately stands behind Obamacare and why. All the good things that is there in it. It is not enough to only admit that there is room for improvement.

If Barack slapped Mitt around in Debate 1 many may say the 'black guy beat up on the white guy'.
So he let Mitt lie like a rug.


I hope that's the case.

What I wonder is just how strong support for Obama is to be so effected by one debate. Given the reaction to the debate, it feels very, very soft.

Whatever he did, it didn't work. Obama could have knocked Romney out of the race right there. Had he won, the money for Romney would have dried up and it would have been over.

But by his weak performance he let Romney back in the race, as well as many downstream Republican's on Romney's coattails.

The group he most needed to win over, the independents, saw him as weak. He and his advisers should have anticipated that.

But he also lost ground with the women and all he had to do there was articulate their cause. No angry black man there. Just common sense.

Obama blew it dude, plain and simple.

Usually you are the best at figuring this stuff out?
