Really looking forward to the next debate
Predictions are cheap, but I think we'll see a very strong President Obama lay blame for the recession on the Bush policies, tie Romney to Bush much more strongly, humorously suggest that Romney is a liar, take credit for the recovery, inject a few notes of optimism (based on the new jobs numbers and stronger consumer confidence) and clearly outline his economic plan for the future. He will do this with energy, smiles and confidence and he will win the debate. In my opinion, the optimism and a comparison of the Obama plan with Romney's is of the utmost importance.
I expect Romney will again trot out his Reagan act, it will fool some people no doubt-- I hope Obama tells the audience to look closely at Romney's eyes and see if he really cares about you, because Romney's expressions are often off kilter, there is little empathy there, only ambition.
If these things happen, this debate will fundamentally change the momentum of the election for good, and the polls will follow.
