Obama's #1 debate goal?

[Mponti]

It's less about facts and more about provoking Romney into a temper tantrum that shows Romney as unsteady, impulsive and hysterical. Voters need to see him as high-risk for that 3 am phone call.

[TBF]

1. I can just imagine that 3 am phone call -

and it's pretty damned sad when you hope Queen Ann or Taggert will be there to take the call, because they are the sane ones in the family.

2. That is such a good point

It would be a really good thing to show 60 to 70 million US citizens just how petty Romney really is.

3. Hold the line on Bengazi. Try to talk as much as possible about Iran, where Mitt's position is scary

4. I agree. Obama always looks presidential. rMoney never does. Show the contrast.
