for his campaign.

The spin on the next two debates are going to have to be similar to really chip it down.

I think it still remains that the only question is the margin, and with it, what the Ds can to keep or even pickup senate seats and how many house seats they can pickup.

Still sucks Obama didn't bury Romney and Republicans last week but it's still an uphill climb for Romney at this point..

Unfortunately it isn't. The GOP will continue to make it an issue.

But they are trying to use Libya and foreign policy against Obama as evidenced by Romney's foreign policy speech today.
