The debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney which occurred in Denver could be the game changer of the 2012 election, just as the first confrontation between John Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1960: Romney failed to play by the Obama play book, which had depended on the scenario that Romney would somehow be the stereotype that the Obama campaign had painted him during the months and months of negative ads, which had cost them $150 million: Romney had been portrayed as a mean spirited elitist, a latter day Gordon Gecko: but Romney came across as a affable, polished and passionate and Obama denied the cocoon of the left-wing media and his handlers, came across as amateurish and small in stature: those folks at Obama headquarters’ must have felt like throttling Romney for making them look like liar’s. The campaign will be punctuated by two more presidential debates and one vice presidential face off: there will be plenty opportunity for Obama to regain his footing in either or both the Hempstead (October 16) and Boca Raton (October 22) face-offs, as well as the Al Smith dinner on October 18: but Obama was knocked off his script in Denver, which could turn out to be his “Waterloo” and Romney was seen as the person he truly is, by millions of voter’s and not the stereotype he had been portrayed by the Obama machine: the result is that the President’s credibility could have been sufficiently damaged, as to render all further campaign ads slamming Romney as ineffectual: the critical Independent voters could have been swayed by Romneys' arguments. There is one other caveat that the reader’s of this piece should be mindful of, according to Karl Rove; in every election except 2004, the independent voters have broken for the challenger. So here is a map of my projected outcome of the 2012 presidential election as of November 7.
Romney-Ryan 301
Obama-Biden 237
Lay off the crack. Romney sure can lie on national televison
