A lot is gonna hinge on the debates for Mr. Romney.

If this is true then he is screwed.

Not necessarily. They'll be the only occasions Obama will ever have to come head-to-head with his record.

The thing about Gov. Romney is that he's really good at eeking out favourable outcomes at the last minute. When he has to perform, he tends to perform pretty well. Romney is not going to take these debates lightly, and I expect a strong showing from him.

I actually can't really picture an astonishing debate performance out of Obama this time around. His ads and campaign message have been so diversionary... It will be easy for Romney to call him out. Maybe shake the foundations of BHO's personality cult.

The people on this forum aren't the types of people that would fall for the personality cult stuff. But the way African Americans and young people rally around Obama is certainly... unique. And yes--in a certain way, he's got a personality cult among these voters.

As for Romney's ability to eek out wins... He's been good at it this year, and that's what counts. I refuse to believe he lost Iowa. Some results are lost. So basically, thanks to a botched caucus, Iowa is an unknown.

He's performed when he has to perform. Back Romney into a corner and he'll fight his way out.
