You are all missing the point. The Rust Belt might very well vote for Romney, especially if he explains what he really believed about the auto bailout and that his proposed plan was exactly what happened in real life.[/i] And even if Romney wins the next two debates, it's not a guarantee that he wins the election. In 2004 it was agreed that John Kerry won all the debates, and he still lost. And all the signs I've seen, including the polls, suggest it will be a close election. I say that it's a 50-50 chance for either candidate winning. But I will admit, this campaign seems eerily similar to the 2006 gubernatorial election in my home state of Michigan.
I doubt.
Romney response to the Auto bailout is convoluted(and wrong btw) and a mess.
