It's worth watching the Romney/Kennedy Debate

that is posted here on DU. I just did and it crystalized some of Romney's weaknesses: he talks too much and too fast and he is all over the place. That debate was years ago but Romney still sounds like the "Music Man". He's taken so many inconsistent positions over the intervening years that he's going to get caught. Obama just has to be thoughtful, focused and relaxed.

He cannot be coached. He trusts no one's judgement except his own. Sort of like being his own lawyer...

Apparently that will be his approach to his debate with Obama. As they say, he is relying on spitting out 'zingers', nothing of substance.
