Ryan anticipates Romney defeat in debate
“President Obama is a gifted speaker,” he said. “This is Mitt’s first time on this kind of a stage.”
But, he also said, “I don’t think one event is going to make or break this campaign.”

I love it!
he's had so many debates ...
Ryan no doubt believes in Citizen United, where dollars are voters. And their dollars outnumber the registered voters, so they believe they should win. As if our lives and our nation are nothing but chips in a high-stakes poker game. Their idea of democracy is collecting dead presidents to run for the office of POTUS. Or the other version:
Lyan Ryan, as usual, is spinning. It won't be that President Obama is a gifted speaker that wins the debate, he's talking about salemanship, not the ideas being offered. Actually, Obama is not that good, with tone, cadence, timing, etc.
Salesmen are very good at that, not intellectuals. Obama's pattern of speaking shows he's always thinking about the big and small picture, not the means of persuasion. He puts his ideas out there for people to accept or reject, as the puts himself out there to be accepted or rejected. Or in this increasingly vitriolic climate, killed for daring to speak against the RW meme, period.
Obama has said America must choose between the two different visions of the future being offered in 2012. There are many Americans who are set against government intervention to help other people even in the mildest forms. It's foolish to deny that, no matter how much we liberals are offended. And they are voting against our vision.
Obama is going to lay out his vision, as the DNC convention did so well, showing how many have benefitted from our philosophy of governing.
The right and Romney and Ryan will attempt to sell the nation on privatization to the point there is no government left to oppose the private forces that Roosevelt warned us about. We are a long way from those days, and the conservatives have amassed the grassroots and organizations they have paid to make their fascist system work.
It's happening state by state, not just in Michigan or Wisconsin or Florida and Texas. The push is all over the place.
Obama will make the case for a government of the people, Romney and Ryan will make the case for corporatist rule. Let's see what the American people want. There will be no buyer's remorse later if the R/R team makes the sale.
Ryan is worried Obama's populist message will sell, but not about Romney. Dogwhistles will be used during the debate along with many zingers from Romney and Ryan when he gets his turn. Obama won't do that.
Let's just hope the American people have gotten wise to this.
