Not that Obama is not prepped, but this Media so wants that Horse race they may spin gravity to fall up instead of down. Also, I doubt Ed and Tweety have learned from their mistakes in whipping up those undecideds.
So, If he loses, do we give up?
HELL NO!
Debates are one thing, but it is not like Mitt cannot and will not make juicy Gaffes. The man cannot help it. However, we know that the media will keep saying "it's over, it's over It's over!" because they want you to stay home.
If I wanted a debater, I could find a number of high school kids. I want a leader...
And nothign willstop me at this point fromdoing everything to make sure that we do NOT get Willard Shit Romney instead.

(1,727 posts)Mitt and Ryan are all performance. The President believed there would be a debate. One cannot debate with someone whose positions/policies are ephemeral/illusory. In "debate no. 2", Obama will play the part of the Cheshire Cat.

Even if Obama does an average job it will be such an improvement over the 1st debate it will look like a win

(1,935 posts)I'm not sure what format will be used tomorrow, but Biden did the right thing in HIS debate. You can't let conservatives "stack" their lies. You have to react immediately to each one, either with a correction, a laugh, a smirk, or whatever. Also, don't allow FALSE EQUIVALENCE, like Romney's "trickle-down government" nonsense.
