Ted Kennedy vs. Mitt Romney - "My opponent is multiple choice"

[TroyD]

Should Obama's debate team take some pointers from Ted Kennedy? Let's remember that Ted Kennedy DEFEATED Romney. He knew how to debate Mitt.

1. Let's face it Kennedy is a much better debater.

I don't remember Obama being this bad tho.

3. I just sent a copy of this to Stephanie Cutter & Debbie W-S

Not sure whether it will help, but I hope Team Obama studies Ted Kennedy and is ready to go nuclear on Mitt if necessary.

5. good job.

Although I suspect they have all those past debates. It didn't seem like Obama was well prepared. That's part of the difficulty of being an incumbent. Romney holed up for days at a time preparing for the debate. Obama didn't really get a chance. I think that changes going forward and he'll be well prepared for the next two. He's got a good campaign, we have to trust in them. But I was really disappointed and demoralized at the performance today. He let 150 million+ people down tonight.

2. yes, he should have been more agressive and hopefully next time he will be.

4. Ted

Would probably be so disappointed in this 2012 version of Obama. I wonder if Obama even watched that debate.

6. I've been studying Romney's previous debates for months

That's what you should always do with an opponent.

Learn what techniques they use and what their strengths are.

Learn from others who have debated them.

I'm going to be disappointed if Obama's team hasn't even studied the Ted Kennedy debates with Romney.

If anyone on DU knows someone on the Obama team, please pass this suggestion along.
