Watch for Republicans to be ecstatic this week on Thursday morning after Wednesday nights first Presidential debate. Romney will move up a few points in the polls. It always happens. If he doesn't move much at all, or falls back to current levels in a week, put it fork in this one. It's done. But I suspect he will get a slight boost.
Romney has had a lot of practice all spring and summer. Each week the Republicans staged a fake debate in order to keep their names all over the media and to be the talk of the airwaves. As soon as it started to die out, there was another one. CNN, a Fox News wannabe, dedicated roughly four hours of analysis the next day after each debate. Funny, the radical fringe wasn't complaining about the mainstream media then. While their faces are plastered all over NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, etc., they are content with the media. However, if there is a fraction of a second dedicated to the President, they cry foul. And it seems to me the media is listening.
Romney tends to gaff big time when he goes off sound byte, so that could happen. My big concern is with the President. And my concern is at three levels. First, he always assumes the public is smarter than they are. He acts as though, "of course, no one really believes that hog wash." But they do, Mr. President. He needs to attack their false claims head on. Secondly, he is too modest about his accomplishments. He needs to overcome his modesty and blow his own horn. And make it heard coast to coast. Lastly, he needs to stay on point and not ramble which he has an occasional tendency to do.
But I'll bet you ten thousand Obama drives the final nail in the Romney campaign Wednesday night.
