while he prepares to get through the debates without stuffing his feet into his mouth or stomping on his tongue too badly. That's a pretty tall order for him and I think that will likely take up most of his time.

Whether he does anything after the debates depends entirely on whether he does well or poorly If he does poorly, appearances are likely to be perfunctory and for friendly media.

I think he's never lost at anything in his life except his bid for the Senate against Kennedy. He believes this job is his for the taking. He probably wonders what the heck is going on that not everyone agrees. How dare they. I don't pray but I'll make an exception: I pray that he's crushed in November; annihilated, destroyed, massacred, buried by 90% of the votes.
Too high, I know, but still...I can dream. Kaboom.

That smirk on his face this morning shouted "Yeah, I've nailed that little SOB now. Nailed him good."

I look forward very soon to a new version of Hitler's "Downfall" with a script appropriate to Romney's campaign.

How quickly this whole thing has moved to the pathetic stage. Just two weeks ago, it looked like a real race.

If it turns out that these attacks were planned, he is going to try to resurrect his campaign by railing against Obama's mismanagement of every single thing in the world, and attempt to pin these deaths on him.

Watch.

Tbh, I'm surprised he didn't put out a press release to that effect already tonight.

The guy is officially a punch line. Any attempt to do what you're suggesting (and any OTHER candidate could probably pull that off) would be seen as yet another craven and crass attempt to blame Obama for everything. In a way, Mittens has virtually inoculated Obama from that sort of thing.
