...and I must say--he is articulate and he can pull himself together and manage to sound like a human being.
Although a few of the things he said were truly repugnant, when he's got a bit of luck on his side, and when he's not coming apart at the seams like a discombobulated fool--he can appear quite "presidential" and intelligent.
I don't think we should be expecting that Romney will fall flat on his face during the debates. These debates are so scripted and rehearsed. He's got his talking points. He's got his barbs that he will lob at Obama. He's spent hours and days on these debates, because he knows that this is it.
And one point--Romney has been such a "rolling calamity" (to borrow a phrase from P. Noonan!) that even a mediocre debate performance will come off as brilliance, to some. The expectations are so low for him, because he's been in hyper-buffoon mode for the past several weeks. Unfortunately, some people will be impressed by an idiot who can be a non-idiot for 90 minutes.
This is far from over folks. That's the bad news. The good news? People begin voting in Ohio and in Iowa (my state) in just a few days.
