Second term presidential debates are always problematic for the incumbent...

For the last three and a half years or so, the President has been surrounded by people who defer to him in almost every aspect of his life.

No matter how much they train and prepare the President, Obama is still going to be deferred to. No one is going to tell him that sucked, Mr. President, do this.

It's just the nature of the beast.

Knowing the President like we like to believe we do, he will be much better prepared for the last two debates.

And I know this has been mentioned several times today, but Romney has had how many debates to practice....

And he's enough of a realist to know that he has to be stronger next time....

He will be.
