Romney made a major gaffe yesterday. Polls should reflect his downward slide once again.

Just sayin'....

And it is the abortion issue - a very hot topic for Republicans and Democrats.

And Obama should be on the attack from the townhall debate from the beginning, not even letting Rmoney interrupt Obama until he completes his two minutes (and more), and then once Rmoney makes a lie, Obama reserves the right to interrupt Rmoney and correct him on his lies.

1. the shapeshifter would most likely go first this time

we need to know who goes first and who goes last

strategy is big time different on both sides depending on that

we also need to know WHO the people who ask questions in this town hall are.
and who supplied them with questions
(and when they did.)

Ya know the show "The price is right&quot CMON DOWN)
The people picked are known in advance before they hit the studio itself.
It is not happenstance. It is pre-known.

we need to know if there is poison ivy lurking in the questions asked.

btw-Candy Crowley is not our friend. Remember this 2 weeks or so from now.

2. "Shapeshifter".. the definition fits mittLies to a Teabag..

A weak-minded individual who bends their personality in order to befriend certain people. This person usually has very low self esteem and feels very insecure about his or her lack of accomplishments in the world or about just being his or her self.

3. If a gaffe falls in the forest and nobody hears, did it happen?

So far, I haven't seen the abortion flip-flop get more than cursory coverage, and that more of a nature.

How is this news anymore?

The term 'shape shifter' doesn't even do him justice anymore. Romney literately vibrates nowadays.

9. Please, no more "liar" talk. Mitt is confused

The response to Mitt lies is all politicians lie. What's worse is a confused person whose wife has to tell Obama to stop picking on my boy.
Would you vote for a confused wimp?

10. Re: POTUS' next debate is on foreign policy. He needs to use opening statements
Wed Oct 10, 2012, 07:12 PM

to refute Rmoney's position reversals from the last two weeks. I said this earlier because a woman's right to choose is not FP & for that reason within the format he must use part of his opening statement to rebuke Rmoney's lies. It's not Jim Lehrer moderating, & Candy ain't gonna let them ignore format since she is the first woman moderator in HERSTORY to moderate a Presidential debate. Just sayin' .
