I honestly Romney is going to refuse to debate the President let alone be in the same as him.

(3,788 posts)They think there will be no debates because Romney will have so many unrealistic demands so when and if Obama refuses, Romney will play it that the president won't debate him.

(42,700 posts)Did they mention that the dates times and places of three presidential debates and one vice presidential debates and the criteria for participation have already been set. The presidential debates are set up and run by the Commission on Presidential Debates and there aren't going to be any "unrealistic demands" by Romney or anyone else.

(8,556 posts)No adviser would allow that. If he did, it would be a huge clusterfuck, complete with resignations and angry background quotes to the media.
He'll show up.

At least a 486 chip, but even the current fastest chip won't help Rmoney against a human brain.

Of course there will be debates. But, like in 2000, 2004 and 2008, the GOP and media will work hard to lower the expectation on Romney's performance. As long as he doesn't end up drooling on his shirt, some pundits will declare the debate no worse than a tie.
