This year's Presidential debates will be entertaining, if not a complete bloodbath.

Since Mittens seems completely incapable of making a case about why anyone should vote for him without resorting to outright, blatant lies.

Obama will dismantle him like an Ikea bookcase.

4. Me too. Unfortunately, the MSM always reported that Junior won.

[arbusto_baboso]

7. Yeah, that's the real problem.

2. Romney will try not to participate

Maybe he will hire someone to debate Obama for him.

5. I'm guessing Mittens will decline to debate....

"I will not let the liberal media decide this nation's future based on gotcha questions" said Mitt.



If he shows, BHO will eat his lunch and dinner.

[Wait Wut]

8. If he doesn't...

...he'll be destroyed in the media. He's got to show or he'll look like he's afraid of our President. Which he is, obviously, but he can't appear to be a spineless dweeb. He needs to show the country that he's a brave, unintelligent, flip-flopping, out of touch, moron.

6. Seems to me that nowadays, the point of the debates is simply to avoid screwing up

I don't think there's much a candidate can do in them to help themselves, but they can hurt themselves. Rick Perry tanked his campaign pretty much on the debates alone. Newt whipped the crowds into a frenzy and has nothing to show for it. Romney seemed to concentrate on not making any gaffes and it pretty much worked for him.

I noticed while watching 'Game Change' that the Palin team was proud that they prepared her enough so that she didn't blow it. That seemed to be their only goal.

11. Romney said he wants to debate Obama.

I can't wait for that. Obama will beat him down I am sure.

[IggleDoer]

12. Rmoney will complain that Obama was picking on his family

They way he said that being born with a silver spoon was an insult to his dad (who gee him the silver spoon) or the comment about his wife not working was an insult to all motherhood.

The repubs will lap it up. They want to make it look like a Blah person is picking on poor Mittens
