Disagree on Mitt as a train wreck in debates. At the very least, he's been skilled enough in these debates to tighten the race to within a few percentage points in polls where O was ahead by double digits, in some cases. I think it's important to see this with clear eyes. Mitt is a soulless caricature, yes, but he's been a deft, quick-on-his-feet, formidable opponent to Obama in these debates, even though the entire thing has been a ruse.
