Without that filter the people saw the real Romney and we have seen the result in the polling. Obama will present nothing new to change any ones opinion of him which has been formed over the past 6 years including the primary races.
The very best Obama can hope for is a draw save Romney committing some monumental gaffe, which I doubt will happen if he simply sticks to the issues and keeps hammering Obama’s record.
Romney was better each time during the Republican primary. Obama is on the ropes and desperate. The MSM is desperate too. The MSM will not want to see their invention called Obama to fall apart.
