It didn’t take me long to figure out the Romney strategy tonight. Don’t get overly aggressive. Show that you’re competent and avoid the bitterness that marred the second debate.
Why?
Conservatives love to see this charlatan in the White House beaten down like the fraud he is. Independents and the squishy middle undecideds? They want solutions. they want to feel comforted that the guy they are about to vote into the White House can answer the 3 a.m. call in addition to fixing the economy.
Romney did just that.
More importantly, he cross-footed Obama’s debate prep - Obama was already for a Benghazi attack from Mitt, which failed to arrive. Then, half-way through, Mitt pivoted to the crucial role economic strength plays in foreign policy, and just built on that to the end.
While I would have preferred more bomb-throwing, too, I think Mitt’s approapproach was smarter...
I agree! It is that we detest obama so much we want to see more ‘kicking him in the butt’ - ‘the boy’ is 4 years overdue on a major spanking. Romney did it earlier and we loved it and did it, also, at AlSmith’s charity event. So anything less than that is a disappointment.
NY? If you are in the 17th district, vote for Frank Morganthale - the GOP put RINO Carvin to oppose Nita Lowey - http://frankmorganthaler.com/ is the real deal, the TeaParty choice.
