So that’s a no.
“So that’s a no.”
Definite no.
1. Debates almost always play little role in the outcome of the election.
2. Obama campaign played prevent defense because they believed if Romney didn’t have a big win the election would have been over, so they played it safe.
3. Romney is a very target rich environment. You can rest assured that in round 2 Obama will be swinging with 47%, Romneycare, Mitt’s flip flops. I can write the media’s talking points right now: “Wow Obama was a totally different person tonight, he came out swinging and had Romney on his heels. This was the Obama we know”.
Last night was the equivalent of going up to the line of scrimmage on fourth down trying to pull the defense off sides. If they jump the game is over, if not you call timeout and punt.
