Hold On, Obama Still Has 1 More Debate ("Everyone seems to agree that Obama had a pretty good week")
The Root ^ | October 19, 2012 | Keli Goff

Everyone seems to agree that President Obama had a pretty good week. His debate performance on Tuesday night was a vast improvement over his performance in the previous debate, but he still has a tough road ahead in regaining some of the ground the polls indicate he lost with voters. So below are the five things he needs to do in the next debate, and in the weeks to come, if he is serious about remaining in the White House.

1. Win Back Women

President Obama held a comfortable lead with women voters for much of the general election campaign. That changed after his lackluster debate performance, with former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney making notable gains among women voters.

With the president trailing Romney with men, the Obama campaign knows that it must win with women in order for the president to be re-elected. Therefore, it is not a coincidence that during the second debate, the president hit Romney particularly hard on his unwillingness to take a stand on the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which makes it easier for women to sue for equal pay. He also challenged the Republican's positions on reproductive rights and contraception access. The president had some help during the debate, with Romney's remarks about having "binders full of women" and making sure his female staff could get home to "cook dinner" taking on a life of their own in cyberspace.

However, the president can't just rely on his opponent to make mistakes and lose women voters. The president has to fight actively and aggressively to win them back, and that includes forcing the former governor, as often as possible, to specify his positions on issues that he is reluctant to broach, among them Lily Ledbetter, as well as abortion.

2. Mobilize Minorities...

If he had a good week, Gallup wouldn’t have him 6 to 7 points down in their tracking poll - TO THIS DAY.

A pretty good week? Compared to what?

It’s been abysmal, and he knows it.

The week SUCKED for Obama!

Gallup has had Romney over 50 for almost the entire week

A Sandra Fluke rally had 10 people

Libya became even more of a cluster-f*ck

How is that a good week?

1. Win back women
2. Mobilize minorities
3. Fight for a few white men
4. Own foreign policy
5. Re-engergize young people

Really? That is SO in depth. Reminds me of the football analyst that says "To win, they' need to score more points than the other team."

“everyone” - laughable - he was snarky, sarcastic, and smug at his appearances, and just ‘not optimal.’ Benghazi-gate is the kind of thing that topples regimes. Monday night - can’t wait!

I'd say this was his worst week....the lyin' SOB...

Pssst...he has given absolutely no clue as to what he will do if re-elected.

Bottom line...he's throwing the election..

If by ‘pretty good’ they mean he’s not down in the polls 15 to 20 points, they might be right.

Well isn't that the sort of "depth" one would expect from this clown? He does whatever his commie puppet masters tell him to do - he hasn't a clue what trouble he is in.

Obama has to convince voters that $8 dollar a gallon gas is a good thing, and he must convince them that working two low paying, part time jobs is better than having a good paying career.
