Mitt Romney has turned into such a skilled debater that he could trounce President Barack Obama in their three head-to-head encounters in the run-up to the election, former Democratic Labor Secretary Robert Reich believes.
Romney is going to be debating somebody who is not nearly as good a debater as his reputation, Reich tells Atlantic Magazine in its September issue. He says that under live questioning, Obama can seem kind of wooden and at a loss for words.
Even if Romney is scripted and not spontaneous, he will come across as on his game, Reich tells the Atlantic. The danger for Obama is that Romney can still look better than Obama, if Obama does not have the same degree of discipline about the debates.
Reich, now Chancellors Professor of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley, was quoted in an extensive article in the Atlantic by its longtime national correspondent, James Fallows. The magazines report was based on an examination of tapes of Romneys debates throughout his political career.

Smartest man in the room - unless Biden is there too..
I pretty much agree, but I’m going to have fun anyway. ;^)
Hey Biden is twice the man Reich is. LITERALLY!!!
Reich is very short. His big goal in life was to make five feet. He failed. He’s 4’ 10” tall. Height isn’t a big deal to me, but it fits his stature. He’s a little man, and I use that term loosely.
Shorty is right but the republicans will allow all the lefty so called commentators to control the debate, throw hard balls at romney and flowers at zero
Has the obamamedia declared Barak the winner yet?
Pray for America
Of course you’re right, but for a moment I thought another Clintonista was putting a dagger in dear leader.
After Gov Palin’s endorsement of Romney, he should somehow bungle through to the presidency...
