The next debate is in "town-forum" format and you just know that we are going to see the return of pony-tailed guy, or some variation thereof, caterwauling about what the government needs to do for him.
In this debate, we will likely see Romney challenged on the "47% video" as well.
The good news is that Romney will not exactly be marking time. He'll also have time to prepare and improve and he'll bring the confidence that he gained in the first debate. So any improvement on Obama's part should be offset or even surpassed by the further improvement we will see in Romney.
I think Romney will have adequate responses for whatever they throw at him and he'll have some zingers of his own.
In fact, I have the perfect zinger for him...Romney should bring up all Obama's broken promises including his 2009 proclamation that he would be a "one-term president" if he didn't turn around the economy in three years.
Romney should then look at him and say "Ironically Mr. Obama, this appears to be the only promise you are going to be keeping."
Me like.
