One of the reasons why liberals were so shocked by President Obama's disastrous performance in last Wednesday's presidential debate is that it ran completely counter to what they expected based on one of their most important fictional experiences. And that fictional experience was when "President" Jed Bartlet wiped the floor of his Republican challenger Ritchie ("richie" get it?) during a "West Wing" debate episode. You can see Bartlet destroying Ritchie as completely scripted by Aaron Sorkin in his liberal fantasy below the fold.
Since that fictitious debate has served as a liberal reference point as to how debates between a Democrat and Republican contenders for the presidency are supposed to turn out in real life, Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has invoked the spirit of Jed Bartlet to advise Obama in preparation for the next debate. One can only conclude that Dowd must have accidentally ingested some magic mushrooms because her fantasy Jed Bartlet advises Obama to prepare for the next debate by resuming smoking, appear condescending, and calling Mitt Romney a liar.

Mack-daddy doesn’t have enough credibility to call anyone a liar and get away with it. He’ll come across as lacking policy answers and going personal.
Great wordsmithing! Describes our 'pimp with a limp' Occupant to a T.
By doing it. The press will run cover for him. Obama will have to do something like this to try to push Mitt back on his heels. The fact that it's a lie won't matter. All that will be needed is for Obama to raise his voice and look stern. The press and spinners will then swoop in to gush that the "real" Obama is back and that he put Mitt in his place.
The Obama campaign is no doubt trying to come up with a few "goldilocks" zingers. Not too hard, not tool soft.
If Obammy goes negative like the left wants, Romney needs to call him out and egg him on to get meaner - drop the mask. Calling him on race baiting - pitting people against people would set him and the racists off big time.
Americans don’t really like haters when they are exposed and opposed directly. Just as Newt disarmed the liberal media by confronting, the liberal racist is beheadded. Is that the only way socialists can win - envy and race hate? We don’t need more thugery and crime. We need team USA and success.
