The moderators will have their long knives out and the majority of the “folk” may be ringers, but Romney’s team trained him well.

My worry is that the town hall debate will be wall-to-wall abortion and gay marriage, with a little 'war on women' thrown in for good measure.

Unless Romney is really on his game, look for the moderator and the "folk" to kneecap him on the social issues while they circle the wagons around Zero.

Could be . Mitt will respectfully tell them he disagrees and keep his eye on the bigger prize. Those who don’t want the govt dolling out their dollars for
Someone else’s personal responsibility and decisions.

All he has to say on “gay marriage” is “It’s a state issue.”

As for abortion, his stance is “middle of the road”.

As for “war on women” he needs to say “War on women? Unemployment among women since obama took office is 25%. Working women need jobs. Sounds like the president is the one making war on women. Maybe he wants them to sit at home and bake cookies. I want them to be in the workforce with the same opportunity as men. In my 25 years of business experience I’ve hired (state a number) women as CEOs.”

I bet Team Romney has war gamed that scenario as well as any others likely to develop. They will duck the sucker punch and turn it around on Obama in a way he doesn't anticipate. Romney will make the chair look like a jerk and do it with a winning smile on his face. Obama will be no wiser after his beating last week while Romney will have filed away useful info on his opponent. Romney will work harder and smarter to get ready. Obama will wait for his handlers to give him a secret weapon that doesn't exist.
