You should be watching the same channels I am and Romney’s ad presence has picked up considerably...
Just now on Hannity, they said that Romney had started increasing his ad buys.
They also said, and I agree with it, that Romney wiped out the benefit of Obama’s pre-debate ad avalanche.
Will Romney do as well and Obama as poorly in the next debate? Someone on one of the Fox shows said today that the next debate will be town hall format (maybe it was O’Reilly) where they get audience questions like “what’s your favorite color and why?”
I doubt the audience questions will be that bad, but sometimes they’re real puffballs, and sometimes they are clear attempts at “gotcha”. I also believe the audience is a good proportion of plants from the liberal networks.
So, will Obama get away with walking around, smiling, joking, and giving flighty answers? He will if the format doesn’t permit Romney to respond to Obama in any substantive way.
