Right now, I think the Obama camp is working Libyan damage control more than this debate. We will see.
Hope he does bring up Bain. Romney will turn it against Obama just like he did when he brought up Romney-care. 53% of americans do get what the free capital markets are all about. Romney should provide some specifics. Talk about how he took failing companies, invested money, and created jobs and wealth for 100’s of thousands of employees. And he should say, that Bain created net more jobs than Obama has in the entire US economy.
People are looking for leadership. Bain can be a very positive for Romney as it shows executive leadership and job creation. The Bain attacks were not the reason Romney was behind in August. 60% have said for months the country was on the wrong track. But yet Romney wasnt leading the head to head poll numbers. It’s because they didn’t really know who he was. That changed in Denver, and now Romney is seen as a very credible alternative to Obama.
Romney will be ready and have a very good debate. The debates in and of themselves do not determine the election. It was what Romney was able to demonstrate unfiltered by Obama and the MSM that has changed this race. I doubt Obama will do as bad as the first time. But unless Romney makes some major gaffe, the trajectory of this election is moving toward him more and more each day.
