“I love that the next debate is foreign policy focused, where Romney will have plenty of opportunity to compensate for failing to score on Libya on Thursday.”
I don’t know; Obama will at least be able to pretend he has experience (even if it is disastrous), while Romney’s background doesn’t have much in this realm. Obama will play grown-up (with the usual trappings: “Let me be clear”, straw men, etc.), and probably point to Romney’s lack of background. Romney has to tie his business experience to the global scene.
That might have some weight if Obama had a lick of experience when he was elected.

Good point. The dims have successful stonewalled most of the details so far on Libya. In the next debate Barry will just not answer the questions and talk about coffins like we saw in the last debate. That puts Romney in a tough spot.
Being ahead, I think Romney will play it safe and not try to trade blows with the kenyan over Libya. Better to attack obama on less emotional issues.
