As I had to say over and over to my “red-meat” buddy last night, Romney had one MAJOR need: that the “undecided” and the press be unable to get a claim of “war-monger” to stick today. Mission accomplished, and meanwhile Romney’s strength, the economy, was continually discussed.
Instead of Romney bringing up Libya, etc., the Dinosaur Media is spending all day today bringing up that, and similar opportunities Mitt had to attack Obama, but refrained from doing. This is using -bama’s strength against him.
Political Jiujitsu.
Brilliant.
The press, and certainly 0bama, had prepared text available to respond to Romney attacks. All that time and thought went for naught, and they are left to talk about what he could have said! Meanwhile, -bama is left spluttering and wondering about the whole debacle, and the “undecided voters” were left able to choose Romney in an atmosphere of peace instead of worry. Oh - a side effect: if Obama now pulls a “wag-the-dog” attack, it will absolutely DESTROY him, instead of having a chance of helping him.
LOL
Political Jiujitsu.
These three debates of Romney (+Ryan) will be studied by political analysts and campaign advisers for decades to come.
Look for the last-gasp effort to be abortion/ Mediscare/ queer marriage redux by -bama.

Add student loan “forgiveness.” The next generation will be relieved of their debt to their colleges, only to have it replaced by larger debt to the Chinese government. It will be a bigger debt because 0bamacare nationalized the student loan industry so that the interest on that debt would help defray the costs of 0bamacare. Without that revenue stream, 0bamacare will cost more, so more borrowing from China to pay for 0bamacare, too. Today’s college kids will have to pay it, not me. I’ll be dead and won’t care. Also, the debt will be unfairly “redistributed,” meaning that the college kid with $80,000 in debt gets more “forgiveness” than the kid with only $10,000, but they all owe the same debt to China when the loans are “forgiven.”
I’ll bet very few of the college kids who are bribed this way were ever taught the critical thinking skills to think this through.
