In a very good mood this morning because of Romney’s spectacular performance.
Romney won the debate both on facts/data/content and style/presentation. His victory was so dominant and overwhelming that even the media and Obama’s campaign can’t deny it. So what will Obama do? He will attempt to convince people that Romney won the debate only due to style/presentation. They will hit this hard for the next month in the hope that when people reflect on this debate as they decide to who to vote for, they will forget that not only did Romney destroy Obama on presentation but he also killed him on substance. “Obama just had a bad night”.
How can Romney combat this tactic? Pick out the most damning segments of the debate where Romney killed Obama on data/substance and turn them into ads that play over and over again in Ohio and Florida.
Romney was much better last night as it relates to getting rid of the smile/smirk when his opponent is speaking. He did look right at Obama much of the time and, contrary to what I thought before the debate, it worked out well for him.
Would still like to see him completely eliminate the half-smile when Obama is talking.
