I wonder how many traps Obama will set for the Mythster to fall into Monday night? I don't know that Mitt will want to go to the economy, as UE Rate keeps going down. Then the debate is supposed to be about FP, Mythster is "real good" at that. Hmmm....
The main problem with Romney (aside from everything else), is that no one knows what they're getting. He ran Massachusetts as a moderate. Even left to the center at times. However, you have to be a moderate to be a Republican and be elected governor in Massachusetts.
Since he started running he has adopted a lot of far-right rhetoric. Which he had to since he was actually competing against people like Rick Perry, and later Rick Santorum. And there is nothing to the right of Rick Santorum.
Now he's moderating his positions he took in the primaries.
So no one knows what the hell they're getting. Republicans don't know. Democrats don't know. No one does.

We know we are getting a man who has been a devout and charitable member of his church, a devoted family man, a man with a JD and an MBA from Harvard, a successful businessman and best of all ............ we know HE'S NOT OBAMA!
America today needs a businessman running the country. Not a career politician.
A CEO's/businessman's job is to make sure the shareholders make money. A President's job is to uphold the Constitution for the good of all, not just the rich.
The shareholders in Romney's case are his contributors.
So, he will put his contributors interests above that of the people.
Oh, and had Romney won the senate race in '94' he would be a career politician. And Paul Ryan is already a career politician, who by Romney logic, does not even qualify to be president.

I'd beg to differ. Both Romney's parents were politicians, and he took the career path with the most rapid, direct path to huge wealth, so he could prepare for his career as a politician.

I think a person with power needs to be a moderate and makes decision base on the information given to him. I think its wrong to only look at that negatively. Based on his past, I'll say that he's someone that can be convinced one way or the other and will change his mind depending on where the "wind" blows. This can be bad or good depending on the situation, but definitely better than Obama's stance now in shoving everything down the oppositions' throats.
