Not surprising ... you con's have always had trouble handling the truth.

Swiss Mitt needs a big performance tonight ... or he's in big trouble.


Wouldn't it be hilarious, by the way, if Swissy has a Rick Perry-like "Oops" moment in the debate?

OMG if that would happen??? Mitt can't afford an oops moment, he has TOO much pressure riding on this debate. If he has moment like that he will be known as the loser presidential candidate that won't go away. When he loses this election, I truly hope he gives it up and gets the message that his party is clearly trying to convey--THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU MITT ROMNEY ESPECIALLY THE 47%!!

I agree. We know what they are going to say already. They will declare Obama the winner no matter what, because they are "in the tank" for Obama.

Juan Williams says Obama is going to tell how much better off we are today. In other words, he is going to lie. No wonder; his record is of failure. All he can do is lie!

I doubt any one candidate will crush the other, tonight. They'll both be well-briefed / prepared and ready. There could be some mis-speaks, confusion on answers and I wouldn't pick at that too much. It's a pressure-packed event for these two. I hope they keep to the format and instead of digging at one another personally or telling falsehoods ... they honestly discuss the issues and their positions about them.

Sounds right to me

"The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Sept., 27-30 among 1,001 adults, including 828 registered voters, finds that by a 51%-29% margin, more voters say Obama will do better than Romney in Wednesday’s debate."

He should with Rick Perry as Romney's debating coach.

Discussing the issues? I'm not holding my breath.

I was at a Senate debate a few years ago with Al Franken, the Republican contender, and the Independent. The only one to address the issues was the Independent, the other two just spoke broad talking points and said what we wanted to hear. I would have voted for the Independent candidate if the race hadn't been so close because I genuinely disliked the Republican.

Here is to a good debate!

By lowering expectations in that way, they can do a decent job and come off looking surprisingly good. Both parties do it.
It makes plenty of sense. The Obama campaign could care less about the actual poll, why it was conducted, or what it's results are. The real intent here is to impress upon the populace....not Barack Obama....that the President will blow Mitt Romney out of the water, thereby producing a narrative that fits in with the broader suggestion that Mitt Romney doesn't have a chance to win this election.

These types of polls aren't aimed at the candidates....these are aimed at the apathetic pawns who lap it up and to coerce them into drawing a conclusion where none is to be found.

False again, the ACA is popular amongst americans. Keep in mind Willard's Romneycare is what the ACA is based off it.

It's not based on Massachusetts. And poll after poll shows it is unpoular. In Ohio there was a vote to ignore Obamacare. 87 of 88 counties voted to get rid of it. This was the same day that the unions turned out record numbers to overturn SB5. Democrats don't even like Obamacare.



We were losing 3/4 of a million jobs a month when Obama came into office and he turned it around to 30 straight months of positive job growth. We still have a long way to go, but Obama has done quite well even with the GOP thugs abusing the filibuster like no other congress in history, trying to sabotage absolutely everything they can that would better the nation in a childish attempt to make Obama look bad.

Unemployment is higher now than when Obama took office. And perception is what matters in politics. The perception is that Obama has not a clue about the economy. Unless you're some kind of moron.



The iowa state fair is hardly any kind of way to assess voter opinion Not to mention their poll didn't include Paul, who won the state in the primaries.

Iowa doesn't have a primary.
Class Dismissed.
