Once again ... your pst doesn't support your thread title.

I don't think he is trying to "pull a fast one". There is a difference between the primaries and beyond. I don't think Mitt ever did particularly well so I don't really see the debates being any advantage at all for Romney.

Q </div></div>


Within moments after the debates, both sides will claim that their candidate won.

The fact that the president is trusted by more people than Romney is, and that the majority of people still know that most of our economic problems were caused by Bush, and the Repiglilcan blank check congress, and the fact that President Obama, is far more well liked than Romney, by the most people, all of that supercedes anything that will happen in the debates, IMO.

I happen to believe that Romney will do what he always does, and put his golden foot squarely in his mouth, and Repiglicans will spend a week trying to deny the insult which the rest of us clearly knew he was saying.

Either way, he isn't going to win the election. People do not like, or trust, Mitt Romney, or Paul Ryan, on either side of the political isle.

Nothing Romney can say will destroy the very strong leadx that the president has at this time, and additionally, the Republicans have the lowest approval rating of any group. they are not only going to lose the election, they are also going to lose a lot of seats.
