How badly will Romney get whupped?

Scale of 1 to 10... (Win to Landslide)

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Now we know what President Obama is going to do and say.

From, I suck at debating, to the warm afterglow of press praise afterwards...

Here is what Romney will try to do: http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/329019

Of course, he will be pronounced very quickly as the clear loser, or a the very least, not enough of an impression to sway the indies....

I am hoping to see Mitt Romney indict President Obama for his role in the lousy economy. Romney should not be afraid to say that, when the president and Bill Clinton claim nobody could have repaired our economy in the last four years, they are not being candid with the American people. American history is all about men who rose to the occasion in dark times. Romney also has to make the point that, knowing how business works, he can do what was undoable for Obama. I would like to see Romney politely get under the president’s skin. Romney can do this without being rude because our president, from his days with Toots and Gramps to being cosseted by an adoring media, is not used to being challenged. President Obama is not cute when he is mad, and I am hoping Romney will make him as mad as he made Newt. One other thing: It would be risky, but I’d like to see Romney hang the celebrity label around the president’s neck. Let’s face it, this is a man more suited to hobnobbing with the red-carpet set than to being leader of the free world: “I’m not a celebrity, Mr. President. I may never be invited to party with Beyoncé and Jay-Z. I’m not eye candy to anybody but Ann. But here is something I can promise the American people: When our people are in trouble around the world, I am going to be in the White House and wide awake.”

How Obama Won the Upcoming Debate
Timothy C. Daughtry, The American Thinker
October 2, 2012

For seasoned political observers on both sides of the aisle, it is not particularly surprising that the media's narrative for Wednesday's presidential debate has already been written. If Obama were to show up in a clown suit and flip-flops, the media narrative would be that his unconventional attire was a daring and brilliant move designed to challenge the status quo and to reveal his human side, or possibly a laudable effort to make politics more interesting to children. Romney, of course, would be cast as the dull guy who dressed like an accountant and who failed to reach the audience with his talk of budgets and debt and restoring the private sector.

Wardrobe choices aside, by Thursday morning, as long as Obama shows up for the debate, the narrative will be that Obama has closed the deal with the electorate. After that narrative is repeated enough, it stands a good chance of becoming reality.

My Predictions for the coming Debate (you can take these to the bookie).

1. Mercury14, RobDownSouth, Ulaven DeMorte, and Richard Daily will certify (and provide links) the overwhelming ass-whoopin' handed out by President Obama to Mitt the Hapless Romney.

2. Vetteman, KoalaBear, Ishmael and Miles will declare that Mitt destroyed the great socialist and provide links to assorted pages proving their claim.

3. SeanH will create a thread professing his wonderment that Mitt would even show up so unprepared.

4. AJ will post non-committal nonsense about how he is voting for Obama by voting for someone other than Romney, who proved himself unworthy of such a great vote.

Remember the questions we predicted?

Governor Romney, why do you hate black people, women, and mentally handicapped children?

 

[miles]

President Obama, lets talk about our failing schools. How do you and Mrs. Obama face the challenge of raising two young daughters?

#4 is wrong. I am voting for Obama. This will give me the right to criticize him without being a racist and it inoculates me if the Republicans manage to steal the election by fraud for I can then therefore say, "I didn't vote for this."

Additionally, I feel strongly that the electorate is only at the midterm of Equality Economics 101 and are still D students, so there can be no early graduation from the course.



If you are going to throw snark at me, make it factual snark.

ChinaBandit and your good buddy Perg are #4...

So you are voting for Obama in a non-committal way in order to give yourself freedom for snark.

Got it.

It'll be a moral victory for Mitt if he doesn't say something that reminds everyone of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. But he's no better than even money to pull that off.

Our STPs never document or link anything, they simply whine.

Coup d’états come in a variety of forms.

Some are violent with arrogant colonels pointing forty-fives at the temples of their predecessors and blowing their brains out; others are stealthy with the citizens awakening on an ordinary morning to find their whole world has changed yet not a drop of blood has been shed.

The latter is what has happened in America.


We are the victims of a media coup d’état and are currently living under it.

You will see that clearly in evidence on Wednesday night when the debates commence, each one moderated by a member of the liberal media nomenklatura. It is under the guidance of this liberalism, under their own version of sharia, if you will, that the debates will be conducted and Mitt Romney judged.

...

When the New York Times claimed they published “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” what they were really doing was publishing the news they determined was worth our seeing. It was the news their way. It always is, no matter who is doing it.

Then, in 1972, Watergate happened and became a turning point this new class was waiting for. Journalists became heroes played by movie stars. They overcame presidents and were more powerful than kings. Suddenly their way was the way. Competing visions were swept aside or relegated to also-ran status like a token conservative on the op-ed pages of the Times. A certain bias became the bias became “the truth.” Schools adopted this truth and taught it to children as early as kindergarten and as late as graduate school. It became the sub-text or the uber-text of many movies and TV shows.

And a coup began – the coup we are living under now.

It was a slow-motion coup. For a while we didn’t know it was happening. But soon enough it was all around us.

It was so powerful that this year the Republican Party allowed the coup plotters to control the debates, even those that determined their own nominee.

And the rest of us sat outside, tweeting, blogging, hoping Charles Krauthammer would say something smart on Fox News or Rush would get his revenge. But the narrative is set. The coup has taken hold. It’s too late now — or is it? We live in a Media State.

Mitts more like THurston Howell III of Gilligans Island.

Only 47% of the time. The other 53% of the time he emulates Yogi Berra.

Lets not forget that Dirty Harry Reid is Mormon.

Most of the Mormons I know are decent people, but they went astray when they let minorities join.

I was undecided until 9/5 when the court ruled against the Repugnants in Virginia and permitted Gary Johnson to be on the ballot.

So I'm voting Obama by proxy.

If you want my answer that is.
