The polls on a debate that is still pending is based on assumptions. President Obama and Govenor Romney are both knowledgeable in debates and politics. As much as I am vying for Romney, we have to judge how they handle the questions pertaining to the issues before them. This debate is not about charisma or being a good talker, rather there are issues of national importance and over 52 million Americans will be watching.

To debate you have to be knowledgeable, Intelligent and able to abswer questions directly. Still not sure who will win???   OBAMA BABY OBAMA.

President Barack Obama will win the debate.

Each individual needs to be specific with their answers plus their paths for the future and President Obama is way ahead of Mitt Romney in this and other areas.

This is good for Romney.  If he impresses the beyond the low expectations and Obama is check-mated a couple times, Romney will come out on top.  Remember the Bush-Gore debates in 2000.

I think Romney will come ahead of expectations and get a boost out of it.  Americans like to see the underdog fight back, then they respond very well.

PACs put Obambi in the White House and they will ascertain that he wins.

I feel the Hawaiian guy will clinch this debate.  The polygamist doesn't stand a chance.

So Romney is a polygamist, huh ? You have chosen to degrade the leader of the Rev's party.

OK then! So what is Obama ?

63% OF WHITE AMERICANS VIEW HIM AS A MUSLIM BORN N*&&%$

RE: THE DEBATES

* 90% of democrats have made up their minds---Obama will win all 3 debates.

* 9% of Republicans will view Obama as the winner

* 40% of Independents will view Obama as the winner.

In the 2012 election you will likely have 36% democrats, 35% republicans and 29% independents.

DO THE MATH AND YOU'LL FIND THIS MAN WILL BE AMERICA'S 45TH PRESIDENT:

For a Moron how come Romney only has one wife?

Breaking down Obama’s and Romney’s vulnerabilities heading into tomorrow’s debate… Romney says he won’t revoke temporary visas for qualified young illegal immigrants… A Tale of Two Mitts: playing to the base in his stump speeches, while courting the middle in his interviews… Two new national polls: CNN has it Obama 50%, Romney 47%; Quinnipiac has it Obama 49%, Romney 45%... It’s NBC/WSJ poll day!!!... 35 states, including Ohio, are now voting… Missteps for both Brown and Warren at last night’s debate… And RGA announces raising $15 million in 3^rd quarter.

You could have waited until tomorrow to make that statement. Mother use to say don't count your eggs?  hard ears lesson is always expensive you know.

Why wait till tomorrow when we already know the result. The writing is on the wall. The blackman with triumph much to you and the Rev's dismay. Come tomorrow, the bigamist will be tarred, feathered and chased out of dodge.

My money is on Romney.  Obama is getting shaky.

That is an absurd statement. PACs of the nasty kind proliferate in the Republican backyard. A hapless McCain and a ditsy Palin  facing a well managed Obama machine simply got trashed as they should have. Americans made the right choice in retrospect.

The Presidential debates are one aspect of the campaigning, but one that is more focused, condensed and have a larger audience.

Who creams whom is missing the point. Romney will present his vision about moving America forward and this will tackle the problems confronting us. His is a boiler plate lower taxes, relaxing regulations and small government. He will be asked in the debates to show what he’s going to do to address the broad sweeping palliatives he’s proposing.

Obama will obviously be asked why he didn’t fix the economy as he promised in 2008. His will be the task to show that he did some good things on the economic front and that his vision for America, while sharing entrepreneurial values of economic freedom, needs a partnership with the collective force known as government. He is also likely to show how America is in the throes of a structural adjustment coming on the heels of a financial and housing crisis that’s making this adjustment period painful.

I think that the details each man will advance would seem plausible but the facts and trends would be kinder to Obama than Romney. He can list the auto industry, the reversing of nearly ¾ million job losses monthly, the manufacturing sector structural difficulties, energy product ion up and less imports of oil, an educational system that geared to producing more scientists, etc.

Both are Ivy League educated men. Romney was a CEO of a business that provided him with hundreds of millions. Obama was inspirational and aspirational in 2008. He defeated a strong primary challenger in Hillary, so he brings a worthy game. Romney has shown at times to be like a deer in headlights – witness the Libya fiasco, the changing positions on a lot of issues, a lack of ardent support from the Republican base that does not trust him, and more tellingly, his plans for fiscal balance where the maths are in the toilet.

If you know nothing of what’s on the ground in America and listen to Romney and Obama you have to conclude Romney has the better ideas. But when the peddle hits the metal you begin to see where one’s values are. Romney’s is clearly to shrink the social compact that began with Eisenhower – the insurance programs like social security and Medicare/Medicaid.

We have reached a point of the demographic dividend, where the entitlement portion of society is larger than the contributing sector. Obama is trying to shepherd America in the midst of a structural schism. There are serious changes ahead globally that Romney’s prescriptions seem out of touch – and I’m not even talking 47% and sheltered tax positions and car elevators here.

After the Debate:

Romney won the debate hands down.

CNN poll, 67 percent Romney, 25 percent Obama. Democrats have to be worried, very worried. But like cricket, it is not over yet.
