At first I was going to title this entry "Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber" but after watching the debate last night, I had to admit that Mitt Romney decisively defeated Barack Obama. It was obvious from the beginning the Republican nominee, regardless of what anyone thinks of him, came prepared and ready to do battle.
Obama, without his teleprompter, looked lost and at times, distracted. He spent a lot of the debate looking down and it was clear he wanted to be someplace else. This is what happens when you try to defend indefensible policies that have clearly failed.
I am not sure if Mitt Romney is the answer but he is not Obama. That might be his greatest strength. In a moribund economy with $4 a gallon gas prices, 8%+ unemployment, little to no growth, and haunted by the specter of a looming fiscal cliff replete with tax hikes added with vanishing hope along with a chaotic foreign policy, that might be all he needs.
