as for second debate, independents expect governor romney to be a biginner, 42% to 31 pearls. a.b., what do you think? romney did a terrific job on october 3rd. i don t think he s going to implode. i think the onus is on president obama to change the perception and the narrative from his failure that night. i think that s a lot of pressure. i think probable is president bush is president obama is expected to be aggressive, to throw romney off. what he really needs to do is what romney does, is to enthusiastically sell himself. if you can get a few jobs in, great, but in that setting he needs to look like he wants the job. all the angst has shifted to the other side.
