what would you like to see out of governor romney one week from now when he s debating? to take on the rigged game that this entire presidential debate system has become. of course they accepted the current lot of lapdog liberals who will be controlling that venue. he can certainly take notes from his previous debating opponents in the gop primary. newt gingrich and rick santorum, and i certainly don t agree with either of them on anything, on everything, but the way they challenged the basic false premises of these very far from neutral observers was very admirable, something that appeals not just to the base of the republican party and conservatives, but i think especially to those independents. i mean, the first debate will be here in colorado. this is a huge battleground state. particularly when it comes to these women issues, the democrat
mitt romney trails 51-47. can mitt romney regain his lead and what is causing the trend. dick morris is fox news contributor and author of screwed. dick, you believe the story is . i don t think the numbers are accurate. i think there is a fundmental error going on in the polling by the media organizations. not by rasmussen and it shows romney one behind in florida and one in virginia and obama gets the undecided and could be ahead. but the difference is. they are using the is 2008 turn
