able to tell the american people that barack obama has screwed it up. now what you are doing and not only has he screwed up the economy, excuse me, he screwed this up. so it s a competency issue. what would have been wrong with that? because, you never know how it s going to play out. you never know how it s going to work. you never know what the ricochet is going to be. overwhelming facts on your side. so what he had facts on his side in the second debate and it didn t work out on libya. i think that he was very right for making this focus on the economy. but the broader picture, bill, what he did in this debate was he he made sure that women did not think he was a warmonger. bill: now you are agreeing with me. the worry is that he was bush 43, that he was a cowboy. he proved to them he wasn t. that s one. number two, he led obama be an obnoxious as he was going to be. right now his favorability is higher than obamas and it just got much higher. swas a very skillful debate on

swas a very skillful debate on romney s part. i m glad you said that because it reinforces my belief that a lot of what the governor did last night was directed toward single women and tried to convince them to vote for him. yep. however, the snap polls on cnn and cbs say that the majority of americans believe barack obama won that debate last night. that s irrelevant. most thought that romney won that obama won the second debate. and romney has moved up about 4 points in the national polls since the second debate was held. obviously romney won the debate. it s not a question of who wins the debate. it s a question of who wins the election and what image they are posting. romney had some very specific objectives here to separate himself from bush 43 to make obama seem outrageous and nasty and bidenesque in a sense. and not to make news and to get focused on the economy. he he did them all.
