Presidential Debate Question

18 Comments
How in the world is Mitt Romney going to handle the Presidential debates?  He has run his entire campaign on avoiding detailed policy discussions, so how does this translate into a debate?  Will he simply say, "I love freedom" over and over again? Health Care, Afghanistan, Taxes, Medicare/Medicaid, Abortion, Budget Cuts, Unions, the Economy, Foreign Policy, etc. - all these topics, and many, many more, will be on the table.  How does Mitt Romney respond to these issues, or is there a way he can avoid them and continue to say nothing?

Really? And Republicans wonder why they've lost the women's vote.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu questioned reports that the Tracey Reese dress Michelle Obama wore for her convention address Tuesday night cost $350 on a conference call with reporters Wednesday. Sununu accused the Obama campaign of peddling several lies, including the cost of the dress: "somehow I don't think that's the truth either."

And now onto the State House of Representatives: RD 1 (D): While Victoria Kent shows promise as a first-time candidate, I look for Dennis P. Williams protege Charles Potter to win in Williams’ district. Former state rep Rourke Moore has been almost invisible. I’d encourage Kent to work on developing a bit more message discipline should she decide to seek office again. She has potential, but she’s not there yet. RD 2 (D): Former State Rep. Arthur Scott challenges incumbent Stephanie Bolden. I think that Scott finds himself in something of the same time warp that has trapped Dave Brady. While there may be compelling reasons to defeat the incumbent, Scott hasn’t really made them. Bolden by a fairly comfortable margin.
