| It’s simple. During the upcoming debates, no matter what question is thrown at him, Mitt Romney has to dump the economy onto the lap of its rightful owner. The president, Romney might suggest, shouldn’t be judged on the economy he campaigned so hard to inherit, but the recovery he has botched. As it stands, Obama is the owner of the most pathetic economic revival in American history. A recovery so weak, it’s difficult to believe that voters even think of it as one. So, when the president starts unfurling his economic vision of growth through wind-powered fairness factories, Romney has

Comments: Of course you have to make 0bama own the economy, and all the foreign policy failures like Libya. Because even 0bama is running away from them. If you can demolish the 'blame Bush' mantra which shouldn't be difficult 0bama is in trouble immediately.

How do you debate the devil or anyone else who has no allegiance to the truth? Especially if he has the aid of LSM "moderators"?
You don't.

How about facts such as during Dear Leader(US)'s "recovery," family income dropped MORE than it did during the "Bush recession."
Somehow, a "recovery" where income drops more than a recession should be called more recession.

Without actually calling out that O is a serial liar, all Romney has to do is quote verbatim the numerous lies in speeches and news reports made by O and then reiterate the facts and the status as it exists today...not in some fairy tale future, promised by a man who has failed to keep one promise.
Romney does not even have to defend his record. All he has to do is go offensive with O's record. And when O goes after Romney for mistakes or miscalculations, Romney can easily and understandably state, all leaders make mistakes and miscalculations, but most leaders do not pretend that they did not occur as the president has.
The WH, O, S. Rice and the administration still holds that the terrorist attack in Libya and assassination of four outstanding American citizens was caused by some lone Californian that had the massive power to unleash 20 some rabid, psychopathic nations whose leaders and populations are so deluded by religous demogoguery that they destroy billions of dollars in real and personal property and kill thousands upon thousands of people - for whom? Some polygamist pedophile charlatan named what? And, based on a video no one saw?
Wow this video guy must be the next Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini and Pol Pot combined.
If this is O's defensive foreign policy for his re-election, then kiss Europe good-bye as the MB will take it over through election, intimidation and terrorism. France and England are pretty much gone, and Germany and Italy are next.

How long does this debate last? Obama will use 90% of the time answering questions. He`ll drone on an on lying as he goes. He`ll also be given the questions prior to the debates so his answers will be well crafted.

With everything in his presidency a disaster, any topic will do.
Unfortunately, Obama will get softballs and Romney will get gotcha's. But Romney can take a page out of Obama's book and listen politely to the question and then answer an entirely different one.

1) Be as warm & human as possible 2) Spit out facts & figures as fast as he can say "I don't recall the exact number" 3) Challenge the "moderator" to ask Obama questions (even tho he/she won't, viewers will see Obama heard it & won't either) 4) Don't go on & on too long like Obama does -- be concise 5) Articulate your real life plan every chance you get because O doesn't have one 6) When he blames Bush, remind everyone of O's promise to not run for reelection if he couldn't turn things around in his 1st term, when he knew "how bad Bush made everything" 7) Act like you like/admire him but not his policies -- be brutal about his policies 8) Find a way to bring up Stevens' assassination & your plan to protect our ambassadors abroad, because we are still at war with terrorism, like it or not, & can't let down our guard 9) Remind everyone listening of the stark differences we have between the two of you 10) Remember you are talking to the swing voters now -- not your base or his 11) Refuse to go on the defense if the moderator brings up idiot sound bite issues -- remind everyone that even Obama says things he regrets & ask for the next question.

#11: you'd be a great debate coach!
Dem/Lefties have a set of points they want to make, hence, they will answer any question with those points.
One thing i hope Republicans will do: every time Dem/Lefties blame President Bush for anything, throw facts back at them. For example, Inherited a bad economy? remind audience that unemployment rate was average 5.5, the growth rate, the fact that after 9/11 we were on the brink of economic free-fall, that President Bush brought us TOGETHER, never tried to divide.
Remind the audience that, even though there are no anti-war protesters to be found, and the establishment media refuses to report the daily count as they had for 7 years, yesterday the 2000th soldier was killed in Afghanistan. 2/3 of the deaths have occurred in the past three years. And Iraq IS now falling apart, as al Qaeda re-emerges there, not to mention their resurgence everywhere else.
Stay calm. Stand on the truth.

Obama is going to try and assert his cult of personality. He's going to smirk with the audience and the moderators, over certain Romney responses, no matter how self-evidently brilliant, and some will laugh. Then, he's going to lie provacatively. He's hoping for mild rebuke after mild rebuke like, "You're just wrong about that." He wants to zing back something like, "Mr. Romney I'm not wrong, and you need to tell the truth for once in your life." This will muddy the water and defense a Reagan-type putdown like, "There you go again." But Carter was not a malignant character. He always smiled a little when he lied. As someone here said, "Obama doesn't just lie, he lives the lie." Obama is a liar savant. Romney can stay off defense if he will shock voters with well constructed scenes of inevitable 2016-type failure, unfixable, unrecognizable, with previously unknown military vulnerability and pathetic social unrest -- if sympathetic voters allow such leadership to continue. He must connect the dots, and reveal a man who plays at being a frivolous and incompetent dilletante, even a cool jerk who can't throw a baseball, but who is in fact a man clinically uncomfortable with American exceptionalism, a dedicated radical with radical czars in every high place, all bound to end America as we know it if the voters are merely crazy enough to give his reality show 4 more years. He only needs one.

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama.

All the big swing states where polls have closed -- Florida, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina -- were too close to call, Fox News projects.

As expected, the presidential race is tight in Ohio, where the polls just closed: President Obama is winning women 55 percent to 44 percent in the early CBS News exit poll, while Mitt Romney is leading 52 percent to 46 percent among men. Women made up 51 percent of the electorate, compared to 49 percent among women. Thirty-nine percent of voters so far identified themselves as Democrats, compared to 30 percent calling themselves Republican. Thirty-one percent identified as independent or something else, and Romney has a big edge among this group - 56 percent to 40 percent for Mr. Obama.

As expected, Republican candidate for President, Mitt Romney, won West Virginia’s five electoral votes in Tuesday’s General Election over President Barack Obama. National media outlets called the race in West Virginia shortly after polls closed at 7:30 p.m. President Obama’s fate in West Virginia has never been in question, as he garnered just 60 percent of the democratic vote in the May primary. The other 40 percent of that vote went to Texas federal inmate Keith Judd, who was placed on the ballot in West Virginia.

Early exit polls show Election Day voters are slightly more Republican than in 2008 and broadly concerned about the state of the U.S. economy. Six in 10 voters said the economy is their top issue according to the poll, which was released by The Associated Press and conducted on behalf of a consortium of media companies. Less than a quarter of voters said their families were better off than four years ago — a point seized on by many Republicans as the results leaked out.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
