This is so refreshing.. just a few of the things Romney should have said in the great debate. If we want to show that we are not racist by having a black president why not make it Thomas Sowell instead of this fraud and traitor we have now!

Thomas Sowell, a real adult, speaks.
Obama is a house of cards and the wind is rising.

And Obama and his crew are going to get a pass on everything that happened over the past four years. They will all walk off into the sunset with big pensions, cushy jobs awaiting and book deals. In a Republican administration with the same scandals, people would have been fired, serving time in prison by now, under indictment, resigned and even impeached.

Amen to all the above.

Just as our troops will have to shoot their way out of Afghanistan, O & Co. are now preparing to make a clean getaway from the White Hut. Shredders are shredding and electronic records are being scrubbed. A new president brings a new Justice Department.

A real one.

God bless Mr. Sowell. I so needed to read this, after the disappointment of Romney's failure to ask for the truth about Benghazi. I fear we lost an opportunity to vet this episode to the American people because the legacy media sure isn't going to do it.

#6, I think Romney decided that beating up Obama again on Benghazi just gives Obama another chance to muddy up the blame and the defense. It would have produced nothing new and Obama was prepared, perhaps overprepared, since it appeared he didn't get the opening he anticipated and had to readjust.

As to the point on Benghazi, I suspect that Obama was so well prepared on this (and the Romney team would have known it) that there was probably a strategic decision not to bring it up. It was more effective to bring up the fact that Obama went to all the Israel-hating countries as POTUS, but not Israel itself. It was also very effective to keep going back to the economy (Romney's strength) and point out that a weak economy is a major factor in foreign affairs.

I am a little surprised that Romney didn't hammer energy more -- it is one of Obama's weakest areas. No POTUS (prior to Obama) has ever deliberately tried to make the US MORE dependent on foreign powers -- in this case for oil. But that is exactly what Obama's policy is by suppressing domestic energy production. Romney could have easily nailed Obama on that one.

Only serious political observers (us junkie on the right) are really paying attention to the Bengjhazi fiasco and travesty of justice, so it probably made good sense that Mitt changed the debate game.

He could not be certain that Shieffer would not pull a Candy and gang up on him (although old Bob was the best moderator of the four).

Mitt's job was to use the debate to pivot to his strengths, persuade the undecided viewers, especially women, that he is the better choice.

He got the job done. On to Nov 6 for the big win, then on to January 20 to celebrate the end of a long four year nightmare.

If we could only vet there candidates and moderators.......

Mitt just kept looking at Obama...much like a boss who is firing a lousy employee but the soon to be ex-employee wants to prattle on about his achievements while at work, not listening to his boss, nor wanting to believe that he was just fired.

Get out of here Hussein!

I agree with the above posters that pounding Benghazi again would have been counter-productive. Romney has already made his point, so it's best to sit back and let the lies self-destruct with the help of those like our own, very wise Dr. Sowell.

Why, oh why, couldn't Thomas Sowell be our first Black President?

Mitt will get more press about Bengazi by not mentioning it than if he had

"After Bin Laden was located, why would any President not give the go ahead to go get him?"--ask Bill Clinton.

The old fart Bob Schieffers did an ok job considering he is a libtard.

However, it t-ed me off that his pen and folder twiddling keep blocking my view of Romney. Was this Bob's intention?

The obama stare and the schieffers paper shuffling were liberal ploys to diss a "good honest" man.

Romney in 2012 ... The better Man to lead America.

Mr. L said "What is THAT!!" the first time the folder flew into view. It had to be deliberate--someone in the business that long knows about camera angles.

Who was it that fished that video out of the murky internet? It was only done so that Bam could "blame America first."

Mr. Sowell is articulate and comprehensive in his takedown of the Obama regime's pandering to Middle East countries who support terrorism under the guise of pro-Islam nation-building. This should be posted to everyone's Facebook acoount.

Las night Chris Matthews called Romney supporters racist,okay Chris question which half is racist the Black half or the white half??

What black President next?
I would vote for Allen West in a New York Minute...and I bet Dr. Sowell would endorse him!

I pushed for Sowell in 2008, to no avail.
The problem for blacks now is that every black candidate running for President in the future will be scrutinized and have to prove himself or herself free of Obama's socialist stink.
