I got called "silly" and "dumb," but here's my take anyway:

nuts but we'll see..

Give a crook enough rope and he'll hang himself. I believe that's what the president did. Now, we need to sit down watch the show as he twists, turns and contorts into a human pretzel trying to duck and dodge the lies he put out there in REINFORCED CONCRETE carved in STONE!!! This'll be FUNNY!!

3 dimensional chess and all that noise.

And yes, the Prez DOES know how to play 3D chess.

has, IMHO, been flawless. His team have countered every Romney lie, gaffe and mis-step with record speed.

Obama knows that you don't play the bully on TV and call a liar 'a liar' to his face. That would be unpresidential.

However, you can bet your ass that the Obama team is already going through the debate transcript with a fine-toothed comb, and will be launching their counter-attacks accordingly.

The anti-Romney ads have been proven to be effective. And they stick in the mind much longer than a soundbyte on a televised debate.

next debate. Romney will think he has the upper hand and whomp! The Pres. will deliver.

(if I may?) is the fact that Obama's team will be lambasting Mitt over the next few weeks in ads and statements, pointing out every lie, every half-truth, every obfuscation, every exaggeration, every skirting of specifics when pointedly asked for them.

Romney will go into the next debate a much weakened candidate, and (if he's smart - which he isn't), will be much more cautious about stating non-facts for fear of the reprisals. And as we've seen so far, Mitt's non-facts and non-specifics are pretty much the foundation of his campaign. He's got nothing else.

be over confident the next time and will get hit like a thunderbolt.

If the ads over the next few weeks strike at Mitt's quasi-facts, mis-stated facts, etc., he might fear saying anything that can come back to bite his ass. That's if he's smart - which we both know he ain't.

My money is on Mitt's ego over-riding any advice to be cautious about throwing around non-facts and skewed, unsubstantiated numbers. He'll continue his usual penchant for doing so.

And that will give the Obama team plenty more ammunition to spank Mitt's hiney.

What has been amazing to watch is the fact that the best campaign team I've ever seen in my lifetime (and I'm old!) is up against the absolute worst campaign team I've ever seen.

It's been interesting, to say the least.

He knows he's not the best at debating in the classic sense but he knows how to make an opponent hang him/her self!

but President Obama possesses the much more powerful Stinger. Truth is a powerful thing.
