Romney's Big Test: You Know Obama Is Going To Really Get Under His Skin.

In ways that no one ever has. I'm going to enjoy seeing Romney struggle to not blow up.

I don't think Obama will be tip toeing this election cycle. Hell, he's already on fire and its just getting started. And I don't think he's going to let up. He's gonna hammer away and pummel Romney up to when they have to face-off in the debates.

It will be interesting to see whether Romney can handle the beating he's about to take with the whole world watching.

Negotiations will break down. Both sides will be blamed by the media.

He can whine and wail with the best of them with his one hit wonder "Why aren't We Talking about Jobs and the Economy?", but that's all he's got.

Once he has to actually explain his position on jobs and the economy, even the most deluded are going to see nothing but an empty suit standing at the podium.

I really am not looking forward to the debates ... romney trots out some fake-assed "fact", President Obama slaps that shit across the room ... with citations to legitimate, non-partisan sources and source documents ...

President obama hammers romney with actual facts ... with citations to legitimate, non-partisan sources and source documents ...

The media ignores the slap down ... refuses to look at/verify the citations ... The media calls the debate a tie.

According to an article in Huffington Post. I tend to think that veneer will peel away sooner or later.

They are on the defensive. We need to keep the pressure on.

Kerry talked about going alone unilaterally into Iraq and Bush leapt off his chair and started yelling at Charlie Gibson "Let me respond! Let me respond! You tell Tony Blair we're going alone! You tell Berlusconi we're going alone!"
