In reply to the discussion: Romney's biggest problem going into the debates is Obama. [View all]RFKHumphreyObama
(15,164 posts)-Which is why I recommended your post -the MSM are notoriously intellectually dishonest when it comes to the Democratic presidential nominee. Remember their treatment of Al Gore during the 2000 presidential debates? When he tried to pull Bush up on the facts, they labelled him as elitist and superior and condescending. Yet when Dubya made multiple gaffes during the debates, they indulged him
So I have no doubt that the President will be at his most excellent and will demolish Romney. But the talking heads and the beltway pundits and the other pandering GOP shills in the MSM are going to be doing their best to undermine him (although thank goodness we have people like Rachel Maddow out there). We have to do our best to counteract their crap and not allow them to define the agenda like they did in 2000
