3. Even if he's not goaded into saying something stupid

He comes across as so arrogant it will be apparent. Our calm and cool President will mop the floor with him.
Or hopefully Mitt will do something inadvertently offensive like McCain's "health of the mother" air quotes gesture.
I predict he will be like Palin at the debates, not actually answering the questions but just spouting his talking points.
