First Presidential Debate: What will be Mitt's "zinger" at the President? [View all]

My Dem neighbor is worried sick that Mitt has some devastating zinger that will nail Obama in the first debate and reset the campaign (a la "Are you better off now than 4 years ago?&quot .

My guess would be that Mitt will bring up the "more people are on food stamps" meme he's been touting lately. But as I told my neighbor, I'm sure the Obama people are anticipating that.

Actually, I think that Mitt will think he has the perfect zinger only it will either fall flat or Obama will just destroy it...
