Debates. My thoughts re Romney.

[Lucy Goosey]

9. I predict problems for Romney...

...if he gets pressed for details about something he doesn't want to give details about, or if he's just outright asked a question he doesn't think he should have to answer, especially if the moderators have the gonads to insist that he answer.

If he gets into an exchange where the moderator has to keep telling him "you haven't answered the question" or "but how, specifically, will your economic plan benefit the economy" or whatever, Romney will lose his cool, and start to get pissy - he doesn't believe he owes us common folk answers, after all. I don't know if releasing his income taxes will come up - it's not policy, after all - but if it does, that's another topic that could lead him to come across as a bit unhinged.

I could see him losing his cool and doing something to make him look really unpresidential, like say repeatedly interupting President Obama against the rules of the debate, or physically approaching the President in an aggressive way. That kind of thing wouldn't play well.
