Romney really did put on an emotional display. If you have seen Romney in every previous debate, you would have a hard time finding anything so touching. That is why Obama needs to put a lot more pressure on Romney. Obama needs to get Romney to climb onto his high horse. There were flashes of that in the debate. Debate two should be a good one.
