Lying clown Mitt showed up at the first debate...Which Mitt will show up tonight? [View all]

I just can't wait to see which version of himself, Mitt Romney will bring to tonight's debate.

Before the first debates were held, I heard a Romney spokesperson communicate that they look at the debates as a unit, with each debate serving a specific purpose.

The first debate, clearly, was Romney's attempt to lie about every one of his policies--then attack the President for asking questions or commenting on Romney's longstanding policies. Got that. Check.

Since all of these debates are one big Barnum & Bailey's performance for the Romney campaign, I am guessing that the next phase of this debacle will be the following: Anticipating that Obama will want to challenge Romney and set the record straight--Romney will introduce the world to--"Homecoming-King-sweet-as-pie-car-salesman" Mitt.

He'll be so kind and sweet that he'll probably bear hug Obama. He'll talk in lofty platitudes and beautiful speeches. He'll touch on his policies, but he won't provide any red meat. He'll try to deny the President an opportunity to attack or set the record straight--because he'll be too busy behaving like an enthusiastic informercial host from hell.

You watch. I bet it happens. Remember, Romney can't win on the issues. They have to invent a "schtick" that helps them to avoid the issues. It's a game because telling the American people the truth about their lie-based tax cuts, voucherizing Medicare, their non-existent healthcare plan or their lack of seriousness on the national debt---would cause an Obama electoral sweep.

I'm prepared for Obama to bring his "A Game" and I'm also braced for the unveiling of "Homecoming-King-sweet-as-pie-car-salesman" Mitt. Ugh.
