Given Romney's failing campaign, most of the Press says he is leaning right. I have attempted to follow Romney and his jobs plan-one that he can't explain except by using freedom, free enterprise, don't expect much of a tax break for the middle class, bad news health care proposals, and of course tax breaks to the rich to stimulate the economy.
I feel that Romney will be in attack mode and thereby jump off-topic, which will cause him to lose the debate. I fail to find anything humorous about Romney and though the Press thinks he "needs" to bring humor to the debate, everytime he attempts to be normal, even holding a baby for a photo op, he fails.
While conservatives are in lock-step against most of what Obama has done and proposes, Obama does have specific plans and can explain them eloquently without being defensive or aggressive. He is more apt to succeed at humor, if he tries, than is Romney.
Neither candidate has thrilled the American public with their job plans/saving the economy, however, Obama represents the majority of Americans, has an edge in the polls on the economy, except for the WSJ/Fox Polls, and I believe that Romney's failure to realize that he needs a single, not swing for the fences home run, spells the end of his campaign. He is touted as being well rehearsed, perhaps too much so, a la Sarah Palin.
Temperament for the job of President of the United States: Obama has it, Romney does not. It is impossible for Romney to truly inspire Americans with his scripted rhetoric and inability to explain his positions when given every opportunity, e.g. 60 Minutes. I feel that his newly organized right wing approach to the race will alienate the voters, but he's tried everything else and that's all he currently has going for him.
I expect Romney to boldly butt in to the debate at some point and accuse Obama of breaking his promises to the American people about the economy, however it's likely to back-fire, as the stock market has completely rebounded, unemployment is up only .point 6% since Obama took office, most agree that ObamaCare will prevail mostly intact, a stalled jobs plan in Congress and an opponent that doesn't see the wisdom of lending a helping hand to those most in need OR in hiring any government workers. Romney's plan to downsize the government and let the states handle all entitlements is not new, is being done by some states to a large degree, but doesn't represent what the majority of Americans face, even California is bankrupt. As well, Romney's plan to make states handle all entitlement programs won't save money, it just means less federal government.
Finally, his ideas about Medicare and Social Security are absolutely not, what the majority of Americans want to hear.
