1) Romney attacks Obama on...   -   Embassy about 50 times.  

2) Obama proclaims his awesomeness by bragging about...   -  He mentions bin laden briefly and name-drops about 50 other dudes.  USA loves some dead bad guys.

3) Romney's major gaffe is in the area of...   -   a few little gaffes on little accusations where obama replies with facts and romney doesn't know the situations deep enough to play 'gotcha' and catch obama in a weak position.  Everything romney knows about foreign policy is wiki-deep... Obama knows this shit at higher level areas - analysis and application, synthesis and evaluation.

4) Obama's defense of embassy fail is...   -   "I have already said I take full responsibilty and we're conducting an investigation.  I would hope my opponent would stop politicizing the death of these brave Americans..."

5) The debate is won/tied, and by who?   -   Obama *should* win it.  He's had 4 years of steering the nation.  Romney has no foreign experience - theory and lecturing obama for his mistakes.  Isn't romney the guy who initially said "I'm staying out of that" when asked about the Iraqi surge, only to support it later?


Romney *should* play is safe and try to preserve the momentum/lead.   Getting pwned by calling obama out of something wrongly, and he drops 4 points in gallup in the next 7 days.

Debate is up against the 7th game of the Cardinals series... Mon night football... Obama is happy about this, im' sure.

It's funny how the Libya situation is referred to a politicizing because they don't want to talk about it.

[GigantorX]

1) Romney attacks Obama on...I don't think he dwells on Benghazi, mentions Al-Qaeda's resurgence in key areas, Obama dead by Al-Qaeda still very much alive, Egypt etc.

2) Obama proclaims his awesomeness by bragging about...Bin Laden, it's all he really has.

3) Romney's major gaffe is in the area of...No gaffes, he will be hurt if he brings up Benghazi too much. Hammer Obama with a few well worded, concise slams.

4) Obama's defense of embassy fail is...He didn't know what was going on. "Acts of Terror" followed by Susan Rice lying, Clinton saying it was the video, J. Carney saying it was the video, Obama himself at the U.N./soldiers caskets saying it was a video.

5) The debate is won/tied, and by who? I don't know. Obama really doesn't have much to work with. And what he does have can be countered or belittled. Romney has to lay out a clear vision and counter Obama's boasting.

you kids are silly.  the attack happened simultaneously with protests all over the middle east about the video. the natural assumption to make is that the attack was part of the protests and in response to the video. as evidence comes out that indicates otherwise, you let people know about it. pretty straightforward. but i suppose if you dont like obama your going to latch on to any talking points being spit at you.
