These were all of the stories in a row as I went to read Lucianne.com. But it’s not a debating contest and these people are vicious. The next debate will be on even more difficult terrain for Obama, foreign policy, but they have been warned and it will be a very different game. Meanwhile the media in conjunction with the Obama re-election committee will do everything they can to ease Obama’s pathway to retain the presidency while doing everything they can to make life harder for Romney. But a great start as every one of these stories makes clear.
