"Conventional wisdom is that the presidential debates are not that important, but that is not necessarily true. ..... There have been televised debates in ten presidential elections, and about half the time, those debates seem to have made a difference.
Romney has all the attributes of a serious grown-up. He has succeeded in the private sector and in family life. All the efforts to portray him as some haughty elitist will come crashing down in a debate which shows Romney as a sensible man who has stayed by his sick wife and done his homework on policies, and Obama, the true elitist, will be exposed for who he is.
The even greater danger for Obama is making a serious gaffe. He does this sort of thing all the time; as I noted when Obama spoke of Polish death camps, Obama and his staff are simply profoundly ignorant people. Leftists, of course, have tried to portray Romney as gaffe-prone, but that is clearly not true. His "gaffes" are the consequence of the media either lying about what he said or interpreting his accurate statements as insensitive. Telling the truth is not a gaffe." [American Thinker]
