Subscribe to RSSWith less than a week to go before the first presidential debate between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro explain that because of the current campaign narrative and trailing poll numbers, Romney has more at stake going into the debate.
Thanks to Don't_Carry_It_All and Frank "Grimey" Grimes for the questions.

Congrats to DCIA & Grimey for having your question(s) selected!
What I'm having a hard time understanding is how so many people are claiming Willard is a strong debater.
Anyone who starts out answering a quested posed to them with; "I don't know... but..." isn't very effective if you ask me.
Buy hey, we can chalk it up to yet another flaw in the long list of Wiley Old Willard's character!
What I'm having a hard time understanding is how so many people are claiming Hussein is a strong debater. Sure, he's a good orator when he has PREPARED ANSWERS. We'll see how the moderators let him get away with his usual non-answers.
But, hey, we can chalk it up to yet another long list of softball questions for Hussein, the LEAST vetted president EVER.
God, I love it when people like Oscar repeat the "teabagger" nonsense of his President only being good with prepared remarks.
You keep on believing that Oscar.
nD...R, you have your opinion, I have mine. Not sure how you came up with "teabagger" but I love that you believe in God. Keep the faith!! :D
Absolutely, Oscar. You too.
Oscar - President Obama has never had the questions "soft balled." He is always tested in the debates - as it should be. Romney on the other hand hasn't been. It will definitely be interesting.
Obama/Biden 2012
Well keep seeking, insane one. It's been a long time since Hussein has been in a debate and it's pretty obvious that you and I have strikingly different recollections of Hussein's being "tested."
Oh, and "never" is such an absolute term. Just sayin....
Feisty - (whiney voice) why are you ALWAYS FIRST???? Just want you to feel back at home! LOL!
Oscar - I'm talking about President Obama - not Hussein!
Obama/Biden 2012
Dear Insane One, do you say the same thing when someone says "Willard?" Do you say, "I'm taling about Mitt - not Willard!" ???
Sorry dude - not my fault Willard is his first name...
Wonder why he is so embarrassed by it? lol
Mark and Domenico -- Thanks for answering our questions. Can't wait for the debates. I'm with you in that Romney has more at stake in this first debate. It will be interesting to see how he answers those questions on the social issues. Will he try to appeal to the moderates in the Party? We shall see. Excellent analysis guys, appreciate it!
Congrats Grimey!
Thanks for the shout out Feisty!
Mitt is hopeless, and debates will further reinforce this inevitability and aggravate Mitt.
Feisty, the game at this point is managing expectations. These debates aren't debates - merely opportunities to regurgitate the same talking points the candidates have been using for a while. So there's no winning or losing against your opponent. You only win or lose by surpassing or failing to meet your own expectations. If you successfully talk down Romney's debating skills, you are giving him a lower bar to jump, and thus a chance to win.
The debates loom huge to the Romney camp because he is trailing President Obama and his campaign managers are starting to become deeply concerned (and by concerned I mean panicked). This will be a do-or-die opportunity for Mitt and he will pull out all the stops. I'm sure his handlers are advising him to stick to the game plan and to avoid any extemporaneous comments that can, and will, backfire on him.
"I'll tell you what, ten thousand dollars? $10,000.00 bet? —Mitt Romney, attempting to make a wager with Rick Perry during a Republican presidential debate to settle a disagreement about health care (December 2011)
"I'm Mitt Romney and, yes Wolf, that is my first name." —Mitt Romney, at the beginning of a November 2011 Republican presidential debate, getting his own name wrong (his first name is ''Willard,'' and his middle name is "Milton" or, as he seems to prefer, ''Mitt'')
what will Willard say next? He's offended countries. He's offended half of Americans;
yeah, the debates should be interesting!
More lies from Obama. Not Publish by Media Matters or the media bias NBC and affiliates.
The government cut its calculation of U.S. growth in the second quarter to 1.3% from 1.7% in its third and final review, citing less consumer spending and business investment than previously estimated. Consumer spending rose 1.5% in the previous quarter instead of 1.7% as initially forecast. And business investment, excluding residential housing, was revised down to a 3.6% increase from 4.2%. The government also said corporate profits climbed $21.8 billion in the second quarter, compared to a $53.0 billion decline in the first quarter. The economy grew at a 2.0% pace in the first three months of the year. We are moving BACKWARDS> Obamalies
Obama has nothing to bring to a debate other than cheap attack and lies.
I want factcheck behind every word Obama will say from his teleprompter.
Romney 2012
Paul M in Wbridge
tell that to Rick Perry when he lost his support after his "OOPS" performance
tell that to Romney who was made fun of for his $10 bucks" and "I don't hire illegals for Pete's sake" comments
tell that to Santorum who got caught in the legislative process quicksand over earmarks and contraception
and this was among their own
yeah, debates don't matter alright...
Demanding little dick, aren't you?
I want YOU to show me when a teleprompter has ever been used in a debate, you idiot!
It's been established that if we fact check ol' Willard when he says his own name we will catch him in a lie. How will the fact checkers have time to examine President Obama's assertions when they are chasing everything Mitt says to determine whether it is a lie, a damned lie, or a good old-fashioned whopper?
Red obviously is one of the entitled. How can she possibly have a job when she sits at the computer all day to pounce on anything MSN posts. Get a job Red. And forget it, I wouldn't hire you. You are not smart enough to work for me.
No problem Snookie - I quit working for fast food joints in high school...
Says someone who spent $25 bucks on an internet diploma! lol
Do you mean Obama can think by himself . He is full of gaffes without teleprompter. <My Muslim faith> , < 57 States > , just three words < made in the USA>. Hey woman , you are an idiot just remember Biden when talk about the way Obama speaks.
Romney has put a lot of time in to his debate preparation, but you have to wonder if any part of that really sunk in. The problem is still the same, Romney has no core set of beliefs that he is standing behind. You can see it when he said one thing to interviewers and turned around and said the exact opposite to the
crowdsmall group of supporters who would come to hear him speak.Whether it is talking about immigration reform, abortion, health care reform, it does not matter, Romney can't seem to say the same thing two times in a row.
You just have to know the Romney campaign team is going to be working harder than the fact checkers during the debate. There is going to be so much clarification of what the candidate JUST SAID that the campaign team will be on the air for longer than the debate itself.
The fun part will be when Romney says one thing and in the very next sentence says the exact opposite. If the moderator does not call Romney on that, you know that President Obama won't let the BS stink up the debate for long.
In each debate, there are very good reporters who have gotten pretty tired of hearing the same old BS coming out. They have learned the talking points and won't let the candidates get away with them. They will push to get some real answers.
It is simple whenever Obama stutters is that he lies. For the times that he stutters when he speaks, most part of the time he says lies.
So, you have candidate who gets his own name wrong in the GOP debates and you want to make shrill, unfounded accusations at the prez? Good luck with that, oskar.
Fail.
Nice attempt to deflect!
Thank you for admitting you are unable to answer a simple question... lol
Why am I not surprised?
Care to try again? It's not like it's a trick or anything?
Note to Mitt: Nothing like insulting and disrespecting people, then expecting them to vote for you!
(I hate to tip him off - but he won't listen anyway!)
For Mitt, the debate is more about style. With his Frank Luntz tested lines and his personality implant - Mitt will make Obama out to be 'the monster under the stairs'.
What they fail to realize is that everyone is going to say "oo, just tell it to call you Billie!..." hal halbrook in Creepshow and laugh when the monster goes to work. The monster is a master.
Romney will speak the truth and Obama will stutter and lie and wave his hands around. The press will declare Obama the winner even when he falls on his face. Same story different day.
obama has always had All 57 states clearly voting for him...one muslim to another!!..Madonna said so it must be true!!
Why are SOOO many documents sealed by this transparent Prez??
No college transcript, NO ifo on his disbarment in ILL.,..No release of Fast& Furious info--claims executive privilege== if I tell the truth it would hurt my campaign!! No release of the the murdered Ambassador Stevens cables....it was not Islamic Terrorists--they do not exist, like the Mafia myth-- The list just keeps getting bigger!!
After 4 years all we know about BOZOhussen is that he wrecked the economy, raided the treasury, killed job growth, attacked the middle class--no homes, no gas for your car to go to the job that he outsourced, increased food stamp holders ( NOT a prosperous employment!!), IslamicBros kill Americans--no problem!! His family has cost the USA tax payer $$$7 Billion for vacations!!
National debt $$ 16 Trillion, he can not even count high enough to figure the zeros on that one!! Down grading of USA credit==less in retirement 401K and inflation at the the supermarket!!
The guy would really be a joke, if was not SOO SAD and terrible for the country!!
Yet the sheep followers shout OHAbhaaammmmma, OOhaaBhaammmaa!!! I am entitled to all the "free" stuff!!
Grimey, Congratulations on being chosen for "In the Boiler Room."
And DCIA, congratulations on your selection for
The Grimey RoomThe Boiler Room as well!What is this now, Grimey - seven times? Eight? Ninety-eleven? :)
His questions are always good ones.
The same people always get their questions answered, and the same people are always the first to post in each "thread."
Hmmmmm.
Mark -
I agree - I usually vote for them myself! And since I've had two or three of my own questions selected in the past, I can hardly gripe. Grimey and I kid each other a lot. No offense intended to either of you.
Hey guys...
Thanks for selecting the question and thanks Mark for the kind words. And JoAnne...absolutely NO OFFENSE taken my friend!! :-)
Debate expectations? Realistically, Obama is a dynamic public speaker who should have no problem beating Romney in a live debate.
But, I get the feeling he and his people really didn't want to be doing this against Mitt Romney.
We'll see on Tuesday night, won't we.
No sitting President wants to put his opponent on the stage with him. It elevates the person to an equal standing.
Prior to the joint RNC/DNC commission on presidential debates, the parties used to have regular disputes about many of the points in debates (format, location, date, moderator, etc.)
Now, only viable candidates, those polling 15% or more in 5 different weeks, will be invited to debate. I wonder what will happen if Romney keeps dropping in the polls.
zman: I can out debate obama even if I was drunk and had only 1 hr of sleep. the guy is a buffoon.
DCIA and Grimey. Good question, congratulations for being selected.
Mark and Domenico: Romney has almost set himself an impossible task. He is going into this debate STILL refusing to be specific about what his policies will be. If he continues to try to obfuscate, it just seems to me that it is going to make it harder for him to look, both Presidential and like a serious candidate. Add to that, Romney gets testy fast if he feels like he is being slighted or bested in a contest like this.
On the other hand, President Obama needs to see this as a moment where the pressure is on, and time to put it to bed. He does better under pressure, and if the current polling is making him feel secure, it might drag down his own prospects.
But, thanks for the information, I finally was able to get one of your videos to play.
Hey! I want that information on how to get NBC videos to play..have not been able to play them since msnbc went to nbc....please share what you know. Thanks.
Hi, carolyn:
I'm sorry, I just don't know why this one played. Generally, I can get the video to play through the commercial and then it just stops. This was a random success.
Mark, Domenico: can you put the transcript back on the post?
Sorry, guys, this analysis wasnt very good. First of all, while saying in passing that there is pressure on Obama in the debates, you spent the entire time picking Romney apart, and as usual, giving Obama the NBC free pass.
Second, saying Romney must have a knockout blow in the first debates is an impossible standard.....even the famous Reagan knockout blows in debates were not necessarily considered knockout blows at the time..
So, as was stated in a Politico blog, the first debate story is already written:
"Both candidates landed some punches, but no knockout blow for Romney"..
Feeding the liberal media frenzy that the election is over.
Romney has 3 debates to go after Obama...
The election isnt over.
Sorry, Bob, I disagree. Romney has done far too much damage to himself recently, the slide is has started, and the public view is starting to harden against him.
I really believe this first debate is high stakes for Romney. If he doesn't pull it out as a clear win, his money is going to start to dry up.
Newday - if the new video on Bain gets out Romney is in real trouble!
Obama/Biden 2012
VP Bob,
I will make a bet with you. If Willard wins Virginia I will stay off First Read for 6 months and when the President Wins Virginia, you agree to stay off for 6 months.
Think about it.
Sounds like a bet.
NDD and JoAnne -- Thanks. I think Mark and Domenico did a great job in explaining what Romney has to do. He's the one trailing in the polls. The righties, like Bobby, seem to ignore that!
Bob in Va., I've been saying that for a few months, now.
You also hit the nail right on the head when you picked apart the media's (FIRST READ's) attempt to raise the bar of expectations for Romney, while lowering it for Obama.
The fact of the matter is that Obama MUST come up with an economic plan, not just hollow promises about "recovery," and he must demonstrate that he alone can implement that plan and make it work.
What's more he needs to do it in the first debate.
He may be leading in the polls now.
But, the crowds at his teleprompter events have been fewer in numbers, and much less enthusiastic than they were in 2008.
His lead is only an average of four (4) points, nationally. (or, 1% point outside of the normal margin for error.) John Kerry was down by almost 10 points at this juncture in 2004, and came back to within 3 points by election day. The same kind of comeback would put Romney up by 3 points. (Remember the electoral win by George Bush in 2000......watch Ohio AND Florida AGAIN this year!)
Tuesday is pretty big for BOTH candidates. But as I see it now, most folks think Romney can't hang in there against Obama's hard hitting "rhetoric."
But, as I said before, I think he and his people would rather have been doing this against a Rick Perry or a Rick Santorum. Compared against those two, Romney is much more "moderate" and that might make it more difficult for Obama to "land a clean punch" on him. Especially when it comes to health-care, in lieu of Romney's own initiative as Governor of Massachusetts.
Obama, on the other hand, may have left himself open for a few "jabs" with his lack of leadership regarding the bombing of the consulate in Libya. It was bad P.R. for his people to come out and say that it wasn't an organized/premeditated attack. We'll see if Romney can gain some traction there.
All in all, I look forward to it. It's going to be an exciting night that will give us a better comparison and contrast of both candidates alongside of each other.
DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY!
Hi VP Bob,
It's a bet. I'm giving you the Handshake.

You do spend an awfully lot of time with worldnetdaily and the other mental midgets of the world, don't you?
borderjoe: there is help out there for people like you. Seek it.
Answer these question Romney supporters:
1) Tell me why do you far right Taliban Christians think you are entitled to get into my bedroom?
2) Tell why to you far right Taliban Christians think every Muslin is out to get you?
3) Tell me why you far right Taliban Christians think you are entitled to say what is a marriage?

OBAMA/BIDEN 2012
Ret-MSgt - first thank you for your service. 2nd thank you for an EXCELLENT post!!
Obama/Biden 2012
Tell me why you group all Christians with the Taliban? That seems to say you are a bigot (see Websters online for the definition).
Ret_MSgt, do You REALLY expect an answer when you equate "Romney Supporter" to "far right Taliban Christian??" That alone, will get you an "ignore," let alone your misinformed assumptions in your questions. Just sayin....
Ooooops, my bad, Ret_MSgt, I should have known that the insane one that is looking for sanity would totally agree with your assumptions and provide you with an answer.
Oscar - I don't think he is equating all Christians with the Taliban - just the far righties who believe they should stick their noses into and have control over everyone's life. You just have to read it to understand.
And, yes, looking for sanity in the Republican party but as your posts - along with others show, there is sadly none to be found!
Obama/Biden 2012
ksw--we can fix that--Tealiban Christians! Does that work better for you?
"We have met the enemy and he is us!" Pogo by Walt Kelly
Or just take out "Taliban". Wouldn't that work better?
retired msgt :give me one answer to this question: If obama is so damned concerned with the middle-class and the poor, why will he as he said, "retire to Hi' and be living in a 36million dollar home with a net income of say 15 million, If he truely believes what he says, again about the middle class and the poor, then why can't he live in a two bedroom apartment? or is that just a toiletful of s--t he has been handing out to those who believe in him. I mean. you libs have been complaining about romney and the 1% friends.
Did you want to provide a source on that nonsense, Doc?
Ret- Sober up and try again!!
Your rant is very incoherent!!!

I am looking forward the debate on foreign policy.
thetotas - yes, it will be interesting to see how many MORE of our allies Romney can insult!
Obama/Biden 2012
I was hoping that Obama would finally answer some questions about what happened at our embassy in Libya on September 11th. Why have we been mislead? Why FBI agents have not yet arrived in Benghazi.
SeekingSanity
thetotas - yes, it will be interesting to see how many MORE of our allies Romney can insult!
.........or, which ones Obama will apologize to.

The next one will also be the first one.
Another debunked conservative myth created in their bizarro fantasy-land where tax cuts and spending increases will reduce the deficit.
Facts must have a Liberal Bias.....
ZMan - as has been proved over and over - President Obama hasn't apologized to anyone!
thetotas - why would FBI agents go there? They already have subjects in custody.
Obama/Biden 2012
That was a mistake by the way, I did not intend to post (or "spam") my posting twice.
I got an error message the first time I hit the "post comment" button and when I hit it again it posted up there twice.
My apologies, no bad intent there.
SeekingSanity
No it hasn't. Obama went to Saudi Arabia and promised them we wouldn't take military action against them. As if to say our response to 911 was wrong, and that removing Hussein from power was also wrong. But, he didn't extract any promises from any arab/islamic nation not to allow the fomentation of international terrorist groups hostile to the U.S. within their borders.
You don't have to say a thing "word for word" in order for people to read between the lines and understand your meaning.
Obama DID apologize, and in the world we live in after 911, anyone who supports him should be ashamed of themselves.
DEMOCRATS FOR ROMNEY 2012!
SS,
You're killing me. They have an investigation to carry out. Hopefully gather up evidence.
I'm not ashamed of myself for supporting my commander and chief. Especially, compared to Republican candidate. And, by the way, I am a life long Republican of the Eisenhower era but today's Republican party still smells of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and the others on their team....Not the same honest, responsive party I joined long ago!!!
You can say that again!!!!!
Here's part of the 2002 debate Mark and Domenico mentioned, where Mitt Romney vehemently defends his pro-choice stance and his vow to "preserve and protect a woman's right to choose". Wonder what ever happened to that Mitt Romney?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_w9pquznG4
And wouldn't it be great if Tim Russert were monitoring one of the debates this year? Go Bills, Tim!
Hey, isn't a guy allowed to "evolve????" on a position???? LOL.
Oscar, Romney has "evolved" on so many positions at this point that even Charles Darwin would need a scorecard to keep up.
Patriots are ticked off , they were robbed by the replacement refs just like the Packers...
Patriots 55- Bills 10
I agree, JoAnne. All politicians do it. Including Hussein. Sad, but true.
These debates should be interesting. It will be funny when Odumbo will not even remember his name, that's why Carney will write on the back of his hand! He still believes that there are 57 states , because he says he campaigned in all of them last election! It will be hilarious when he starts naming all of them. We all know that smokin' Joe is out there somewhere in time babbling and running in circles, doing nothing! When Ryan gets through with him., old joe will be ready to be launched into space to try to find himself.
Boy, what a "wish" sandwich!!!!
President Obama is going tear the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" to shreds on all issues. The GOP/RNC "Romulain" has NO one message for America, and has NO policy of his own in all areas. President Obama is a very good debater, and he has the creative ability to stay on task. The President is able to speak clearly, and he stands strongly in his beliefs. President Obama is a fighter for those that are unable to defend themselves, and is excited about representing all Americans. Now the GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" does not have any of these qualities, and he will "Flip-Flop" all over the debate stage. One wonders if the GOP/RNC "Bain Trained" Speculator will want to bet the President during the debates? The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" does not have policies of his own, and he looks to "Richie Rich" Ryan for everything. Which is just pure evil in itself! The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" does NOT believe in himself. So how can our citizens believe in him. The GOP/RNC "Romulian" has NO personality, no social skills, and no ability to show 'Empathy' towards 47% of our citizens that have no sense of responsibility. On Foreign Policy issues? The GOP/RNC "Speculator and Chief" will be using the same policies of the "Chump-Change-Cheney" Foreign Policy Team. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! The Party Of NO has got to GO!
Amen!
progressive: better wake up now. you keep having that same dream.
Doc...
In your case, a wet dream....
Florida GOP Fired Romney Consultant's Voter Registration Firm After Fraudulent Forms Reported in Palm Beach
lol ...you can't even make this stuff up. These guys are buffoons. This isn't the 1980's or 90's where you could get away this scam (pre- global media)
I said it was going to come back and bite them in the A##!! Yet, they were so gung ho to try this and hope they could steal the election for Romney. This will blow up big in the next few weeks. Hmmm...makes you wonder what really happened in that infamous "Bush vs Gore Fl. voter recount" in the 2000 election
In a video made public today, but recorded sometime in the summer of 1985, Mitt Romney explains in frank terms how his then newly-minted private equity firm planned on making money.
"Bain Capital is an investment partnership which was formed to invest in startup companies and ongoing companies, then to take an active hand in managing them and hopefully, five to eight years later, to harvest them at a significant profit," Romney tells employees of Bain & Company, the consulting firm that spawned the new venture.
"If you're head of a large equity firm or hedge fund, your job is to make money. It's not to create jobs. It's not even to create successful businesses. It's to make sure you're maximizing returns for your investor," President Obama said during an interview with CBS in July, seeking to create a divide between Romney's private success and his potential to manage public economic policy.
Romney faced similar criticism during the Republican primary debates, when Texas Gov. Rick Perry accused Bain of engaging in "vulture capitalism."
Hey, Republican have "short" memories!!
It's going to be fun to see them debate each other on everything from foreign, domestic and personal policies because both have evolved over the years!!! The question for all of us which one do you trust that his evolvement is a lasting impression on the way they think now or just a talking point to get votes for there side because rather you Democrat or Republican noboy wants a phony President .
Romney has accused the president of giving the cold shoulder to America’s closest allies.
I guess he means Obama has not insulted Great Britain (Mitt the Twit!), has
not told Israel it does not know where its capital city is, and has not warned that
the Soviet Union is our #1 enemy.
Willard doesn't get it! - Nothing like insulting and disrespecting people, then expecting them to vote for you!
We voters do not want a repeat of what happened in the year 2000. These reports that republicans have manufactured millions of fake ballots to be sneaked in and be mixed with genuine ones must be thoroughly investigated before it is too late. Republicans are now quick at terminating the contracts of the firms they hired to do exactly that and pretending that they were not aware that these firms were faking names and addresses to fill and submitt fake ballots to be counted among the genuine ones.
These discoveries in Florida and other places are just but a tip of an iceberg. There are alot of fraudulent activities being conducted by some groups of people to ensure that fake ballots are sneaked in especially during early voting and through fake absentee ballots. Thousands of Republican absentee ballots are fake as it has been discovered in Florida and thorough investigation must be speedily conducted. There have been plans to make some people with homes in more that one state vote in all those states.
Nowonder Republicans are still talking of winning even when they are badly trailing in the polls.
Come on now! You can't really believe that "stuff" is still happening can you?

After the debate, and after the election, President Obama should make sure to thank Mitt Romney for all the republican, undecided and independent votes he will undoubtedly receive after that most disastrous 47% diatribe. I do believe that was the turning point in this election. Everything since has just reaffirmed what he stated as his true opinion of what he thinks of the American people. We are nothing more to him than a commodity to be used and then discarded.
The Romney Campaign has just posted a new slogan for Mitt:
"I am NOT as big a crook or liar as Nixon!"
Romney could win if he got into the nitty gritty details of tax reform and differnent changes he would make as the president...... but you know darn well he won't. He is not capable of depth and thinks you just vote for him because obama is bad.. .It won't fly mitty ---people need to know what you want to do and how your gonna do it.........Unlike obama against mccain who was a devout lefty and had a bimbo as vp. They couldn't handle an empty head like palin...and also a lot of folks protested the war of convenience in iraqi so obama got the nod. Now, they know what he is about and love the extra trillion the govt spends per year on perks. ..... .... It will be fluff on both sides and both side will claim victory. Its not enough to turn the tables.

Due to all of the fraud and corruption coming out of the Odumbo camp., I'm sure we will see millions of voters coming out of their graves, to vote for this useless do-nothing. NO, ODUMBO, we do not need any photo ID., do we? Now it looks like 90% of your votes will be coming from the grave. You are a disgrace!
It's people like you that helped coin the phrase "dumb American". You pay no attention to what is going on around you. You live inside your head and actually think that what you believe is true. I doubt that you've ever read a book and it appears your news source is Rush Limbaugh.

My expectation is that Obama will clean Bishop Romney's clock tomorrow sending the Bishop out of Colorado with his tail firmly planted between his legs. The Republicans will recoil, stay away from the Bishop and try to salvage a smidgen of this election that Romney has completely destroyed.
