Yea, that's just some stereotype that has been perpetrated by right wing talk radio. Everyone was talking about how he was going to fail miserably against McCain in the debates cause he's an empty suit etc... and it wasn't even close. Obama did a great job. I'm thinking that this will be very similar to that. Does Obama have a fantastic record to run on? No, but he does have some high points that he can emphasize and if he keeps bringing those up he'll do fine. I saw most of the Republican debates, Romney has his work cut out for him. Especially if he refuses to answer any questions leading up to the debate. Obama has not delivered on all of his promises, that goes without saying, but if you bring up one of them, say closing Guantanamo, all he has to say is that he can't do it by himself and hasn't had enough support in congress, or something to that effect. It's much easier to explain that than for Romney to explain why he's scared to release tax records (especially with his dad's stance on the issue), his refusal to answer so many questions and take a stand on so many issues, Romney can't bring up healthcare in any meaningful way. Sure he can attack Obama all day long, and right fully so, Obama needs to be criticized where he hasn't done a great job, but that only goes so far. If Romney can't explain anything that he supports that while connect with independents, I don't see how he comes out of the debates with a snowballs chance.
