Quote from Tsing Tao:

I probably should elaborate a little more.

It is hard to beat the President on Foreign Policy knowledge when the President has all the information tied to his life, and all of the intelligence flowing into his person. What Romney chose to do, instead, is go for the stalemate on the foreign policy stuff, with the intent of driving home what more people thing to be the pivotal issue in the election - the economy.

Let us not forget that a 2008 Senator Obama wasn't all that well versed in foreign policy back then, and really only had to show up to work to get applause after the warmongering that Bush put forth. Obama learned what he has now from on-the-job training. It's just a shame he didn't do so on the domestic front.

If you click the above link and watch the undecided voters in the focus group, you'll note that essentially all of them voted for Obama in the last round, yet all of them (save one or two) now note that the economy is the number one issue. They all admit Obama won the debate, and that he has more information on the foreign policy side of the equation, but they also realize, and agree with Mitt that, to strengthen ourselves in the world, we need to fix the economy.

And out of the two candidates on stage last night, Mitt is the only one who can do that.

How is Mitt going to fix the economy, Tsing? Besides not renewing the Bernank's contract, what else is there?

Won't be an Alabamian much longer moving to Florida in 2 months to avoid tax on unearned income.

That is the question and Romney's plan seems to be " trust me ".

The government can't fix the economy but it can sure wreck it. Let me ask you something bigarrow. Do you make money? If you do, is it because of the government or what you actually do? Think about it and get back to me.

Romney lost this debate although he wasn't nearly as catatonic as Obama was in the first debate.

But neither one was going to win the vote based on foreign policy - this is an election about the economy.

Even in defeat, Intrade is still trending toward Romney in spite of last night.

Yeah, it is due to government. We trade because of our beautiful infrastructure.
