Last debate: Expectations

They're going to talk about how China is ruining America's economy. They'll both make China sound bad and promise they will stop China from being so bad. Romney might try to sound tougher, but I doubt most will understand the difference between their policies.

Obama will make fun of Romney for thinking Russia is our major threat.

Romney will attack Obama for Libya - which doesn't seem like that big a deal to me

Romney will attack Obama for the gun walking to Mexico thing - which has no real details for anyone.


Neither side will explain specifically how they will fix the Euro-zone problem. (Which I think has a greater impact on the domestic economy than Russia/China.)


Obama will brag how he ordered special forces to kill Bin Laden. (Which is the fruition of intelligence garnered from W. Bush's years of work. So Obama will blame Bush for the bad things, but will take credit for the good things.)

Romney will brag how he won't cut military spending - and get challenged by Obama.

Obama will not "sleep through the debate" - like he was accused of during debate #1.

I doubt the debate will change anyone's mind about who to vote for, but Romney supporters will be fired up to vote for Romney, and Obama supporters will be encouraged to show up on election day.
