Democratic National Committee predicts Romney will win first debate vs. Obama



It's a further lowering of expectations ahead of the first debate in Denver next week. Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse tells Fox News he thinks Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney will win. Yes, he told Fox News and they're evil, but he still said it.

Woodhouse says the way the DNC sees it, challengers win the first debate when they are up against incumbents.

"Mitt Romney has had a lot more time to debate, the president has not debated in the past four years in terms, of a campaign debate. I think the president will hold his own, but he's not known for sound bites. And these are 60 second, 90 second responses." It's nice to see he's providing excuses for the sheep to repeat before hand.

Woodhouse says Democrats are "trying to be realistic about expectations" because the president is "lucky to be able to devote three consecutive hours to debate preparation." Oh, please... Lucky??? They all devote time to debating before an election.

Woodhouse also paints Romney as a good debater and gives him credit for "dispatching Newt Gingrich" who Woodhouse considers a pretty good debater.

Woodhouse said he wants to see Obama "talk from his heart about where the country was and where he wants to take the country."

He's looking to see the president connect with Americans during the debate, the way Woodhouse thinks Obama was able to do in Charlotte during the Democratic National Convention.

The first debate will focus on the economy, and Woodhouse wants specifics from Romney on his economic plans.

"It's going to be interesting to see if Mitt Romney will bring more than just zingers to get under the president's skin," he said. "It would be nice if he came with some substance for example like his tax plan or his plan to voucher-size Medicare."

Meanwhile, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie predicted Romney will do "extraordinarily well" in Wednesday night's debate.

Speaking on CBS' "Face the Nation," Christie conceded that it's been a "tough couple of weeks" for Romney in his campaign and there's no way to "sugarcoat" that.

But, Christie predicted after the first debate, "this whole race is going to be turned upside down."

Every time Romney was backed into a corner during the GOP nomination fight, he "came out with a great debate performance because that's where he shines," Christie added.

This is a fantastic set up. If Obama loses the debate they can say they told us so and therefore it's not a big deal, but if Obama wins they can jump to the sky saying, "Wow... Obama is amazing. See how he won against Mit when we didn't think he could?"

Okay... Now all you Obama supporters your marching orders have been given, now STEP IN LINE!!!

Another brilliant insight from birtherplanet. They can't fool you. Nobody is talking about candidates managing debate expectations. Thanks for explaining it to us.

Before heading out on my bike this morning, I turned my tv to the proper channel to begin recording the first half of the noon football game in case I went further on my ride than planned..

The elite roundtable of Faux News analysts were predicting a Romney win because the "new guy always wins the first debate."

Apparently you didn't notice this thread that I posted...

viewtopic.php?f=5&t=277791

Try to notice the title of the thread this time when you go there.


But you get an E for Effort! In fact, I can't stop laughing at how you raced around the net to find all of those links even though you already saw a thread I already posted about what Romney is doing as well!

And danzig fell right in line!

You two must be hysterical at dinner parties!

They're fucking funny as well. If I recall, Dole got his ass handed to him by Clinton during their first debate.

If getting your ass handed to you in a debate is hysterical, you must be the funniest motherfucker on the planet.

THE FACTS: Under Obama, and Despite the Fact that Republicans have Shot Down EVERY jobs bill he has tried to pass, We have had 30 Straight months of Job Creation with many more on the way. vs loosing 700,000 to 800,000 a month during Republican Administration! He has a Plan for paying down the National debt. Obama is kicking terrorist butt; AND Obama is bringing back manufacturing to our shores in a big way. The BGOV Barometer shows U.S. factory positions have grown since early 2010. It’s the best showing since the era of Clinton, and he has authorized utilizing our country’s 100 year natural gas supply, creating batteries and other types of alternative energy supplies with,designated millions of acres in the country and offshore for oil drilling, and for the first time in 10 years, we are producing and exporting more than we are importing, etc..
