Mitt is hanging his hopes on two things: The debates and a negative advertising blitz

It's pretty clear that this will be his tactic in the final 6 weeks. He's been bypassing campaigning to raise more wads of money and his Super Pacs are flush. He's already sent out more than a million anti-Obama cds. He has a new negative ad out called "Mute". I think that over the next weeks we'll see an avalanche of vile ads from him and his cronies.

He's dedicated a lot of time already to debate prep. My guess is he's madly studying Reagan and that he'll attempt to be affable and to deliver a knock out blow a la "There you go again".

I don't see him succeeding.

I'm hoping that he can at least go through PART of the debate, without melting down...

They don't really care about the polls - they will suppress polling places, voting hours, voter registration, and voters.

It's still a little too early for him to tip his hand with regard to any dirty tricks he may have up his sleeve.

The embassy riots seemed to be orchestrated, who knows what they can come up with next--especially with Romney's little friend in Israel.

He as something like 85 million more in PAC money than the President and in his own campaign coffers he still has 35 million or more after repaying his 20 million dollar debt.

on racism and a bottomless well of money for BS advertising.

The real question remains just how stupid are half the American people?
