High Expectations for Romney in Debate

Michelle Cottle: "Romney may be a good debater. He may even be a great debater. But at this point his team has fumbled the expectations game to the point where the governor will need to perform at a level well above anything we've seen from him to date if he wants to pull off the "W." Just holding his own against the president -- often a challenger's primary hurdle -- won't change the game, and, at this point, a game changer is what people are demanding."

Do you think Romney is a good--even great--debater?

On what we saw in the primaries when he demolished Gingrich in Florida, I'd say yes. Remember he hired a new debate coach...Brett O'Donnell, who crafted him a new "debate personality" I'm sure that they are simply keeping it under wraps that O'Donnell is working with Mittens again.
