9. I think that of course Obama will do better than Mitt

I remember when Kerry debated Bush II, that Kerry was so obviously the better candidate and yet Bush had many supporters and liked his swagger. And that Kerry should have come down harder on Bush.

I don't think Obama will be as gentlemanly as Kerry. He has grace and a peacefulness, but he will use advantages that he has to make Mitt look bad.

And I don't think Mitt has Bush II sense of playing it like being a "good ole boy". And Mitt won't be able to play off Obama very well.

So I think Obama will do well.
