You should be. It’s on Wednesday and it’s going to be an exercise is squirming. I have this horrible feeling Mitt’s going to make me feel REALLY embarrassed for him. Apparently he’s practicing “zingers” which will be absolutely awful if he doesn’t deliver them correctly. Unfortunately, Mitt is one of the worst public speakers to hit the stage in years. He’s fine reading from a script, he’s fine in front of his .01% buddies but not so fine under pressure. The awkward laughs, the gaffes, the stiff mannerisms will all be on display Wednesday.
The zingers will be terrible because it will be just as obvious as Palin’s “There you go again, Joe” crack. And it will fall just as flat. Mitt is spontaneous the same way a conservative is compassionate towards a single black lesbian mother. In fact, the Romney campaign is already lowering everyone’s expectations. And unlike Sarah Palin’s extremely lowered bar, in which all she had to do was not drool on herself, Romney won’t have the luxury of just showing up to the debate to claim “victory.” It’s going to be cringe worthy.
At the same time, I’ll want to throttle the lying bastard because he’s going to be slinging the bullshit like the Koch brothers dish out bribes. Fortunately, or UNfortunately for Romney, Obama will be standing right there and will be more than happy to tear Mitt a new one. Clinton showed him the way to debunk the right and that’s with simple and indisputable facts. I’m going to have my popcorn ready and Twitter fired up!
I will be watching at the local campaign office. This should be good.
I wish they had agreed to fact checkers. I think it would have been good if they could have just use buzzers during the debate, each time a lie left his lips he was buzzed.
