Telegraph Live - US: Reports the following in its 1.20pm post, " Several polls have Obama moving ahead of Mitt Romney, achieving the desired post-convention "bounce".
Lets Get Real:
This is the afterglow of the DNC folks, and more to do with the praised speech of the 1st Lady and President Clinton, the Obama speech was all TAX HIKES and BIG GOVERNMENT, also for Obama it got quite a critical mauling. Lets see the Polls by the end of the week, if your a Republican its not the time to lose your bottle, the fight has just started. The NEXT big event is the debates between President Obama and Governor Romney and the VP debate between Biden and Ryan. In the Obama and Romney clash the Republican nominee should just be himself, do not try to be a Reagan, your not, your not that funny, also do not be folksy like Bush 43, that is not YOU. Governor Romney has to define himself as a successful businessman, a man that can get the US out of its economic hole as he did for the winter Olympics. Romney should leave the rhetoric to Obama, keep it simple and to the point, let Obama talk class warfare while Romney appeals to the Middle Class. One would have to give the edge to Obama, but that was said of Senator Kerry in 2004 and he lost the debates to Bush 43. In the debates you can have a hollow victory, by presentation you win but you lose on substance, that was the failure of Gore in 2000. In 1980 the Carter camp wanted Reagan to be the nominee, they saw him as a easy walk over, that was a great mistake to make, the Republicans were in power for 12 years. In 1960 Nixon was seen as the best debater when it came down to Nixon vs Kennedy, but in the 1st debate of 1960 based on style reviews on the TV, the debate was WON by Kennedy, while on radio the debate was won by Nixon. But then it was the TV age, and Kennedy moved in to the Oval in 1961. Lets hope Romney does not over do it with this debate prep, that was the mistake made by the great Ronald Reagan in 1984, he was soundly beaten by VP Mondale and there were concerns about the age of the Gipper, but then in the 2nd debate Reagan was more rested and he destroyed Mondale with a joke. The race was over, even Mondale knew it, that is the importance of debates folks.
