I think Obama will win the debates, because he has a lot more to lose than does Romney. If Obama loses just one of these debates, with the current state of the economy, he'd better start packing his bags and hiring some movers for Sunday, 20 January 2013. I think he knows it, too. If Romney loses the election, he doesn't lose a whole lot except, possibly, the potential of a 3rd run at the White House in 2016. If Obama loses, not only will he lose his job, but his reputation will largely be damaged on the fact that he promised hope and change, but nothing happened. He can blame the Republican Congress all he wants, but, ultimately, the American People place all the blame and credit on the President. The Republican Congress will have their "day in court" on Tuesday, 4 November, 2014.
I do not agree. Romney has much more to lose.
1. These politicians have a dream, a dream to be president of the United states, whether for
4 or for 8 years. If Romey loses, his dream is over. Obama was President, no one can take
his time in the White House away.
2. If Romey wins, his campaining in 2007 - 2012 with all these speeches, debates, financial
and physically efforts led to a (glory) victory. If not he will ask himself or his family will ask
him whether it was worth it. Obamas campaining 2007/2008 was successfull and his
campaining in 2012 is part of his White House-job. He will never get the feeling all was
for nothing.
3. To lose in times with great economic problems is not a desaster, Carter did ist, Bush sr.
did it. The expectations today should be that the opponent wins, not the president.
