"Adjustments" in strategy?  What was the strategy last night, again?

The people want to see more Sidney Poitier in A Raisin in the Sun and less Booker T. Washington.

Obama just needs to act like he acts when he's campaigning. His rally in Colorado today was fantastic. Show that enthusiasm and energy during the next debate and he'll be back in control of the race.

Good. I expect to see way more aggressive attacks on Romney.

Something odd from that rally. Obama talked about how "the foreign policy debate when we meet next", but the next debate is the town hall on all topics. The FP debate is the third and last. It made me think that maybe Obama really isn't fully engaged. He should know which debate is next

Whenever Obama attacked during the debate, his numbers dropped.  He has to show enthusiasm without attacking.

His attacks were not shop, but they cost him support.  If he goes sharper, it could hurt him a lot more.

he doesn't need to 'attack', just highlight where Romney has said something during the campaign and where he reversed tack or outright lied in the debate...

As soon as he referred to Romney negatively, Obama's numbers dropped, even when it was for legitimate policy comparisons.  I was surprised.

Well, had Clint brought in the empty chair, it might not have been quite so bad.

It is recoverable.
