With the 3rd Debate, Obama has Become the Challenger
October 23, 2012
By Daniel Greenfield
No doubt plenty of conservatives wanted a more reactive and aggressive Romney. But as I said last time, the purpose of these debates is not to score points. Its to appear in charge. This late in the game, the shift has already happened.
Obama came into the 3rd debate as the challenger and acted like it, launching attack after attack at Romney. But Romney, in a turn from his previous debate performance, took on a laid back attitude. The two men had switched roles and Romneys goal was to maintain his lead by alienating as few voters as possible.
The election is Romneys to lose. Obama has nothing left to lose. That is what you saw in this debate. Romney had the ball and Obama did everything he could to get it from him. He failed.
