Swing State Scorecard: Romney On Target in Final Debate

The key to understanding Governor Mitt Romney's victory in the third and final presidential debate is to look at how the positions he took matched the preferences of voters in certain swing states. As Breitbart News noted yesterday, several swing states have constituencies with particular interests in foreign policy. While President Barack Obama seemed to want to create an overall impression of strength, Romney subtly hit the key points.

Here is how the candidates matched up to the criteria laid out for each swing state where foreign policy counts:

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. It’s 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 Romney’s goal was to maintain his lead by alienating as few voters as possible.

The election is Romney’s 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.

If you support Romney, you will see it that way. I saw it just the opposite as Obama looked to be in complete command of issues, where Romney looked tentative and kept saying "I agree with Obama". The real question is how did people see it who are sitting on the fence or are leaning slightly toward one candidate or the other but may still be willing to change their mind.

We truly won't know how whether this last debate had any effect for about a week.
 
Well, for sure battlewagons aren't much use against terrorists.

Romney's comments were about two generations out of context. Same as the policies he promotes.

Guess we will see where our nation wants to go in about two weeks.
 
Obama at the Third Debate: Misstatements or Outright Lies?

The general reaction of all those interviewed was that the president's statements appeared to be petty and rude, coming off as personal attacks. They considered the best line of the night when Romney said, "Attacking me is not an agenda." As Hayden noted, "trategically, President Obama failed because he was unable to prove Romney should not have been on the same stage with him, since the Governor was responsible, knowledgeable, and calm. The president did not have a knock-out punch and was unsuccessful in trying to make the governor out as dangerous. There were two men on stage; one was president, and the other was presidential."
