I’ve already cast my ballot, so tonight’s debate comes too late for Romney to persuade me to join his Randian crusade. Then again, presidential debates probably don’t have a significant impact on the final outcome. It’s possible that Obama could contract a sudden case of foot-in-mouth disease, but it’s more likely that the dynamic of the race will continue on its present course. Unless Romney completely retools his campaign or external events intervene, the President simply has to play it cool for the next month until the clock runs out.
Democrats should be anything but complacent, but I didn’t expect to be writing the above paragraph a few months ago.
