Issues Under Fire: 2nd Debate Reduces Romney to Great Salesmen Pitching Lousy Products

Beyond the smiles, the glad handing and wild promises of 12 million new American jobs, most of the "peeps we surveyed agreed, Romney's plans just can't pass muster. Exposed as a great salesmen pitching a lousy product line, Mr. Romney relied upon well honed skills of persuasion to dazzle wary supporters, independents and undecideds. 

During his second shot at selling the dream of "a vote for Romney is a vote for immediate prosperity," the former governor fell short of convincing the non-committed of his commitment to serving all Americans equally. Even being given a pass by the President on the red hot 47% issue, Romney could not close the empathy gap.

Like any seasoned sales professional, Mr. Romney gathered intel on his prospects (the American people). He tried to comprehend the American people's needs and what they'd object to in having those needs met. The governor proceeded to meet what he could only imagine the needs of the American are and through the force of sheer salesmanship, attempted to overcome any objections a campaign weary nation would have to a Romney presidency. 

Believe it or not, as outlandish a strategy as Romney's blatantly appears to be, (the bigger the lie, the easier it is to sell) may have even worked a second time had the international pitchman prepared for some overdue push back. Thrown of guard by President Obama's well timed interruptions to challenge deceptions and distortions, the sometimes stammering drummer got flustered to the point of bullying the moderator to regain his footing. 

From our perspective, Mr. Romney's domestic policy remains purposefully indecipherable and if understood, patently implausible. His foreign policy is equally vague and confounding, save for his hardline on China, everlasting support for the State of Israel and a willingness to break the bank spending on defense. Hardly a path worth considering by active minds. In our final analysis, short of some mind boggling October surprise, we're certain the American electorate will politely thank Mr. Romney for his time and entertaining presentation and promptly send him on his merry way.
