[quote=Anonymous]Sorry, but the GOP got smoked in the conventions.  The GOP came out with a mixed bag of presenters, a big mess with Eastwood, and a Romney address that fell flat.  Result: no bounce.  The spin was that conventions don't matter.

But the Dems rocked it.  Their speakers were strong, the content on target, Obama did not great but good, and the polls clearly show that conventions still matter because they got the bounce.

So, on to the debates.  The GOP should be scared.  Romney is going to have to get specific for the first time in his campaign, and he will have to defend the contradiction between his criticisms of Obama and his own record as governor.  Ryan will have to debate the details of his plan against an experienced VP who is not even responsible for being the ticket's budget accountant.  It's a one-sided contest.  Meanwhile the strengths and weaknesses of the current administration are already known to the voters.  So the Republicans have little room to go up and the Dems only go down if they make a huge and unlikely mistake.
