Last nights debate proved it to me. You cant debate too strongly against the incumbent when it comes to foreign policy. The Incumbent has such a huge positional advantage on current matters.Romney deftly avoided the pitfalls of debating the Incumbent by pre-debate feinting on Benghazi, then making the focus on traditional foreign policy such as military strength and Americas role in the world. It was about Romney making himself look reasonable and knowledgeable. HE even managed to pull OBama into a trap on Military strength making him opposed to it.Romney avoided the pitfalls of a town hall type debate by not going into social theories and not coming across as snotty or snobbish.Romneys chief criticism came during the first debate, on American Economic policy ... where Obama was the weakest, he made his strongest attacks. You pick the losers was the best line Ive ever heard in a campaign.Romney played rope a dope up until the first debate. He hung back, didnt try and define himself, didnt waste his money pre-debate while allowing Obama to wast all that air time prior. Now Obama is going to come up short money wise as the first debate wiped all the negatives away that OBama had spent considerable time and effort building up.Sun Tsu would be proud.</blockquote>
