Kevin Dayhoff The Tentacle Dialogue on the Presidential Election


October 10, 2012

Dialogue on the Presidential Election Elections 2012, Elections 2012 presidential, Politics debates


Recently, political science professor Dr. Herb Smith, the McDaniel College director of government relations, brought together a distinguished panel at the college in Westminster for a local “Dialogue on the Presidential Election.”

Just as early voting has begun in many states, and the date of the traditional fall general election is within weeks, now is the time that our country turns to the podium and stage for the debate edition of presidential reality theatre.

Many have been surprised that the Republican presidential challenger, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, did as well as he did during the first presidential debate in Denver on October 3.

That 52-point gap was the largest the polling outfit has ever seen, topping even Bill Clinton's 42-point margin over George H. W. Bush in 1992…”

Rick Weldon, read, “A Slam-Dunk Election Snapshot.” “Employing language familiar to basketball fans, the first presidential debate of the 2012 election cycle resulted in a slam dunk for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney,” says Delegate Weldon… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5389

Obama: Debate prep for round two ‘going great’


President Obama on Sunday said his preparation for the next debate with GOP challenger Mitt Romney is proceeding nicely.

“It is going great” Obama told a reporter after he brought pizza to workers at a Williamsburg, Va. campaign office, according to a pool report.

Obama arrived at a resort in Williamsburg Saturday afternoon for three days of debate preparation as the campaign seeks to prevent another sub-par showing against Romney.

Obama was widely seen as losing badly in his Oct. 3 debate against Mitt Romney, a battle that preceded a boost in Romney’s poll numbers.

But campaign advisers said viewers should expect a more aggressive, energetic performance from the president when Obama and Romney meet for their second debate Tuesday in Hempstead, New York… http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/261949-obama-debate-prep-is-going-great
