Given our collapsing economy, everybody thinks Romney should be thrashing Obama, but I'm not so sure this is true. Carter was ahead of Reagan before the debates. But Lew Rockwell has a good point that applies to both cases. Romney is a honest warmonger. Obama pretends he isn't a warmonger. The majority of Americans don't want war with Iran, but Romney promises to start one. It's not possible to improve life in the US if our government starts a war with Iran, and the American people know it. Reagan was seen as a warmonger too, and that might have been why Carter was ahead of him until the debates, but during the debates, Americans learned he wasn't going to start a war with the Soviets. He was going to bankrupt them. Romney doesn't have that option. I think the other things I mentioned the other day are having a significant effect too. I don't believe that WWIII will be avoided by Obama. No matter who wins, they will start WWIII with Iran. No matter how screwed you think we are, I bet we're more screwed.
