There is a lot of noise about the predictable poll tightening right now. I expect they will tighten more after the debate.

Historically, the challenger does get a bit of traction from the debates.

But I don't see how Romney navigates that narrow path you mention unless he can make a positive case for himself. He seems incapable of doing that.

Again historically, no one has ever come back from the apparent deficit from which Mr. Romney suffers at this point.
