Romney won the second debate Oct 17th 2012, 13:00 By scoring big on the economy, gas prices, and Libya, Romney continued his victorious string of debate wins. He looked more presidential than Obama did and showed himself to be an articulate, capable, attractive, compassionate leader with sound ideas. Obama came over as boorish and Biden-esque. He did not learn from his Vice President's mistakes. When a president gets into a bar room brawl, he loses his dignity and his aura, key assets for an incumbent. Romney was polite but firm. Obama seemed quarrelsome, frustrated, nasty, and cranky. But the key reason for the Romney win was substantive: 1. Romney made very clear the case against Obama's economic record and Obama's rebuttal about 5 million jobs was pathetic. 2. Romney injected the China issue, big time, and tapped into a strong public sentiment on the issue. 3. Romney made the effective case that Obama is anti-oil, coal, and gas and that this has doubled gas prices. 4. Romney was very effective in differentiating himself from Bush-43 and in establishing that, unlike the GOP of the past, he was for small businesses not big businesses 5. Romney rebutted the attacks on him over Chinese investments. 6. Romney explained his tax plan well and to everyone's satisfaction. 7. Obama erred in trying to make us believe that he always felt Libya was a terror attack. We all heard him blame the movie. Obama scored points over the 47% statement by Romney, immigration, and by his response to the accusation that he went to Vegas after the murder of the Ambassador. But this debate goes to Romney. It seals his momentum and will lead to a big win. Dick Morris is a Fox News contributor and author.
