Could John Kerry Blow Another Election? 

Doug Simon’s debate ‘insights’ include:

•  “With the exception of Dole vs Clinton, the last seven presidential debates against incumbents have all been won by the challenger going back to Jimmy Carter.”
• “Obama would have been judged un-presidential if he attacked Romney.”
• “Obama’s one strategy that could have made it a draw maybe would have been highlighting the difference between the Republican platform and his positions – preventing Romney from taking the middle.”

The predicted plan for Obama:

• Rely on Jon Stewart
• Strengthen reaction to Libya before the VP debate
• Turn Joe Biden loose
