"Romney can stumble when he veers off script". How about the president? They let him off the teleprompter and he utters the now infamous, " You didn't build it" rant.

"Obama tends to be long-winded, professorial, and not geared for sound bites." It's really sad that these are considered "liabilities" in a presidential debate.
The most recent polls show Obama ahead of Romney by 3 to 6% in Colorado, and since there is a history in Colorado of liberals dodging participation in polls, it is likely to be a larger margin. This puts Romney in a defensive stance, which he typically stumbles with. This bodes well for Romney continuing to put his foot in his mouth, allowing Obama to continue to calmly stick to the facts our situation.
