As we turn towards the third and final presidential debate – Tuesday at noon on SBS – the debate devoted to foreign policy matters, it is reported that the Mullahs in Iran are being panicked at the thought that Romney might be elected. This comes via Powerline:
Iran’s government mouthpiece Press TV is panicking over the prospect of a defeat for President Barack Obama and warns that Mitt Romney will steal the election through ‘black-box’ voting machines that ‘manufacture election outcomes.’
It also charged that the polls – virtually all of which now show Romney in the lead or at least in a dead heat – are fraudulent. Press TV has picked up on some American website tweets that predict black Americans will riot if Obama loses.
They sound like Democrats which mutatis mutandis is just what they are. We will also see the sequel to the Benghazi story, this time with a different moderator.
Just as the stone age morons were spooked by a certain Ronnie Reagan, back in the day.

Leftists and the Dems are much the more pernicious threat to western cultural democracy, the Enlightenment, classical liberalism and advanced human culture than radical Islamists
The only exception is sexual liberty.
There the radical Islmaists have it over leftists

Some baseline numbers.
Romney : Obama (oe equivalent proxy ie Rep v Dems).
2.92 : 1.52 Betfair
2.88 : 1.40 Sportsbet
2.90 : 1.40 Centrebet
2.90 : 1.40 Sportingbet
2.85 : 1.40 TAB
I’m still kicking myself I missed the 5.10 on offer for Romney prior to the first debate but the cash didn’t arrive in my betfair account in time. When it turned up, Romney had tightened into 3′s.

I still think there’s a high chance of another debate blowout. It depends on how disciplined Obama has been since the previous debate. An hour and a half is a long time and you can be sure that Romney’s workshopped all the angles.

Agreed dd, it is difficult to see how Obams can neutralize “Fast and Furious” as an issue, let alone Benghazi and he can’t spend the entire debate saying “He” got Osama.

I pray to God he excoriates Obumma on Benghazi ineptitude/unpreparedness and subsequent Obumma cover-up.
I expect he will do the former but not the latter unfortunately.
It will be sitting down across a table also unfortunately.
I expect Romney will trip Obumma up across many areas tomorrow.
Romney is very well informed and thoughtful on foreign affairs whilst Obumma is deeply uncomfortable and has no undergirding rational doctrine.
