While Romney's performance in last night's debate addressed--if only momentarily--the second objective, he is yet to do anything that helps him realize the first goal. MOO, the circle Romney needs to square so he can achieve the first objective is getting vocal elements of the right to tone down some of the rhetoric. Less background noise would give members of the far left have more opportunities to realize that the president is an opportunistic technocrat and not a true believer in leftist progressivism.

IMHO 1 has already happened to some extent. The youth vote is gone. There is no reason for them to show up and vote for the One. Too many of them are out of college and living in their bedroom of their youth.
I think he did a pretty good job of accomplishing 2 and 3 last night. If the on the fence focus groups on any chanel are even 50% accurate he changed the narrative last night.
Ryan is going to KILL Biden next week. Ryan is the ace in hole Romney has about exciting his base.
We'll see
