Here is my prediction for the second Obama-Romney debate:

I think it’s going to be a draw, which will ultimately work slightly to President Barack Obama’s advantage.

Because the president was widely viewed as having lost the first debate, the proverbial bar has been set so low for him this time that any kind of reasonably energized showing will likely be applauded as a marked improvement.

Here is my last minute prediction on the first Obama-Romney debate:

I think Mitt Romney is going to win it. This has nothing to do with the forensic skills of either Romney or Obama, and everything to do with the media.

Historically speaking, they tend to try to make political stories as “exciting” as possible, and as such, usually tend to award “victory” to whichever participant in a debate was perceived as the “underdog” going into it.
