LESSON ONE: Never underestimate President B.H. Obama.
In this first debate of the 2012 season, all of the pundits are asking "Why didn't Obama mention the 47%, Bain Capital and other points?"
Easy, Obama and his strategists knew that Romney would be expecting these questions. Romney would have answers ready, and Obama didn't want clarification of these items with 50 million people listening.
If the 47% were laid to rest, a month of hammering on this would be lost.
Additionally, by avoiding points that are the backbone of the Democratic campaign rhetoric, he knew the media would dwell on this ad infinitum today and the rest of the week. As usual, Obama's adoring media is doing the job for him.
So the doubt continues.
More later.
