Watching last night’s debate, I’m more struck than ever that Obama may be able to fight the economic policy issues to a draw. Romney-Ryan still haven’t answered the blame-Bush narrative, and that combined with scaring people about Romney-Ryan on taxes and entitlements have probably pulled Obama-Biden up to a parity on the economy. And it’s hard to see what’s going to change that in the final three weeks.

Which means, as I suggested a couple of weeks ago, that foreign policy could well be the election tie-breaker. And there’s fresh information for voters in this area, because there’s breaking news, and it’s not news that’s good for the administration. I’m referring to Libya, of course, which led last night’s debate and where Biden’s less-than-candid answer provided a huge opening for the Romney campaign to follow up.
