Strong words and not true. I also asked Christie if Romney would shake things up on Wednesday and the New Jersey governor told me that the debate would be a positive turning point for Romney. "I mean, every time Mitt Romney has been confronted in this campaign with one of these moments, he has come through in the debate and performed extraordinarily well, laying out his vision very clearly, and also contrasting himself and his vision with whoever his opponent was at that time," Christie said. So I have absolute confidence that, when we get to Thursday morning, George, all you're going to be shaking your head, saying it's a brand-new race with 33 days to go.  For his part, Plouffe said Romney has more to gain from the debate and added that the president would lay out his plan for the next four years. "We believed all along that Governor Romney probably has more benefit out of this debate potentially than we do," said Plouffe. "But what we're going to tell the American people on Wednesday night, as we have through the whole campaign, is exactly where we are as a country, where we need to go, how we rebuild an economy that makes the middle class secure, and with great detail so people understand, when - if this president gets re-elected, what he's going to do for them, for the middle class, in the next four years," he said.
