After Mitt Romney won the first debate and Barack Obama rebounded in the second one, Monday night's matchup on foreign policy had special importance. As the AP put it in an advance story,
"For most of the 2012 election season, President Obama's foreign policy record was a major advantage over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. A month ago, Obama maintained a 53 percent to 38 percent edge over his opponent on international issues in a Pew Research Center survey. … Now, voters give Obama a narrow 47 percent to 43 percent lead on foreign policy.
"The Democratic incumbent is hoping that he can use the third debate to regain a clear advantage on global issues. And the former Massachusetts governor is hoping to use it to close the deal with any voters who haven't yet made up their minds."
OK, so whaddya think?
