Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Cheat Sheet

George Wenschhof

More analysis of the first presidential debate is sure to be on tap for the Sunday morning "talking heads".

Republicans will be touting a strong performance by Mitt Romney and Democrats will be pointing out all of the misinformation put out by Romney in the debate.

It is also likely, some discussion will take place on the upcoming vice president debate scheduled for Thursday night.  Republicans will be hoping Representative Paul Ryan delivers a strong performance against Vice President Joe Biden.

While, Democrats will be looking for Biden to stop whatever momentum Romney may have after the first debate.  Polls released Sunday will be the first to include three full days following the debate and will be more indicative of the impact of the first debate on undecided voters.

Also, sure to be discussed is the drop in the unemployment rate to 7.8%.  Republicans are crying the books were "cooked" and Democrats say the drop illustrates President Obama's economic plan is working and would have worked even better had there been Republican cooperation in Congress.

With a future foreign policy presidential debate, look to see Republicans bring up the tragedy in Libya which resulted in the death of U.S. Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans.  They will try to paint the president as weak on foreign policy and the Middle East in particular, also pointing to the U.S. policy toward Iran.
