About the pre-debate downplaying, Limbaugh noted that Obama has never underestimated himself. This is Romney’s chance, Hannity added, arguing that if Romney takes the right punches, it’ll provoke Obama’s arrogance. And it’ll have to be Romney, Coulter said, because the moderators won’t be doing it.
