Can Romney Best Obama in Debates? Maybe Not, Says Rob Portman

Ohio Senator Rob Portman is prepping Mitt Romney for the upcoming debates, playing the role or President Obama (ha - now there's an incongruent thought!). And while faint-hearted Democrats are wringing their hands and imagining that Romney can turn the debates into a major rally for him by appearing coherent, likable, warm and consistent agains a president who, they claim, hasn't debated in a while, Portman doesn't think so.

He told Politico,

Barack Obama is a very effective debater. He’s articulate, he’s smart. He did a great job in 2008, during that campaign as a debater. ... So this notion that somehow Barack Obama as president hasn’t had time to really get up to speed – he’s up to speed everyday, because he deals with all these issues, federal issues everyday.

Portman dismisses the idea that Romney will be more seasoned because of the endless stream of GOP primary debates, saying,

I am really not worried. Why are you?
