Election 2012: There were hits and misses and mishaps in the three presidential debates, but what is most important is that voters now know Mitt Romney. The challenger showed he can handle the presidency.

The media for many long months allowed the Obama campaign to define Mitt Romney.

They obsessed last summer over his tax returns, let an Obama aide suggest Romney might be a felon, and paid scant attention when an Obama super PAC outrageously said Romney caused the wife of a laid-off steel plant worker to die of cancer.

Now that Americans have seen the Democratic and Republican nominees for president side by side on three occasions — four and a half hours in total — they can better decide who Mitt Romney is. What they saw was not a monster or extremist but someone ready and able to lead as soon as the voters give him the job.
