Valin Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Contentions: Alana Goodman 10/15/12 Because tomorrow's debate will be in a town hall format with audience interaction, it's going to pose different challenges for the candidates than the last podium debate. Here are six pitfalls President Obama and Mitt Romney might run into: 1. Getting too personal: 2. Rambling too much: 3. Failing to connect with the audience: 4. Physical appearances are more obvious: 5. Getting rattled: 6. Not staying for the aftershow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valin Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 5 Things to Watch at Second Presidential Debate Devin Dwyer 10/16/12 HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – Exactly three weeks before voters head to the polls, President Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney face-off here today for the second presidential debate that could again chart a new course for the general election campaign. In an email to supporters Monday, Obama for the first time declared the race “tied,” conceding that a lead he held ahead of the first debate has shrunk or disappeared. Romney meanwhile has been touting what he calls a “growing crescendo of enthusiasm” for his campaign. Tonight’s debate – a town hall style showdown – could provide an opportunity for each candidate to gain the edge he desires. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rheo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Three things to watch when Romney and Obama debate at Hofstra 1. How eager will the media be to write the Obama comeback story? 2. How will Obama handle questions about Libya? 3. How will Romney handle questions about the 47 percent video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I think there is one other very important thing that the media misses. Romney will win if he connects to the audience. My suspicion is he will. He would do well to focus on them and ignore Obama and Crowley. I believe however, Obama will be focused on Romney. He will be trying to score points off of him. As long as that happens...he is toast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cudjo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 They keep yaking on TV about how great O is at connecting with people due to his experiene as a community idiot, I would just imagine that Mitt has a lot of experience in connecting with people, he hasn't made it this far in business without mastering how to persuade people to his way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollyannaish Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You are right@cudjo. I personally don't think Obama connects at all one on one. Just look how he's treated congress! And his ex-aide saying he doesn't like people. He is a total mirage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SrWoodchuck Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Moderator Role Under Scrutiny — Before the Debate http://thepage.time....ore-the-debate/ While an early-October memorandum of understanding between the Obama and Romney campaigns suggests that CNN’s Candy Crowley would play a limited role in the Tuesday-night session, Crowley, who is not a party to that agreement, has done a series of interviews on her network in which she has suggested that she will assume a broader set of responsibilities. As Crowley put it last week, “Once the table is kind of set by the town-hall questioner, there is then time for me to say, ‘Hey, wait a second, what about X, Y, Z?’” Only on CNN, would a "moderator" give herself a series of interviews......then again.......how many are watching her show....on her network? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepper Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 What disturbs me most of all about this particularly debate is that there actually 100* morons in the USA who have not yet made up their minds and they are all gathered in one location. You'd have to have the brain power of a radish not to have an opinion. 100 morons plus 2 Obama and Crowley makes for 102 idiots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
