In today's debate listen closely to Mitt Romney's rhetoric on foreign policy, terrorism and civil liberties. Candidates each will have two minutes to respond, and
an additional minute for the moderator to facilitate a discussion. The
town meeting participants will be undecided voters selected by the
Gallup Organization.
Tuesday October 16, 2012
Topic: Town meeting format including foreign and domestic policy
Air Time: 9:00-10:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Location: Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York (Tickets)
Sponsor: Commission on Presidential Debates
Participants: President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney
Moderator: Candy Crowley (CNN Chief Political Correspondent)
Obama and Romney have to be engaging, empathetic, believable, likable and presidential -- sometimes all at the same time. Obama surprised some people by not bringing up Romney's comment about 47% of Americans are "victims" who rely on government support during the first debate.
The president said he was too polite in his first face-to-face meeting with Romney, who got a boost in public opinion polls because of his strong debate performance two weeks ago. Obama's advisers promise he will be "aggressive" and "energetic."
The Republican's team says the momentum belongs to Romney after the Oct. 3 debate in Denver.
There is one more debate on Oct. 22 at Lynn University in Florida, and it's supposed to be devoted entirely to foreign policy. The town hall-style debate could be the last chance Obama or Romney can make a direct appeal about their plans to boost the economy.
