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)
The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which citizens will ask questions of the candidates on foreign and domestic issues. 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.
Barack Obama is coming into the debate under heavy scrutiny after his poor performance during the last one, which proved to be so damaging as to give Romney a 3-4 point bounce that may carry him to the presidency if it holds through November (though Nate Silver notes it's already receding). The President faces the tricky task of aggressively refuting Romney's policies and demonstrating that he can be a strong advocate for the poor and middle class against rapacious elite interests, while avoiding coming across as a jerk like his Vice President Joe Biden at times did during his debate.
Mitt Romney currently has the edge in these debates after an energized performance two weeks ago that enabled him to sieze the mantle of change from the president. However, tonight he will lack the element of surprise and will be in a debate whose format may prove to be a challenge for him. President Obama will be much more aggressive and combative this time than before, and if Biden's performance is any indication, will likely tear up many of Romney's proposed policies and reveal how vague and reckless many of them are — especially when it comes to foreign policy.
