Obama, Romney Prepare for Tuesday Debate

Posted:

As the president and Mitt Romney prepare for Tuesday's debate, the Obama Campaign is turning to Bill Clinton to make the case against Romney's tax cut plan.

In a web video, Clinton says Romney's approach "hasn't worked before and it won't work this time." Meantime, Romney's running mate Paul Ryan is campaigning in Virginia, where he told a conservative radio host republican supporters working to get out the vote are "doing the Lord's work."

 

President Obama has admitted he lost the first debate two weeks ago, which showed in the polls. Three national surveys right now show President Obama with just a one-point lead over Massachuettes Governor Mitt Romney.

Tonight's debate should be more intimate because it's a town-hall format. The audience asks the questions. The two candidates will try to sound civil, as they defend their positions to show respect for the people surrounding them onstage.

 

"They may have been surprised by a question that they've gotten up to this point, but a question from a voter that could come from a very personal place from that voter that could really put both candidates in a very delicate situation. It's one thing to be tough on a moderator, it's another thing to be tough when you're pushing back at a question posed by a voter in front of the whole country," said MSU Debate Coach Will Repko.

 

 

You can watch the debate on Channel 6. It starts at 9p.m. 6 News will have a complete wrap up tonight on 6 News at 11.
