LIVE VIDEO: Obama and Romney in second debate
President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney face off Tuesday in the second of their three debates, this one in a town hall-style setting in which they’ll take questions from likely voters.
CNN earlier said that these were the five things to watch for in tonight’s debate:
1. Connecting with the audience
2. Find a warm place
3. Getting women’s issues into the conversation
4. Strong performance pays off — literally
5. Watch out for the wild card
CNN Focus group didn’t like President Obama arguing with Candy over time said SamFeist.
Looks like debate will run a little over tonight.

A verbal boxing ring:
“This is a nation of immigrants,” Romney said. “We welcome legal immigrants,” he said.
Folks we have still not addressed Veterans issues in any debate so far. That's the one percent who has given the most to this country.—

Romney's tax position must be clarified with his position to not cut defense spending. It's a ? many journalists have – how can he do both?—
