Entering this debate the major question was whether
President Obama would be able to rebound after his flat performance in
the first
presidential debate.
Obama did turn in a credible
performance. He and Romney were not tethered to podiums or a
table and they vigorously engaged each other. It was fascinating
to watch the candidates' use of space on the stage.
Nielsen
reported that 65.6 million viewers watched the debate (+).
Moderator: Candy Crowley, Chief Political
Correspondent, CNN and Anchor, CNN’s State of the Union
Format: "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."
