Last month, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced the details of the three planned presidential debates and one planned vice presidential debate. On Wednesday, the commission announced further details on the first debate, set to be focused on domestic policy.

The commission said Wednesday that the six 15-minute topic segments for the first debate are:

The Economy – I The Economy – II The Economy – III Health Care The Role of Government Governing

The topics were selected by PBS’s Jim Lehrer, moderator of the first debate, and are also subject to change if news breaks, the commission said. The first debate is set for Oct. 3 at 9 p.m. ET at the University of Denver

Think Lehrer will ask Obama to elaborate on what he means by "more flexibility" in a 2nd term?

Or maybe he'll ask him straight up if he's an avowed Communist, just so half of the American people really know.

I don’t trust ANY of the moderators. These debates might as well be labeled as ‘Romney Ambushes’ because that’s what is being planned. 0bama will be given all questions in advance and Romney won’t. Call me a conspiracy theorist but in just the last two weeks we’ve seen an ORCHESTRATED CAMPAIGN TO DESTROY ROMNEY, starting with the immediate attack on his comments following the TERRORIST ATTACK ON 9/11 IN LIBYA.

If Romney is forceful and gets his points across, these debates are a no brainer. I was hoping one of the questions would be in reference to the confirmed terrorists attack in Libya that the empty chair kept referring it to a spontanious event

I’m right there with you. Let’s see a Tea Party chosen interviewer ask the question. Why not a Mark Levin? How about Victor Davis Hanson? Charles Krauthammer? Yet we’ll get the equivalent of baba wawa or Kermit the frog.

[SampleMan]

I expect completely fair debates. For instance, the first question posed will be the same for both candidates, “Is President Obama as wonderful as we think he is, or more wonderful than we think he is?”

Romney's big money men didn't want Newt in any of these debates. He'd destroy Obama and bring on an economic renaissance ~ they've already got all the money and don't want any new competitors.

So, yeah, this has been fixed for a long time.

I like your format
Mr. President, “ How does it feel to care about the American people day after day?”

Mr. Romney, “What gives you the right to even breathe?” “How dare you criticize The President on the same day his muslim brothers attack our embassy in Libya?”

On a more serious note, I sure hope Mittster has some forceful rebutals to the certain “Healthcare? Its YOUR plan, Mitt!”
