How will Obama be able to inject Bain Capital into Tuesday’s debate?
Here’s the official Second Presidential Debate 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.’’
Unless one of the ‘’undecided voters’’ is such an obvious Obama supporter that he doesn’t mind embarrassing himself in front of the entire world by bringing up the anti-Romney issue of Bain Capital during a debate that’s supposed to be devoted to U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Bain Capital will not be mentioned during the debate, although if it is, it will be greeted with groans and laughter from most of the people in the audience and those watching at home.
I fully expect the additional minute of facilitated discussion will go something like this:
Crowley: Mr. President, when you said XYZ, didn't you mean 123?"
Putzident: 123, yes, Candy, 123.
Crowley: And you really meant to imply ABC, correct?
Putzident: Correct, Candy, ABC.
Crowley: Because you believe so-and-so, isn't that right?
Putzident: Absolutely, Candy, I believe so-and-so.
The danger of the Town Hall for Romney (or other GOP candidate) is that , by example, the ignorant questioner says “debt” when they mean “deficit,” our guy answers the wrong question, and then the questionner, abetted by the MSM, declares the GOP candidate stupid and “out of touch.”
