Hofstra University: Candy Crowley

Governor Romney Dept: The 90-minute debate at Hofstra University, which begins at 9 p.m., comes with the two men neck-and-neck after Romney bested Obama in their first debate, gained in the polls and climbed back into contention. The result could hinge on the way the two men perform, but also on a format that will allow audience members to pose questions, with follow-ups from moderator Candy Crowley of CNN, according to The Star. We saw this clearly in the first presidential debate on Oct. 3, as Governor Romney cynically and dishonestly hid the self-described severely conservative positions he s been running on and there s no doubt he s memorizing more deceptions as he prepares for Tuesday s second debate, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a memo Monday and hEMPSTEAD, N.Y. President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney face off Tuesday in a town hall style debate that has the potential to finally break the race s stubborn tie as their battle roars into its final, decisive three weeks. Obama, sharply criticized for a listless performance in the first debate on Oct. 3, is expected to more aggressively question Romney s shifts in tone and position over the years and in some cases recent days on tax cuts, immigration, abortion and other subjects.
