10. That's an interesting question.

I keep wondering whether Romney will continue with the lie-fest, figuring (a) he'll put Obama off his game, and/or (b) he's got nothing else anyway, so may he as well go for broke.

OR, if Romney is having his staff put together some actual facts and figures to throw around, so that the fact-checkers won't have another lengthy list of lies to tear apart after-the-fact.

On foreign policy (of which Mitt knows nothing), I'm fully expecting him to try and turn the discussion around continuously to talk about what he thinks Obama has handled badly, rather than detail his own ideas (of which he has none.)

I am also figuring that Obama's team is gathering info on what Romney said, and where and when. So that when Mitt pulls his "I never said that" routine, Obama will be ready to counter with, "Excuse me, sir, but you said exactly that in front of a crowd in Michigan just three months ago," etc.

It'll be interesting, to say the least ...
