A NIGHT TO GET SPECIFIC AND NEW IN PRESIDENTIAL DETAIL AS THEY DEBATE............

President Obama and Governor face one essential test tonight if they are to provide a serious Debate in their contest for the Presidency 2012; and that is to move beyond the boilerplate and predictable responses to the questions about their candidacies and provide specific details, as to their plans and proposals for the next four years.  How will President Obama build upon or change his approach to improving the Economy, and solidify National Security, Justice, and Peace, for Americans.  What will Governor Romney say to flesh out the Economic Recovery Plan he says he has with specific proposals, such as the $17,000.00 cap on personal deductions he teased in a Denver television station interview today, which a Romney spokeswoman afterwards clarified as being one of several options he has under consideration.  Zingers, charm, or diversionary answers will neither serve either candidate, nor gain anything substantial for the American People in making their decision as to who will be the next President of the United States.  Debate Moderator Jim Lehrer and his expertise at these quadrennial forums should assist the cause of drawing them out of their pre-set comfort zones and get them to open up on their positions more precisely and convincingly............tdp
