Nearly 60 million people tuned in Oct. 3 to watch the first presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
In that first confrontation, viewers and pundits claimed that Romney won, and his campaign got a bump in the polls as a result. Will Obama vindicate himself this time?
There will be one more debates before election day.

It appears that the Democrats' concept of Leadership is avoiding Responsibility for their failures by continually blaming The Other Guy. We need a Leader, not a Whiner!
