Pres. Obama Has Only One Option at Tuesday\’s Debate

Gov. Mitt Romney’s resounding win in the first presidential debate has left incumbent President Barack Obama with but one option: Step up his game, says a nationally renowned debate expert.

The president’s unsteady performance in Denver has made it imperative that Obama give an appreciably stronger showing Oct. 16 at Hofstra University, says David J. Lanoue, Columbus State University political science professor and co-author of The Joint Press Conference: The History, Impact, and Prospects of American Presidential Debates.
