The details of the race for the White House will spiral around the first presidential debate this week in Denver, which will focus on domestic issues.
Both President Obama and Mitt Romney already out west getting ready for the debate; Mr. Obama held a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday and will stay for several days of prep, while Romney will stump for votes in Colorado on Monday.
This week's debate - to be moderated by Jim Lehrer of PBS - will have six 15-minute segments devoted to domestic concerns:
* - The Economy - I
* - The Economy - II
* - The Economy - III
* - Health Care
* - The Role of Government
* - Governing
Both sides are trying their best to act like their candidate can barely speak in a debate while the other guy is the Galactic Debate Champ of the last 25 years.
Obviously, Mitt Romney has had more debate experience of late, though it was a spotty GOP debate experience for him, as some times the others just ignored him, while in others he was challenged repeatedly.
If you had one question to ask both candidates on economic matters this Wednesday night, what would it be?
Let me know below.
