One thing he is extremely practiced at is holding townhalls. The only thing he needs to prep for is how to handle an overbearing dickhead with a penchant for lying through his teeth a million miles a minute, with only a few minutes to rebuttle his bullshit.

as should everyone else involved in this. Sharpen those knives, turn those phrases, make America know that Obama kicks ass and takes names.

will think that Mittens will win given his performance last time, so he has an expectations game. If Obama is on his game and shows intelligence, empathy with the questioners and politely but firmly refutes Romney and his lies he will win.
