Whashington D.C., United States of America to September 08th, 2012 (The Washington Post). Thursday ahead of the bitterly contested November presidential and legislative elections. Finally, the fall season offers the matchup sure to attract the biggest audience of the campaign: President: Barack Obama (Obama) going one-on-one with Republican Mitt Romney (Romney) in three prime-time debates.

Typically the top political draw in the final sprint to Election Day, the debates assume outsized importance this year with the race a dead heat, The candidates will have their sound bites and rhetoric down cold so any slip or inadvertent move could roil the campaign for days and linger in voters’ mind until Nov, 6st.
