You Tell Us: Who Will Win the Presidential Debates?
Patch gives readers the chance to sound off on the topics that are dominating the news each week.
The long presidential campaign is entering the home stretch, and Republican nominee former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney will try to make his case against President Barack Obama.
The first debate between these two candidates—former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is running as the Libertarian Party nominee and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are also running—will be held at 9 p.m. Wednesday in Denver, CO.
According to Nate Silver’s 538 blog at New York Times, Obama has an 84.7 percent of winning the election on Nov. 6.
But conservatives are hopeful a strong showing by Romney will help swing the election back in their favor as they try to take back the White House.
The debates have provided many memorable moments, from former President Ronald Reagan’s "There he goes again" zinger against former President Jimmy Carter, to former Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis’ death penalty gaffe and Sen. John McCain referring to Obama as "that one."
Patch wants to know what who you think will win tonight’s presidential debate? Tell us in comments.

President Obama should win. Mitt Romney is a very shallow person who has devoted his whole life to making money regardless of the cost to working people whose jobs have been destroyed by Bain Capital. And Romney's only solutions to our economic problems are to go to a policy of laissez-faire, tax cuts and repeal of Obamacare (a plan identical to Romneycare in Massachusetts, which is Romney's only achievement as Governor). Romney has shown total ignorance on foreign policy and seems ready to start a war with Iran on behalf of contributor Sheldon Adelson. President Obama should win tonight.

I believe that Romney will kick Obummer's butt! With the WORST Unemployment in history, the highest debt, the Libyan coverup by Obummer, the worst jobs creation, worst Economy, the most people on food stamps, the most people on welfare, and much more, Obummer is DONE! As long as Romney strays focused on how terrible 4 more years of a nightmare will be, ROMNEY will WIN!

Comments from persons like Richard Palais are a huge indicator of why President Obama should be re-elected.

All parties other than Democratic and Republican have been excluded from the debates. Even the debate's advertisers are unhappy about it:

President Obama will win the debates. Myth Romney is an unfocused bungler with a silver foot in his gold-plated mouth.

Why do the Obama supporters give him a complete and utter pass on all his 2008 campaign promises that he broke? That should be enough right there to push him out. He knew what he was getting into. We all heard this was the worst Economy since the great depression. It's not getting better, and the economists are saying it's not going to get better any time soon. Mitt may win debate, but most of the voters in this State don't care. Just keep giving me my stuff and we'll keep you in office. Sad but true...

Watch Mitt closely. He is so Botoxed up he can't even make facial expressions.
This debate isn't going to be close. The President will make mincemeat out of this guy.
The entertaining debate will be Biden versus Gilligan.

It's was actually Flavor Aid not Kool Aid......
Facial expressions are one way the that humans know who they can trust. Botox makes him look like a goofy white mannequin.

Obama will win the debate as well as the election. He is presenting specific examples when Myth Romney is vague and unclear.
