For Mitt Romney, the toughest question that will probably come his way is: You say the first thing you'll do is repeal Obamacare. Can you tell us what it is you would replace it with?

That's gonna be one of his big tests.

Now, for the President, if I had to think of the most difficult question that stands in the way of his re-election, it would be: You said your policies would reduce unemployment to below 8%. Unemployment currently stands at 8.1%. Millions of Americans remain jobless. Do you bare responsibility for this?

That's what Romney is going to focus on, and it will be a question posed to the President probably right off the top by moderator Jim Lehrer (who always announces himself at the debates as "I'm Jim LehRAH!", which I love).

If you're Obama and you're in Nevada today debate-prepping and they're throwing this question at you, what's the best response? What's the response that mainstream America will accept during the debate?

A lot of people have been looking for this since last night. It is Sen. Jim Webb's full intro of President Obama in Virginia Beach yesterday, where he tears into Mitt Romney.

President Obama's full speech follows that. Politico has a shortened version of it, but this is the whole thing.

This is incredibly powerful stuff, and it deserves to go viral. Share it. Tweet it. Pay it forward.

This is my first diary post. I'm a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S., currently living in Toronto.

My vote used to be registered for New York, but now it gets counted in Florida since the folks have moved there. It's incredibly moving to feel like my vote really counts for something now that it's registered in a swing state.

It is clear now after this last debate that moderates and many Independent voters are sticking with the Democrats. Come January, it looks rather certain that we'll control all three chambers of gov't, with roughly a 100 seat lead in the House, and possibly a shot at the magic number of 60 in the Senate, although I'm more inclined to believe we'll fall just a seat or two short of that mark. The idea of winning a shot at absolute power after suffering from 3 very disappointing defeats earlier in the decade is worth celebrating, but I want to impress on liberals everywhere that with this victory also comes a tremendous responsibility.
