So, any info on the next debate?

I know the next debate is on foreign policy?

Does anyone know if this means that ONLY foreign policy will be discussed?

There were some topics that I wished could have been explored much further tonight.

I wish Mitt's voucherization of Medicare could have been pressed more, but I was happy that Obama did mention it.

I think Obamacare and the benefits of it (pre-existing conditions, etc.) should be touted more.

Obama really hit it out of the park tonight and I want him to build on that.

I don't mind a foreign-policy debate, but I hope the candidates are somehow able and allowed to discuss other topics as well.

Anyone know the particulars?

The format for the debate will be identical to the first presidential debate and will focus on foreign policy.

But I am sure both candidates will bring domestic policy into their answers if they think it will be to their advantage.

As a country we have placed far too much attention on foreign matters. Our country has fallen apart on the domestic score in countless ways.
