If the moderator was the chump in debate 1 for not closing down a disrespectful Mitt, I predict it will be the vetting of the audience that gets some special scrutiny tonight.

Every four years they tell us it is a crowd of undecided voters, but I doubt a single one of them is truly undecided. If you are interested enough in politics to attend the debate you are probably interested enough to have already made up your mind. In past years it seemed like the "undecided" voters in the town halls were split pretty evenly between Republicans and Democrats, it is usually pretty easy to tell who is who by the questions they ask.

Anyone who could be convinced to vote for Obama or Romney just doesn't know they believe. Those people scare me.
