The debate coming up on Oct. 3 should be interesting. I have some questions I'd like to see asked of the Governor.
1. Governor Romney, you have put together a plan for an economic recovery which essentially lowers taxes, including some very deep cuts to the taxes on the wealthiest Americans, folks you refer to as "job creators" and the elimination or reductions in regulations in order to spur on economic growth. That approach sounds to a lot of Americans as the same approach that was tried under President George W. Bush. Governor, could you please explain how your polices differ substantially from the Bush polices.
2. Governor Romney, your position on taxes has many Americans puzzled. You speak about growth being stymied because of uncertainty in the tax code. Governor, you have said that you will reduce tax rates by 20% on all American taxpayers by closing loopholes and eliminating some deductions and tax credits. Could you be more specific and can you categorically state that you will not ask Congress to eliminate the Mortgage Interest Deduction, the Marriage Deduction or the Child Tax Credit.
3. Governor Romney, while you were in College, you supported America's war in South East Asia, including Viet Nam. Yet, when you graduated, you chose a Religious deferment as a Mormon Missionary and chose Paris France as the location to perform your Religious work. Why should Americans not question your convictions since, as a young adult, when the time came for you to "put your money where your mouth was" so to speak, and you chose another path. And, in your answer, could you please let us know if you converted any Parisians to Mormonism during the two years you were in Paris and if you have kept in contact with them.
Let's see if you have any additions.

President Obama, I understand you eat dogs. Really?
Governor Romney, Multiple Sclerosis must be a tremendous hardship for your wife. What can you tell other Americans who suffer from this disease?
President Obama, have you quit smoking yet?
Governor Romney, you've been a successful businessman. Do you see yourself as a role model for young Americans?
President Obama, is it true you once had a paper route?
You get the picture. But I trust our prez will figuratively K.O. his Republiton opponent despite the skewed questioning.
