Not to the moderator or Romney. look directly into the camera and speak to it as if he is explaining the issue to Malia. Yes, I know Malia is a teenager, but she is probably intellectually at a slightly higher intellectual level than the average voter. I think this would lead to him c0onnecting amazingly with people and explaining things very well.

The exception is that he also has to listen to Romney and call him on the bigger of his distortions - as Kerry did with Bush on Saddam.

I don't think he should morph into Grayson or Michael Moore. That would be treated as it was when Gore was completely different in the three debates. (Bush was too, but there is no Democratic echo chamber to trash him. )
