Obama campaign: Adjustments will be made in debate strategy [View all]

[XemaSab]

Adjustments will have to be made in President Obama's debate strategy, his advisers said Thursday, the morning after the president stumbled in his first showdown with Mitt Romney.

David Axelrod, Obama’s senior campaign strategist, said they are going to take "a hard look" at Obama’s debate performance and that they’ll “have to make some judgments about where to draw the lines in these debates and how to use our time.”

“It’s like a playoff in sports,” Axelrod said to reporters on a conference call, adding that there are strategic judgments “that have to be made and we’ll make them.”

Obama aides told The Hill that the president will look to be more aggressive in the next debate — scheduled for Oct. 16 in Hofstra, N.Y. — by launching a more full-throttle attack when he believes Romney isn't telling the truth.
