They should bring out someone to address an empty chair representing Romney. They could ask chair why he won't release his tax returns, how a record of trashing companies and destroying jobs at Bain qualifies him to run the country, how he could strap a dog to the roof of a car, etc. etc.

All tongue in cheek, of course, but in one short segment you could bring voters attention to all the slimy qualities that define the empty suit known as "Romney".

Maybe ask Robin Williams? I know he does a great Clint impression...
