The first presidential debate isn't till October 3.
Mitt Romney feels like he needs to take this week off to practice for it:
En route to the $4m mansion he's holed up at in Vermont, Romney stopped at a hardware store, presumably to buy some more hardware stuff.
Mitt Romney feels like he needs to take this week off to practice for it:
Romney’s early debate prep is aimed in part at getting him accustomed
to the one-on-one format he’ll face next month. It’s different from the
primary debates, which featured multiple candidates on stage.
Relaxed
and casually dressed, Romney is doing timed, mock debates with Ohio
Sen. Rob Portman, who is playing Obama, according to advisers. Longtime
adviser Peter Flaherty is standing in as the moderator, asking questions
about both domestic and foreign policy.
Top advisers then dissect
each session. Among those in Vermont for the sessions are strategist
Stuart Stevens, longtime aides Eric Fehrnstrom and Beth Myers, and
senior adviser Ed Gillespie.
Asked Wednesday how the preparations were going, Romney smiled and shrugged.
“I’m just glad I won’t be debating Rob Portman in the final debates,” Romney said. “He’s good.”
