Apparently Romney will get first question, Obama will close at tonight's debate

[TroyD]

Anyone else heard the same thing?

That's what people are saying this morning, from what I can tell.

1. I hope so

I'd much prefer the Prez to get the last word!

2. GOOD! Obama/Biden got the first in each of the 2...

I am convinced btw, that Obama going first allowed Mitt to lie like he did, as the first two minute question was answered Presidentially by our President

going first allows the other to attack and also allows our President to have the last word, even more important.

BTW-just because it is at Hofstra, does not mean 100% of the audience is NYC(as Hofstra is NOT in NYC but considered on the Island(long Island). And ringers will be in the audience

(like the ahole Rep. Peter King of long Island, the big mouth Mr.911 man who will most likely get the first response after debate.(and the last word leading into it).

also beware of Candy Crowley NEVER in decades, a friend of democrats.

3. Good....

4. According to CNN, Romney will get first question

So maybe that means Obama gets to go last, although it says there won't be actual closing statements.
