Five things to watch in the presidential debate

President Barack Obama and republican challenger Mitt Romney will have their first debate on Wednesday.  This article said there are five main points to look for during this debate.  First, they expect Romney has more pressure to perform.  Both men are experienced debaters, but Romney has more pressure to attack and try to rattle Obama because he is behind in polls.  Obama needs to be consistent with his campaign and perform well.  Secondly, views need to watch body language.  Odd movements or sighs have hurt debaters in the past.  Thirdly, both men need to perform well in the beginning.  Many Americans will form their opinions within the first 30 minutes of the debate.  Also, both candidates need to be correct with their information.  The last issue this article feels important is if Romney will continue to support the George W. Bus presidency or will he agree our economic problems were caused by him.

It will be interesting to watch the debate on Wednesday and see what the different reactions and views of analysts will be.
