DENVER, CO -
The first debate between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama is one day away. Both candidates are behind closed doors getting ready. The outcome of the debates could help decide the election but both campaigns are downplaying expectations. Workers are setting the stage for Wednesday night's Presidential debate at the University of Denver. Both candidates are behind closed doors today getting ready.
Mitt Romney is preparing in Colorado and the latest polls show he is trailing the President in most swing states. His running mate Paul Ryan is on a bus tour working to sway voters in Iowa.
Vice President Joe Biden is in the battleground state of North Carolina today while President Obama studies for the debate in Nevada. He is holding practice sessions with former Presidential candidate John Kerry playing the part of Mitt Romney.
The stakes are high for Wednesday's debate but both the White House and the Romney campaign are trying to lower expectations. Neither side wants their candidate to take the stage with a perceived advantage. The polls show most Americans believe Obama will win the first debate - but historically it's the challenger who usually gets a boost. The debate could have an immediate impact because early voting is already underway in a couple of swing states.
