Second Presidential Debate (Creative Commons)

Romney has shifted from his embrace of far right policies in the midst of the Republican Party primaries to his current moderate political platform in hopes of appealing to America’s middle class. And at a grassroots event last Friday in Virginia, Obama launched a new attack on his Republican challenger, labeling Romney’s condition as Romnesia.

Watch Obama’s diagnosis: 

The setting of Romney's 47% comment, Boca Raton, is where the candidates will face off tonight. Sitting side by side, they will debate foreign policy with heavy emphasis on the deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Mitt Romney has recently made the administration’s response to the attacks in Libya a centerpiece of his campaign. Romney and his campaign allege that the Obama administration “covered-up” the facts about the attacks for their political benefit. Romney insists the attacks were linked to al Qaeda they had nothing to do with an anti-Muslim video on YouTube.

According to the  LA Times Romney's claims are dubious,

The assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi last month appears to have been an opportunistic attack rather than a long-planned operation, and intelligence agencies have found no evidence that it was ordered by Al Qaeda, according to U.S. officials and witnesses interviewed in Libya.

…[I]n in Benghazi, witnesses said members of the group that raided the U.S. mission specifically mentioned the video, which denigrated the prophet Muhammad.

During the last debate foreign policy brought about some the best moments in favor of Obama. In one instance, Romney claimed it took Obama 14 days to describe the Libya attacks as an “act of terror.” He was wrong.

Both candidates will need to outline their foreign policy visions tonight. The war in Afghanistan has been missing from the recent presidential debates and the the Syrian war remains a sticking point. Overall, the Middle East will dominate the talking points.

Which Romney will show up to speak to them tonight?

And can Obama repeat his successful second debate performance---calling out Romnesia as it occurs and defending his record with diplomacy?

With the polls tied among likely voters, this debate is the ultimate round. Who will strike the decisive blow?
