Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX): Presidential debate is ‘game changer’ for Mitt Romney

With less than six weeks until the 2012 election, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will face off in the first presidential debate Wednesday. Congressman Ted Poe (R-TX) argues that the debate will be a “game changer” for Romney, offering the former governor the chance to better communicate his message to the American public.

“The expectations are most Americans believe President Obama's going to win the debates,” Poe says. “That's why it's a great opportunity for Governor Romney to have an upset. He needs an upset. I think that he can do that on this debate and the next two debates. We go back historically, we remember it was a game changer when President Kennedy debated Richard Nixon.”
