          Obama Looks to Revive Campaign in Second Debate With Romney

   by VOA News

   Aides to U.S. President Barack Obama say he will deliver a much
   stronger performance when he meets Republican challenger Mitt Romney
   Tuesday night in their second debate.
   Obama was heavily criticized after his first debate on October 3 for
   appearing listless and ill-prepared against Romney, who who was far
   more engaged and aggressive.  The president's poor showing led to a
   surge of support in voter opinion polls for his Republican rival,
   leaving both candidates locked in a virtual tie.
   Tuesday's debate at New York's Hofstra University will utilize a
   so-called "town hall" format, where an audience of pre-selected
   undecided voters will pose questions to Obama and Romney.
   The president spent several days last week preparing for the event at a
   resort in Williamsburg, Virginia, and aides say he will be more
   aggressive in challenging Romney's positions.
   Romney's campaign announced Monday that it had raised $170 million in
   September.  The Obama campaign announced last week that it had raised
   $181 million last month.
