Tonight Mitt Romney and Barack Obama will debate at Hofstra University in a town hall style debate covering foreign and domestic policy. Users that can’t tune in on TV can watch the second presidential debate on their mobile device and use a new app to share clips of the debate to go with commentary and the slew of bad jokes that clog up Twitter and Facebook. Thanks to the town hall style of the debate, select questions will come from ‘real’ people instead of the moderator.
