Democrats are hopeful that the town hall format at Tuesday’s presidential debate at Hofstra University will afford President Obama the chance to talk about women’s issues, a centerpiece of the president’s reelection campaign that didn’t make an appearance in the first debate in Denver.“I think they quite naturally will be a part of the debate, particularly because of the way the format is set up,” DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz told TPM on a conference call about women’s issues Monday. “Given that it’s a town hall, and you have a moderator who’s essentially just facilitating the questions and the flow of discussion, I would fully expect these issues to come up because given that the audience is going to include a number of women who share the same concerns that we do, that those questions would be put to the candidates.”
