CNN reported that Mitt had to practice sitting on a barstool

Tonight's debate format will force the candidates to confront two unpredictable things: regular 'mericans and regular 'merican furniture.

According to CNN's Dana Bash, Mitt Romney has been especially concerned with the latter, with campaign sources telling her that Romney has been practicing climbing and sitting on the bar stools that will be used during the debate.

It's easy to mock Romney's unfamiliarity with plebeian seating, but as the saying goes, you have to walk a mile in man's bespoke slippers before you can understand him. We may be familiar with bar stools, but let he among us who would be totally comfortable in a car elevator cast the first precious stone.
