3. Romney doesn't know enough about foreign policy to make up lies fast enough to do the Gish Galop

Please note that the format is identical to the first debate, which didn't end well for Obama.

I don't think that's a problem. Obama will be prepared for that, and this format keeps that asshole from getting in the President's face.

The idea of 10-minute segments makes a lot more sense for foreign policy than for domestic policy. In fact, I'd say it is a big advantage for Obama to have topics that will be covered in some depth. Romney will play out his entire understanding in the first 20 seconds of each topic, and could look pretty weak for his remaining 4 minutes on each segment.
