-Like President Obama, Mitt Romney will spend today preparing for Tuesday's debate, a town hall-style forum. Romney will be holed up in Boston. According to POLITICO, Romney is more focused on having the right body language and speaking style than on what he will say.

-But that doesn't mean the campaign comes to a halt. Big-money Romney donors who have paid a minimum of $50,000 a head will convene in Manhattan Monday night for an event that will feature Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate; Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York and Republican presidential candidate; and Donald Trump.

-Ryan has a busy day. Before heading to New York, the vice presidential nominee will be in his home state of Wisconsin for a 9:30 EST town hall in Waukesha. He'll be maintaining the campaign's heavy Ohio presence later with a 12:30 rally in Cincinnati.

-Expect more volleys today over the administration's Libya response, for which Romney and Ryan have hammered the president. Sen. Lindsey Graham weighed in on Sunday, accusing the Obama administration of understating how an attack on the consulate in Benghazi last month demonstrates Al Qaeda's resurgence.
