Romney debate strategy: Make corner office relevant to Oval Office

Mitt Romney is planning to shed the scrappy in-your-face debate strategy from last week's town hall and replace it Monday night with a calmer demeanor, someone voters can imagine as commander in chief, CNN has learned.

"I don't think this is necessarily a debate where you're going to see point-for-point scoring," Romney adviser Dan Senor said.

Senor is part of a small circle of Romney advisers preparing him for Monday's third of three debates, which is focused on foreign policy. He ducked out of the secretive sessions in New York late last week to talk to CNN in the only interview he did during the preparations.Romney debate strategy
