Changes in This Debate

I am very excited to watch the 2nd Presidential Debate tonight. After reading about it today, I have come to the conclusion that perhaps this debate will offer a little more interaction with the voters as well as a little more interaction between the candidates. 

I am curious about the "town-hall style" format. With viewers asking questions, the candidates are truly put on the spot. Although in the 1st debate, the candidates had no idea what the moderator was going to ask, they could guess and assume what the questions would be along the lines of. With on-the-fence voters asking questions, like those at the debate tonight, the candidates will really have no idea what they will be asked. 
I'm also curious to see the changes in each candidate's actions tonight. After the last debate, viewers heard a lot from political pundits about McCain's body language, and how he appeared standoffish and rude. I wonder if he will do something different this time. I am also interested to see if Obama will give so much to McCain, as many think he did during the last debate. Will he once again concede so many points to McCain? 
One thing is definite- this debate will either close the gap between McCain and Obama or allow Obama to leap even further ahead. I, for one, can't wait to see what happens.
