Debate night and the tale of two tapes

It's almost show time as the first Presidential debate is tonight in Denver.   

We always look for a last-minute wrinkle before each debate and this may be it. Conservatives are talking up a video of the President back in 2007, something the Obama campaign is already responding to.

Beyond heaping praise on his now former pastor, the controversial Jeremiah Wright, then Senator Obama adopted an accent and made what some see as racially charged comments about Hurricane Katrina.

The Obama campaign says it's an attempt to distract voters from the video of Mitt Romney saying that 47 percent of the country feels entitled to government benefits.
