Foreign policy will take center stage in Monday's debate showdown between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney.
Both candidates are busy prepping, as the debate stage is being set at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.
Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney took a break from debate prep to lead a huddle for a press vs. staff beach football game. And that gave some people the chance for a quick glimpse of the candidate.
Beach-goer Parker Jackson was surprised to see the candidate. "I didn't really expect it. I thought it was just going to be a boring day at the beach, but then we saw Mitt Romney."
While Romney got ready in Florida, President Obama did his debate prep at Camp David.
