__Red Herring Fallacy:__ It is an irrelevant topic that is presented in order to divert attention from the original issue. The idea is to "win" the argument by leading attention away from the argument and to another topic.

This video shows how red herring is used in a mystery to distract the audience from identifying the actual culprit. In this clip, the audience's attention is diverted towards a suspect who is innocent. After the preview is showed, the audience is supposed to believe that the suspect is one of the characters that is displayed. The directors of the show are trying to alter the audience's view of who the actual suspect is.

This presidential debate has a clear understanding of red herring. Both candidates are redirecting the question and not answering the question that was at hand. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney seem like they are both answering the question thoroughly but instead they are talking about something completely different.
