Two alphas in the fight of their lives, President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney sparred with passion and grit in a debate that previewed the closing arguments of a campaign that keeps circling back to bedrock questions about which candidate can do more to strengthen the fragile economy.
Reader poll Obama vs. Romney: If the election was to be held today, who would you vote for? Barack Obama - Joe Biden Mitt Romney - Paul Ryan Other I am undecided See results Fresh off their latest encounter and with just three weeks left in the race, the candidates fan out in all directions Wednesday to pitch their tuned-up messages directly to voters on some of the campaign's most treasured turf: Romney in Virginia, Obama in Iowa. Vice President Joe Biden is westward bound for Colorado and Nevada; GOP running mate Paul Ryan returns to all-important Ohio.

Third Debate When: Monday, Oct. 22 Time: 9:00- 10:30 p.m. Participants: Obama and Romney Topic: Foreign Policy The Monroe Evening News will be showing a live streaming of the third debate. Check back for it here!
