Debate Prep - Hoover Dam or Salsa Bar? - Romney makes pit stop at Chipotle. Obama makes pit stop at Hoover Dam. You could imaging Romney mentioning Chipotle in a debate riff on business. You could imagine Obama mentioning the Dam in a debate riff on public works. - http://abcn.ws/O3rn8H

Two Audiences, Two Unelectable Candidates and One Much-Hyped Debate - Matthew Dowd's pre-debate analysis - Audience No. 1 is made up of the independent voters who are either still undecided (Really? I have stood in line behind folks like you at restaurants and it does get frustrating), or softly affiliated with Obama.

Audience No. 2 is a more difficult one for Romney. This audience is made up of the media, the press, and the various and many pundits who will comment and analyze the debate (and yes, yours truly is one of them). http://abcn.ws/RapiWc

Biden Says Middle Class 'Has Been Buried Last Four Years'- Vice President Joe Biden, criticizing Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan for a plan he said will raise taxes on the middle class, instead stepped on his campaign's message by saying the middle class has been "buried" over the last four years - the time President Obama has been in office. "This is deadly earnest. How they can justify, how they can justify raising taxes on the middle class that has been buried the last four years, how in the Lord's name can they justify raising their taxes. We've seen this movie before," Biden said to a crowd of 1,000 at the Fillmore Charlotte. http://abcn.ws/QLZ8f3 (Saenz)

Mitt to the Middle - On the eve of his first debate with President Obama, Mitt Romney indicated that he was considering a uniform deduction for most tax payers - $17,000 was the figure mentioned - as a way to pay for his proposed reform, which includes $5 trillion in across-the-board cuts. Romney also appeared to shift slightly on the issue of illegal immigration, saying he would honor two year visas issued by President Obama this summer for students who arrived here illegally as children.

What Dr. Tim Would Ask at the Debate - If I were the moderator of Wednesday night's first presidential debate - scheduled to be devoted to domestic issues including health care - the single question I would most want to ask of both candidates is this one: How is it possible that the U.S., which is the richest country in the world, is the only developed country on this planet that has not figured out how to provide basic health insurance to all its citizens? It certainly is NOT because we don't spend enough money on healthcare. http://abcn.ws/U6XwQd
