Texas voters are joining those around the nation who are focusing on Wednesday's first presidential debate in Denver. But first, there's another debate that could greatly impact Texans. It is the first showdown between U.S. Senate candidates Democrat Paul Sadler and Republican Ted Cruz. For Sadler, the underdog Democrat not widely known in the state, it could be his best chance to catch a break. As Sadler drives from town to town to see voters, he's short on funds but long on determination. And he says that personal drive extends to the first debate with Cruz.

Whether or not Barack Obama wins re-election in November, Joe Connor is afraid the president may release his father’s killer from prison. Puerto Rican separatist leader Oscar Lopez Rivera’s group, the Armed Forces of Puerto Rican National Liberation (FALN), killed Joe’s dad Frank Connor 37 years ago during a deadly bombing spree that stretched from the 1970s to the early ’80s. The terrorist group bombed New York City’s historic Fraunces Tavern on Jan. 25, 1975, killing 33-year-old Frank Connor.

On the eve of the first presidential debate, President Barack Obama maintains his national lead over Mitt Romney, but the Republican nominee is well within striking distance, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Obama edges Romney by three points among likely voters, 49 percent to 46 percent, which is within the survey’s margin of error. Obama’s lead was five points, 50 percent to 45 percent, in the NBC/WSJ poll released two weeks ago, following the political conventions. But among a wider pool of registered voters, the president is ahead of Romney by seven points, 51 percent to

While much of the media has done a pretty good job of covering the terrorist attack on our consulate in Benghazi, including the fact that the White House lacks credibility with respect to a week-long narrative that blamed the attack on a YouTube video, nothing we've seen thus far from the media indicates that Obama will be made to pay a political price for a week of lies told by this administration. And this is a purely political and partisan choice the media's making … and a dangerous one. As we've seen with Mitt Romney, when properly motivated,

Michelle Obama has spoken out about her fist kiss with her husband Barack - but it is not the first time the couple has opened up about their courtship. The President and the First Lady have repeatedly used talk-show and magazine interviews to tell the story of how they first got together in 1989. And the Obamas seem to have become even keener to shine light on their personal life this year in the run-up to November's presidential election. Scroll down for video

Lawmakers claim administration

The Obama administration plans to buy an Illinois prison that at one point was considered for housing Guantanamo prisoners -- with Republican lawmakers now claiming the purchase would open the door for ultimately carrying out the Guantanamo transfer. Administration officials, though, denied that they were looking for a new home for Guantanamo inmates. They insisted the decision to buy Thomson Correctional Center, an under-used state prison 150 miles west of Chicago, was a move to alleviate overcrowding and create jobs in the process. "This is about public safety and 50 percent overcrowding in high-security prisons," one Justice Department official said.

Romney floats $17K limit

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney floated a $17,000 cap on tax deductions, a proposal that could reconcile his pledge to lower tax rates with his promise to make the plan deficit-neutral. Limiting individual tax deductions could also hit the rich more than the middle class, which could help Romney ensure his plan lowers the effective tax burden on the middle class even as it could raise the tax burden on the wealthy. Romney has been under criticism from the Obama campaign for offering policies they say would benefit the rich and hurt the middle class. Romney floated the idea the

"I'm not going to get into a situation under review by the State Department and the FBI," said White House spokesman Jay Carney. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will respond to a letter from two Republican House members citing requests for more security in the months ahead of the attack.

Madison, Wis. - Working to broaden his popularity among military veterans, Republican Mitt Romney's campaign has sent letters to election officials in Wisconsin, Mississippi and Vermont demanding that the deadline for receiving ballots from military and overseas voters be extended. The letters sent in recent days on Romney's behalf by former U.S. Veterans Affairs Secretary Anthony Principi charge that election officials in the states missed the Sept. 22 deadline for mailing some ballots to overseas and military voters. A fourth letter was to be sent Tuesday to Michigan officials, according to Romney campaign spokesman Ryan Williams.

Eugene D. Genovese, who died on September 26 at the age of 82, arrived at the University of Rochester in 1969 amid a swirl of controversy. Several years earlier, while on the faculty of Rutgers University, he had ignited a political firestorm when he publicly welcomed a Vietcong victory in the Vietnam War. Some New Jersey officials, including a Republican candidate for governor, called for his dismissal and even Richard Nixon denounced him.

MEXICO CITY - A senior U.S. official says there is strong circumstantial evidence that Mexican federal police who fired on a U.S. embassy vehicle, wounding two CIA agents, were working for organized crime on a targeted assassination attempt. A Mexican official with knowledge of the case on the Aug. 24 ambush says that prosecutors are investigating whether the Beltran Leyva Cartel was behind the attack. The Mexican official said on Tuesday that gang involvement is one of several lines of investigation into the shooting of an armoured SUV clearly marked by diplomatic license plates

BOULDER CITY, Nev. - Taking a break from debate prep, President Barack Obama made an unexpected stop Tuesday at the Hoover Dam, his first visit to a tourist spot considered one of the world's great engineering feats. Asked why he came, Obama said: "Because it's spectacular and I've never seen it before." The president has retreated to a desert resort in Nevada for three days of preparation for his debate Wednesday against Republican rival Mitt Romney.

The government employees union AFSCME is running an ad featuring a member who says he collects Mitt Romney's garbage. The worker, a black man, claims Romney doesn't care about "invisible people" like him and the services they provide. See for yourself: Maybe AFSCME should have also consulted with some of their members who are public librarians before they produced the ad. If they had, they might have learned that in his 2010 book No Apology; The Case for American Greatness Mitt Romney specifically wrote about garbage collectors, including a line about them being invisible to the suits:

According to a news report, President Barack Obama is bored with the entire debate process. He allegedly told a political volunteer: “They’re making me do my homework. They’re keeping me indoors all the time… It’s a drag.” Of course he’s bored. Compare what he’s doing this week to what he’s been doing for countless weeks prior to this week. In recent past weeks, when he could have been leading the country and improving the dismal facts and figures he must now defend, he has been having one hell of a great time.
