When is the Third Presidential Debate?

President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are scheduled to square off for the third and final presidential debate on Monday, Oct. 22 at 9 p.m. EST.

 

A number of pundits say President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney split the first two presidential debates with the governor taking the opening round and the president the second one.

If you subscribe to that view, and are keeping score, then you might be looking at Monday's finale in Florida as the rubber game.
