Third-party candidates get their debates
The official presidential and vice-presidential debates were reserved for the Democrats and Republicans.
But the other candidates are finding ways to have debates of their own.
Thursday in Cleveland, Libertarian Bob Barr and independent Ralph Nader are set to face off over the topic "The Economy: Where do we Go from Here?"
Then, Sunday in Las Vegas, three vice presidential nominees are to debate: Libertarian Wayne Allyn Root, the Constitution Party's Darrell Castle, and independent Matt Gonzalez.
