Monday in politics: Obama, Romney meet for final debate, and more

President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney face off at 9 p.m. EDT at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., for the third and final presidential debate.

CBS News' Bob Schieffer is the moderator, and the topic is foreign policy.

Obama's mission at the debate: Try to make Romney look like a risky bet, while emphasizing his own successes, Yahoo News White House Correspondent Olivier Knox reports. Romney's mission: Convince any doubting voters that he can handle foreign policy.

The debate takes place as polls show the presidential race tight — and getting tighter.
