The Last Debate
This week President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney went head-to-head in the last round of presidential debates. The race is as tight as it gets and millions of early ballots have already been cast with just over a week before election night. For more on the final debate here's ABC's Terry Moran.
The Running Mates React
With the last debate in the books, we now turn to the running mates. ABC's George Stephanopoulos sat down with Vice President Joe Biden and Congressman Paul Ryan for their reaction to Monday's showdown. He began by asking Vice President Biden about how both candidates seemed to agree on numerous foreign policy issues.
Debate Party Crashers
A heated political season like this can divide a nation. This late in the campaign, many are firmly entrenched in the Barack Obama or Mitt Romney camps, and we gave two such Colorado voters an inside look at the *other* side. Here's ABC's David Wright.
Conservative Folk
With the election just around the corner, it seems the entire country is divided into liberal and conservative. Think it's bad now? Imagine what it was like back in the 1960s, one of the most divisive eras in our nation's history.
JFK Security Breach
How can a lost jet skier in dripping wet swim trunks and a life jacket manage to easily bypass a multi-million dollar security system in one of the busiest airports in the country. ABC's Jim Avila explains.
Airport Confidential
For big, crowded airports like Miami International, the pressure of delivering a hundred thousand stressed-out passengers safely to their destination every day makes for no shortage of human drama. ABC's Bill Weir has the details.
Caught in the Crossfire
In the neighborhoods of Chicago gang violence has taken over 400 lives this year, including many innocent victims. It's left some parents scared to let their kids play outside. ABC's Alex Perez, who himself grew up amid gang violence in Chicago, has the story.
Florence and the Machine
She was nominated for Best New Artist only last year, but Florence Welsh, of Florence and the Machine fame, has already learned to party like a rock star. Back in January, she chipped her tooth and lit her hotel room on fire with Kanye West. Since then, she has stopped drinking on tour and showed a different side when she spoke to ABC's Cynthia McFadden.
