The Presidential Debate
Wednesday night, President Obama and Governor Romney took the stage in Denver, going head-to-head for the first time. More than 67-million Americans tuned in for the critical moment in a contentious campaign. ABC's Terry Moran has the details.
Analyzing the Debate
Both Republicans and Democrats said Mitt Romney delivered a win during the first presidential debate. But did Romney deliver a knockout or did President Obama fail to bring his A-game? For more analysis of the debate, we turn to ABC's Dan Kloeffler (klef-ler) and ABC Senior Washington Editor Rick Klein.
Percentage Politics
Many expected president Obama to mention Mitt Romney's 47-percent comments that surfaced in recent weeks, but they didn't come up in Wednesday's debate. However, that doesn't mean percentages didn't get their fare share of face time. Many numbers were tossed around throughout night and ABC's David Wright adds it all up for us.

ABC's Juju Chang with the story.
Stalker Found Guilty
Now to a murder trial in Georgia, where the defendant, a convicted stalker, has been found guilty. He chose to defend himself in court, questioning the woman he stalked and the man he stabbed 17 years ago, when the victim was only five years old. After their court room ordeal was over, ABC's Chris Cuomo spoke to the victims.
