Televised presidential debates: How important are they?
How important are televised debates in this year's presidential election?
The conventional scuttlebutt going around is that Republican Mitt Romney will have to score some big blows in the presidential debates this month if he hopes to defeat President Barack Obama Nov. 6. The first televised debate is Wednesday night.

New poll numbers show Michigan's independent streak
A new poll by Public Policy Polling is giving President Barack Obama the edge in Michigan over Republican challenger Mitt Romney — at least for now. Nationally, they're locked in a virtual tie and it's likely that Michigan's numbers will also seesaw leading up to the Nov. 6 election.
But it's the other numbers in the poll about the U.S. Senate race between incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow and Republican Pete Hoekstra, and the job approval ratings of Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, that show the independent streak of many Michigan voters — and the difficulty in predicting with certainty the outcome of close elections in Michigan.
