National Journal’s Brownstein: “In a stark warning on the eve of the second presidential debate, veteran Democratic strategists Stanley B. Greenberg and James Carville write in a newly released memo that the campaign “has reached a tipping point” that could cost President Obama reelection if he does not present a more compelling vision for the next four years.”
Reuters: “U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton assumed responsibility on Monday for last month's deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, which has become an issue in the hard-fought U.S. presidential campaign.”
Clinton told CNN: "I take responsibility." She added, "I'm in charge of the State Department's 60,000-plus people all over the world. The president and the vice president wouldn't be knowledgeable about specific decisions that are made by security professionals. They're the ones who weigh all of the threats and the risks and the needs and make a considered decision."
“The president plans to cast an in-person ballot in Chicago on Oct. 25 — making history as the first incumbent to vote early,” AP writes.
