Obama, Romney prepare for foreign policy debate

President Barack Obama and Republican rival Mitt Romney were closeted with advisers preparing for Monday's third and final presidential debate and fashioning strategy on the chessboard of battleground states that will decide the deadlocked race for the White House.

Forty-one of the 50 states are essentially already decided, and the candidates have taken the fight to the remaining nine battleground states, including critical Ohio and Florida. (AP)
