WASHINGTON - The presidential candidates held another animated debate on Sunday night. But it was not Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama sparring, nor was the event broadcast to millions at home. Instead it was four third-party candidates - Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, Jill Stein of the Green Party, Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party and Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party. They sparred at an event moderated by the most famous third-party candidate in recent memory, Ralph Nader. They met at the back of Busboys and Poets, a popular coffeehouse in the U Street neighbourhood of Washington and debated in front of black-and-white portraits of Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King and the Dalai Lama.

The man had been holding onto the pins, waiting to give them to Romney. And more than four decades after George Romney's bid - he finally found his chance. NYT
