Third Party Debate

Four third-party candidates, who were not invited to the presidential debates between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, have faced each other in Chicago. Tuesday's debate was hosted by the Free and Equal Elections Foundation, a group promoting a more open electoral process, and moderated by talk show host Larry King.

"It's a two-party system, but not a two-party system by law," King said. Obama and Romney were also invited, but declined to attend.

The debate was broadcast by Al Jazeera and Russia Today but on no major US cable news networks.

A second third-party match-up will be held on October 30.
