Romney and Obama face off in their first presidential debate next week. Whom do they need to reach? What topics should they address? Are their portrayals of American workers accurate or productive? How should the U.S. respond to Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech about Iran’s uranium enrichment program?

Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum joins Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer and Fortune magazine columnist Matt Miller to ponder these questions and more on this week’s “Left, Right & Center.”
