The Posner Show
On The Posner Show, Sarah and Grant discuss Catholics and the election. Why did the vice-presidential candidates get asked about their Catholicism only in terms of their views on abortion? They discuss the reasons the Obama campaign has scaled back religious outreach. Is there really such a thing as the Catholic vote, anyway? Sarah asks Grant about the “On All of Our Shoulders” letter, a critique by Catholic theologians of Paul Ryan’s economic policy. Does Catholic doctrine support the conservative conception of smaller government? Grant sheds light on an effort by a Republican political operative to claim that the Obama campaign is calling voters with an anti-Mormon message. Plus: Lightning round on the baseball postseason.

The Glenn Show
On The Glenn Show, Glenn and Harold clash over the reason for Obama’s weak debate performance. They debate the privatization of Social Security and the need to raise the retirement age. The conversation turns to a heated debate about personal versus social responsibility. Glenn asks why it would be wrong to return control of social programs to the states via federal block grants, and then answers his own question. Glenn gives Harold the “Biden Rorschach Test.” Harold reveals that he has produced with his own personal funds a political advertisement now up on YouTube.

He also harshly criticizes Obama campaign adviser Stephanie Cutter. Bill describes attending the recent debate between Elizabeth Warren and Scott Brown. Plus: Are conservatives happy with Paul Ryan?

Foreign Entanglements
On Foreign Entanglements, Rob speaks with Daniel about Mitt Romney’s latest foreign policy speech. They discuss the atmospherics of “apology,” and wonder whether Romney would actually increase the defense budget. Would President Romney intervene in Syria? Rob and Daniel set some expectations for the Biden-Ryan debate, and discuss what other foreign policy challenges might emerge in the final month of the campaign. Plus: An analysis of Hugo Chavez’s victory in the recent Venezuelan election.
