I don't think either candidate "won" the debate last night but instead the undecided voters did. We finally got to see the 2 main candidates for the presidency argue over some of the key topics we've wanted to hear them talk about. sure some of each of their responses were just repeats from what they've been saying for the past few monthes but that's to be expected from politicians. Kerry had some good moments as did Bush but neither could or should be declared the winner when most of the questions asked have been asked and answered pretty much the same ways for quite a while. I think each candidates main weaknesses or mistakes were brought to the forefront a little more and now those voters who r undecided have a better understanding of the two major candidates but hopefully this won't be the last debate and the next one will involve more telling questions as well as a few more loaded questions.
As far as 3rd party candidates, I'd love for there to be a solid candidate with a reasonable chance for success because I think this country needs a leader who can think outside of his/her party's box and is honestly out for the nations best interest and not just part of it for money or popularity. I just don't really know if I'll see that in my lifetime.
