And the third one's history...
The debates are increasingly becoming irrelevant in the overall scheme of things; they are becoming an opportunity for the candidates to rip on each other personally.
That being said, I think President Bush came out with a slight edge over Senator Kerry.
This debate, being more in tone and structure to the first debate than the second, included questions primarily geared toward domestic policy.
Kerry came out swinging the talking points that he has played with continually as this campaign has moved forward.
Bush pointed out the inaccuracies and contradictions in Kerry's record over the past 20 years in Congress.
Kerry continued his mantra: "I have a plan."
If I had a dollar for every time Kerry claimed to have this nebulous "plan," I'd be filthy rich.
Ratings for the debate are expected to be down, as the ALCS and NLCS are running on Fox and Fox Sports Net.
