Okay, another tie!!

Missed opportunities on both sides made this debate about as boring as they come.

One would have expected either candidate to at least speak to the audience. Kerry made some half-hearted attempts at this but it didn't play well on TV. Both relied too heavily on their sound-bites, so much so that by the end of some answers i had forgotten the questions. The audience echoed this perception at the end of the debate with their sense that their questions were not answered.

Kerry did present himself as being able to stand toe-to-toe with W. but in the process might have missed an opportunity to get his message out.
